Frosty Winter Greetings

A little paper, a squirt of Glimmer Mist, a bit of ink and glitter and a snow flake punch was all it took to create this wintry card for Freshly Made Sketches’ latest challenge. I love the simplicity of the sketch, so I wanted my card to carry that same feeling. “Simplicity” is my word for the year, you know.

Seriously, there was no fancy to-do with this project. I used white cardstock and a bit of blues to create this frosty theme. I applied glitter to my snowflake and around the card corners (kind of hard to see in the photo) with a small paintbrush for a winter touch; but other than that, it was very basic. I also kept the sentiment general so that it can be a whatever, every day kind of card.

Bows Give Personality to Crafted Cards

Mojo Monday set forth their final sketch challenge until the new year, and thankfully I needed a couple of cute Christmas cards for my son’s preschool teachers, which meant I just had to make time amidst all the holiday hustle and bustle to whip up some fun little cards.

I used papers from the Recollections Christmas Noel 12×12 paper pack and some white card stock from my stash. I inked the edges with white and green and pink pastels, and added stitching around the outer edges. I also punched a small shape for each of the cards to add a little flair to the white tags and embossed each tag with a different snowflake pattern. The bows were the final touch; and as you can see, they give each card a completely different personality.

Merry Christmas and thanks for popping by for a peek.

A “First Class” Christmas Card

Posted on December 14, 2015 by Mama

Oh my goodness, with all the holly and jolly of the season I completely forgot to share a bit of good news with you. I found out last week that my Christmas card submitted to the Cards in Envy Put Some Extra Layers On challenge in November won the First Class award for that week. That’s the top award for the challenge and my first from Cards in Envy. I’m so super excited about the win because I love this new paper and I was very happy with the finished product. You know, sometimes I’m just sort of “meh” about a card but show the world anyway.

You can find all the specifics about the card and see a companion piece at the original post: Cozy Lodge Christmas Cards.
