Good morning, Friends! I know it's been a while since I've shared anything. I am trying to get ahead on some of my design team commitments because I need to get going on my Christmas gifts! Yikes! I read somewhere that there are only 8 weeks till Christmas! Since I am making a lot of my gifts, I need to get sewing! So that is what I have been up to. But today is the Thursday challenge from the Create with Connie and Mary team. This week they are challenging us with color. Take a look at these beautiful colors!
Aren't they beautiful?! Love these and will be using these again! Smoky Slate, Coastal Cabana, and Real Red. Here's my card.
So I decided to go with a non-traditional Christmas card. While red is a traditional Christmas color, the others - not so much. But I love how the Smoky Slate resembles silver! I recently got this beautiful new photopolymer stamp set called Endless Wishes. I LOVE this set!! I love snowflakes anyway but the words are awesome! Here are the card details:
- Card base is Real Red cut at 4 1/4" x 11" and folded in half
- Layer of Smoky Slate cut at 4 1/4" x 2 1/2"
- Stamp the snowflakes from Endless Wishes in Smoky Slate onto the Smoky Slate layer in a random pattern
- Strip of Coastal Cabana cut at 4 1/4" x 1" and adhere to back of Smoky Slate layer then adhere to card base
- Use the Deco Label framelits to cut a label from Whisper White
- Stamp words from Endless wishes using Real Red and Coastal Cabana then use dimensionals to adhere to card
- Stamp snowflake from Endless Wishes in Coastal Cabana onto Whisper White and cut out then pop up onto card
- Add a rhinestone to snowflake center
Be sure to check out the rest of the designers' work at the Create with Connie and Mary website! I hope you will be inspired to play along with us this week!

Deb, what a pretty stamp to use with these colors! The greeting looks so pretty on the Deco Framelit and accented with the additional snowflake!
ReplyDeleteI love this new stamp set and love the way you have used it here! Love the addition of some Crumb Cake.
ReplyDeleteI never noticed that Smoky Slate resembles silver but it does - and looks great on a Christmas card! This is such a pretty Christmas card that you created.
ReplyDeleteThat set is SO pretty...I didn't think I needed another snowflake set, but I love the words in it, too! Great job with the color challenge...such a CAS but elegant card!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous design! Your cut out snowflake is perfect! This is such a great Christmas set, your card is amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the single snowflake against the flurry in the background. And I know what you mean about Christmas gift prep---it's right around the corner! Best of luck getting it all done, we ladies are great multitaskers :)
ReplyDeleteLove this FAST AND FABULOUS card! I think I need this set!
