Sketch Challenge with Contempo Christmas...



I enjoyed using a sketch to create this card. The idea for this card started with the Jolly Bingo Bits stamp set. I wanted to use the penguin, but after spotting some Baja Breeze paper with glittery red dots in the Candy Cane Christmas dsp pack, I chose the reindeer so I could add a shiny red nose to go along with all the other dots on this card. (A little FYI here - did you know you can color Stampin' Up!'s rhinestone jewels with Sharpies? I'd suggest not coloring it when the rhinestone is on your card.)

The tree is from Contempo Christmas, stamped with all three colors on this card - Baja Breeze, Real Red and Crumb Cake. The greeting is from Curly Cute. I used several punches - the 1" and 1-1/4" circles for the reindeer layers, and the Scallop Edge Border Punch in Crumb Cake.

Stamps: Contempo Christmas, Curly Cute, Jolly Bingo Bits;
Ink: Baja Breeze, Real Red, and Crumb Cake;
Paper: Whisper White, Real Red, Baja Breeze, Crumb Cake, Candy Cane Christmas dsp;
Accessories: 1" Circle Punch, 1-1/4" Circle Punch, Scallop Edge Border Punch, Clear Circle die, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, glimmer brad, rhinestones, Stampin' Dimensionals.

Come join me for a color challenge...


I seem to be stamping cards for Halloween, then Christmas, then Halloween again. So it seems fitting that since I had my Halloween Stamp Camp last night, I should be stamping Christmas cards today! This Cherry Cobbler card features Deck the Halls dsp, which contains all of the colors in the challenge today - Always Artichoke, Sahara Sand and Cherry Cobbler. I used the spiral punch on the dsp, Cherry Cobbler seam binding, and champagne glass glitter on Tombow Liquid Adhesive on the Contempo Christmas saying. Super cute, super easy!
