CAS Christmas Card Challenge - Reminder

Hello friends ~ Just a reminder that there is still time to link up your card for the July CAS Christmas Card Challenge. Hideko is hosting this month and she has chosen ‘Sparkle and/or Shine’ for our prompt.

I'm such a fan of MFT's Stylish Snowflakes. For this card, I layered 2 different snowflakes with gold metallic cardstock and added a clear gem to the center. The sentiment was embossed with gold EP and finished with the Greetery's Nordic Frame. I also used gold metallic cardstock for the background.

CAS Christmas Reminder

Hello friends ~ Just a reminder that there is still time to link up your card for the August CAS Christmas Card Challenge. Trina is hosting this month and she has chosen ‘Pine’ for our prompt.

I used a NBUS stamp set from MFT (Iconic Christmas). There are lots of really cute little trees, deer and ornaments in this set, so I'm sure I'll be using it again. I created the background with Distress inks and a white Gelly Roll pen, then spritzed Shimmer Spray to add sparkle to the sky. I also used Grout Grey cardstock for the card base for contrast.

Hi there, blog friends! It’s time for the August challenge at CAS Christmas. Our Hostess is the amazing Trina and she has chosen ‘Pine’ for our prompt. We have 2 Guest Designers this month ~ Elizabeth from Paper Sweetness and Lucie from Lucie G Cards.

 

I started by embossing a panel with Richard Garay's Pine Needles EF, then adding my NBUS sentiment from The Greetery. Lastly, I mounted the panel on a red card base and added a few red gems...quick and CAS! Here is a close-up of the embossed panel ~

Reminder - July Challenge at CAS Christmas

Hello friends ~ Just a reminder that there is still time to link up your card for the July CAS Christmas Card Challenge 

 I am hosting this month and I chose ‘Santa' for our prompt.

I love my silhouette stamps and this Santa and reindeer seemed perfect for the prompt. Instead of a snowy night sky, I chose to add a few white clouds and a simple sentiment.

The Man, The Myth, The Legend

Hi there ~

This is my first DT card after several months, and I'm excited to also be hosting the July challenge at CAS Christmas . 

 I'm sure you expected to see the man himself, but I decided to add a twist and I used his name and hat for my focal point.

 The alphas are from Altenew. I stacked them x3 with cardstock, then topped them with patterned paper. The puny sentiment is from SSS and I think the hat is Impression Obsession, but I'm not sure.                                                            

We hope you’ll stop by the Challenge Blog and check out all the beautiful Christmas cards by our DT... The challenge ends on the 24th, so you have plenty of time to play along with us...It’s a great way to add some beautiful cards to your Christmas card stash! I hope to see you there ~

CAS Christmas Card Challenge - Reminder

Hello friends ~ Just a reminder that there is still time to link up your card for the February CAS Christmas Card Challenge. Christine is hosting this month and she has chosen ‘Winter Scene’ for our prompt.

Another 5x7 Christmas card for a very special (and religious) person on my list :) Instead of using black for the silhouettes, I decided to use white so they would pop against the navy blue background. I splattered gold paint (like stars in the sky as opposed to snow) and used gold EP for the sentiment.                          

My teamies have created some beautiful cards to inspire everyone ~ Come on over to the challenge blog to check them out, and play along with us, if you like! You have until the 24th to submit your card! I hope to see you there ~

CAS Christmas Card Challenge

Hi there, blog friends! It’s time for the February challenge at CAS Christmas. Our Hostess is Christine and she has chosen ‘Winter Scene’ for our prompt. Our Guest Designer is Izzy Scrap.

This is a fun die set that was a freebie from SSS during December. I started this 5x7 card by blending Distress Oxide Inks for the background, then I placed white glitter cardstock behind the stars and spritzed the panel with sheer shimmer spray. I used black metallic cardstock for Santa and his reindeer and added snow with a white marker. Lastly, I used Navy ink for the sentiment, and this card was complete! 

We hope you’ll stop by the Challenge Blog and check out all the beautiful Christmas cards by our DT and Guest Designer...The challenge ends on the 24th, so you have plenty of time to play along with us...It’s a great way to add some beautiful cards to your Christmas card stash!

CAS Christmas Card Challenge - Reminder

Hello friends ~ Just a reminder that there is still time to link up your card for the January CAS Christmas Card Challenge. 

Julia is hosting this month and she has chosen ‘Silver & Gold’ for our prompt.

This is the first time I'm using this nativity die, and I was so happy that it cuts in 2 pieces so I could use silver and gold cardstock to show it off. I also heat embossed the sentiment in gold, placed gold cardstock behind the lace border, and added a few silver gems.

Sending Warm Blessings

Hi there, blog friends ~ Welcome back! I hope you all had a nice holiday with family and friends, and that 2022 is filled with good times and good health!

It’s time for the January challenge at CAS Christmas. Our Hostess is Julia and she has chosen ‘Silver & Gold’ for our prompt. Our Guest Designer is Lisa.

I started by die-cutting the wreath twice in each color then stacked them beginning with gold and ending with silver. The berries were cut with red foil cardstock for a pop of color and I used gold EP for the greeting...that was it!

Christmas Critters

Hi there, crafty friends ~ Just a reminder that there is still time to link up your card for the November CAS Christmas Card Challenge. I’m hosting this month and I chose ‘Christmas Critters’ for our prompt.

                                                                                                                      

I thought it would be fun to use this new penguin set from MFT for my critter and create a monochromatic color palette with pink accents and a pale pink sky. I used a white gel pen for the snow and Flower Soft and a little pom-pom for the hat. I have a few young teens on my holiday list, and I think this card will work well for one of them. Here is a close-up of all the sparkle and texture on the hat ~
