The Challenge! 

 

Christmas And Ribbon

 

Make a Christmas project (card, tag, layout, 3D item etc) and make sure you include a ribbon....or two....or three, as many as you like!

 

Here are my cards, hope you enjoy them!

 

 

My first card uses the glorious Power Poppy set, Glistening Paperwhites.  I stamped this fabulous image on a Spellbinders Majestic Labels 25 die cut, it showcases it perfectly!  Images colored with Copic Markers.  My sentiment is stamped on to a Sizzix Tags And Labels die cut, in Black Licorice and Pear Pizzazz ink.  Inside is a wisp of the Plaid Designer Paper cut using an MFT Bracket Edge Duo die.

 

 

 

Sheer Ribbon, Flower Button and Twine for accents.  I've also added some Enamel Brads and a lone Candy Dot.  Shimmer and shine added using Wink Of Stella Clear Glitter Pen and Sakura Glitter pens in Teal and Yellow. 

 

 

My next card is a bit more warmer and a wee bit rustic. 

 

 

This Power Poppy set is Simple Joys!  Images colored with Copic Markers.  I stamped the gorgeous basket of pinecones and greenery onto a Spellbinders Perfectly Pierced Classic Frame.  That same MFT die, Bracket Edge Duo used to hi-light my Designer Papers.   



 

Sentiment stamped in Black Licorice ink.  Gingham Ribbon, Button and Twine for accent.  I also added a bit of shimmer using a Sakura Glaze Pen to hi-light the holly berries. 

 

Here are the full stamp sets I used:

 



 

Glistening Paperwhites

 

 

 

 

 

 

Simple Joys

 

Hope to see you all over at the NEW Mod Squad Challenge site for this Special Challenge sponsored by Power Poppy!  Remember the Challenge runs til November 25th at noon!

 

Thanks for poppy-ing in.

Christmas Cards Galore

Good afternoon!

I don't know how I did it but I assembled these cards one afternoon with the help of Laurie's encouragement over at PTI.  So a BIG thank you to her!

These will be entered into the Challenges at; Papertrey Ink, Assembly Line Card Making, Simon Says Monday, Shine Bright Like A Diamond, Stamping Sensations, Christmas Greetings, Penny Black, Anything Christmas and Scrapy Land, Anything Goes.

 

Using the Papertrey Ink die Polka Dot Parade #9 I cut out my trees.  3 in Pink, Green and White card stock.  One of each was cut in Glitter paper.  I was going to put 3 on a card but then I had the brilliant idea to make 9 cards.....in one afternoon!  lol

 

 

I also found a very easy way to assemble the tree pieces like a puzzle. Cutting a piece of chipboard just smaller than the length of the tree, I added adhesive to it and then just started putting the pieces in place.  Easy Peasy!

 



These are the cards with the glitter trees.  All sentiments are from Power Poppy stamp sets, Glistening Paperwhites and Holly Golightly.

 

Green Embossing Powder.  I also added a corner die cut using Elizabeth Craft Designs, Tags & More 1 - Lace, each in a glitter paper.

 

Silver Embossing Powder.

 

Pink Embossing Powder.

 



 

Joyous Greetings.

 

 



 

Tis The Season To Be Jolly.

 



 

Each card also has a thin strip of Ribbon and Sequins for accent.  Designer Paper by Nicole, Winter Whimsy.

 

They really went together very quickly--who knew?

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 

Enjoy~~
