October CAS Christmas Card Challenge

Hi there, blog friends! It’s time for the October challenge at CAS Christmas. Our Hostess is Marsha and she has chosen ‘Gray & Red’ for our prompt. Our Guest Designer is Darnell.

I fell in love with this cute little Santa/Chimney die, but it was a real challenge to pair it with alphas that would work...this set turned out a bit wonky, but fun to have a tiny image with tall skinny alphas :) I also dry embossed a piece of stone gray cardstock as a background for the Santa...here's a close-up:

CAS Christmas Card Challenge

Hi there, blog friends! It’s time for the September challenge at CAS Christmas. Our Hostess is Colleen and she has chosen ‘Plaid’ for our prompt. Our Guest Designer is Melanie (Cards by Melanie ).

Such a simple card...I used my PTI 'Plaid' cover plate for my front panel and added a sentiment with gold foil cardstock. The cute little holly is from an old PTI set and the red gems are from my stash. 

Here's a close-up of that lovely plaid pattern:

Addicted to CAS Card Challenge

Hi there, blog friends! Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS ~ The wonderful Joy D. is our Hostess, and she is challenging everyone to create a card using the Code Word ‘Flower’.

                         

I needed a get-well card and thought this sentiment was perfect with these pretty blooms. I colored the jug and flowers with Copic markers, then mounted it onto a PTI mat.

We would love to see how the code word ‘Flower’ inspires you! If you would like to see inspiration from the Design Team, and play along with us, come on over and check out the ATCAS Blog ~

Supplies:

November CAS Christmas Challenge

Hi there, blog friends! It’s time for the November challenge at CAS Christmas. Our Hostess is the amazing Trina and she has chosen ‘Non-traditional Colors’ for our prompt. Our Guest Designer is Vicky from Crafting Clare's Paper Moments.

My all-time favorite color combo is pink and gray, so this was a no-brainer for me...I started this 5x7 card with the PTI Linen/Canvas Cover Plate on white cardstock to provide contrast and texture. The wreath and berries are from MFT and I chose the sentiment from Reverse Confetti. To finish I added Glossy Accents to the berries...and that was it!

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. Since the holiday season is nearly upon us, this is a great way to add some unique cards to your Christmas card stash! I hope to see you there ~
