Snowflakes, Snowflakes, Snowflakes

I've been busy getting ready for the holidays ~ only one
post last week ;(.  Sometimes procrastination pays off apparently,
since now there are five challenges for snow and snowflakes at 
I have been making gift card holders, mostly featuring
snowflakes.  All of the paper used has been from my stash,
a few are older Stampin' Up papers.  I used the We R Memory 
Keepers Envelope Punch Board (which I believe is almost 
identical to Stampin' Up's).  The snowflake is the smallest one
in PTI's Fancy Flake Die Collection;  buttons are also from PTI.
I have made over thirty, mostly to give as gifts at school.  There 
are a lot of ideas on Pinterest for giving wrapping paper and tape
for a neighbor or teacher gift with a cute saying with it ~ 
"Hope you're getting all wrapped up in the spirit of the season!"
I am doing this, and adding tags and gift card holders as well. 
Its fun and practical.
 



 These are the seven different papers I have used.  Snowflakes are 
perfect for this.  Since to get a regular design straight on the board, 
you have to cut your paper on the diagonal and waste a fair amount 
of paper.


 
 

This week the challenge is…

Let It Snow

Peace, Love & Sparkly Stuff

Eight cards for four challenges ~ all using the sketch from 
CAS(E) this Sketch.  I had a very similar card in mind when 
I had to buy the Tinsel 'N Trim set from Reverse Confetti ~ 
just to use this fun sentiment "Peace, Love & Sparkly Stuff."
I love snowflakes and even better ~ glittery snowflakes.  I don't
consider even one of these cards to have traditional Christmas
colors.  I made them for specific people using their favorite 
colors.  I also made two for the current color challenge at 
Dynamic Duos to use Black and Smoky Slate with the 
Dessert Option of Christmas.  CAS-ual Fridays and 
week for a CAS Christmas theme.   Sorry, I do not have any
 CAS-ual Fridays Christmas stamps.  I went with the
snowflakes on the Christmas tree in the inspiration photo.

 




Supplies ~ Partial List
Stamp:  Reverse Confetti Tinsel 'N Trim
Paper: PTI White, Glitz & Glitter Bright Solids & Sweet Solids, Patterned Paper Doodlebug Designs 
     Lily White Sprinkles & Pebbles Basics Ash Chevron, several PTI & SU cardstocks

Christmas Blessings

A Christmas card for challenges at CASology, CAS-ual Fridays
and Freshly Made Sketches.  At CASology the cue word is "brown,"
and at CAS-ual Fridays the challenge is to use embossing.  I tend to 
like bright colors, but I really like how this brown and neutral
Christmas card turned out.

In real life the glitter paper is almost exactly the same color as
the fine linen patterned paper.  In the photo the colors seem to clash.

 
Supplies ~ 
Stamps:  PTI Christmas Blessings & Star of Wonder
Paper:  PTI Fine Linen, Vintage Cream & Fine Linen Pattern Pack, SU Chocolate Chip & 
     Glitz & Glitter Sweet Solids Pack
Ink:  SU Chocolate Chip
Die & Punch:  PTI Limitless Layers 1 3/4" Circles, EK Success 1 3/4" Circle
Additional Supplies:   PTI Linen Impression Plate, Doodlebug Design Sprinkles, &

and came up with a mini scrabble board with words relating to 
apple.

CASology & CAS-ual Fridays

One more card today ~ for challenges at CASology and
CAS-ual Fridays.  At CASology the cue word is "picnic"
and a button is needed at CAS-ual Fridays.  When I think 
of picnics, I think of insects ;), instead of ants, flies and 
mosquitoes, I decided to go with a beautiful, non-pesky
butterfly.
