Christmas Lodge for Monkey Challenge 84

I've been busy all day crafting with my daughter. I created home decor items while she painted things to hang on her newly redecorated walls in her room. So when it came time to create a card for Monkey Challenge #84: Anything Goes + Sketch, I opted to keep my card simple. And while I was at it, I thought this would be perfect for the inspiration challenge at http://handstampedsentiments.blogspot.com.

The lodge stamp is from Christmas Lodge, and the sentiment is from Holiday Happiness. Both were stamped in Early Espresso. I added glitter to the lodge's snowy roof and ground with a 2-way glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds glitter. I added a strip of flowers with the Petals A Plenty embossing folder, and also rounded opposite corners on the layers and the card. I hope you like it!

Holiday Lineup for Monkey Challenge 75: Christmas!

I think these elves are so cute! They're just one of the three stamps in the Holiday Lineup stamp set that I used for this week's A La Card Monkey challenge. I used Dazzling Details - that sparkly dimensional glue - like stuff - on the hat brims, pompoms and a couple of the collars.

The paper I used is Holly Berry Bouquet dsp, along with Real Red and Wild Wasabi. The sentiment is from Holiday Happiness.
