A few weeks ago, my sweet and talented friend, Virginia challenged her blog followers to create a card using paint chips. If you haven’t seen her gorgeous cards using them, please check out Her Blog ~ you’ll be amazed!
So, I finally made a trip to Home Depot to pick up some paint chips, then perused her blog for some ideas, and decided to CASE this card!
I had a lot of fun playing with paint chips, too! I used 'Behr' brand, and I was a bit surprised at the really high quality of the cardstock they use to make these paint samples!
My 2nd card is for 2 challenges:
CASology ~ Our cue card this week is ribbon, but instead of using something from my ‘mega’ ribbon collection, I decided to use a die to represent a ribbon and bow. And, for the Addicted to Stamps & More challenge, where our theme for this week is to create a 'Clean and Simple' card.

I ADORE your take on Virginia's paint chip card, Barb! So fun how you created it for the current season!
Your second card is so gorgeous! Love that ornament and what a fab idea to use the dies for your ribbon and bow!
Great execution on both cards Barb. The die bow is lovely, and your paint chip card is cheery in those blues.
Your "ho ho ho"card makes me smile from cheek to cheek! What a LOVELY take, Barb! I am so glad that you got to play with paint chips. Aren't they FUN (and CHEAP) to play with? The added strips of glitter are so pretty! I like how festive and shiny your ornament card looks! Thanks for linking up your card!
