CAS Christmas August Challenge - merry christmas

Hi everyone,

It's time for a reminder for CAS Christmas Challenge! 

Here's my card:

[How I made the card]

1. Die-cut the decorations and the pine bows from watercolor paper.

2. Watercolored the die-cuts.

3. Glued glitter paper to the back of the decorations.

4. Die-cut the window from the front pane and heat-embossed the sentiment (*1).

5. Inked light blue with a blending brush on the card base and glued the pine bows and decorations on the base.

6. Drew strings with a white gel pen.

7. Popped up the front panel on the card base with foam tape.

(*1) Stamped the sentiment with Distress Oxide Ink and heat-embossed it with clear glitter embossing powder to give the sentiment sparkle. 

I hope you'll check out our challenge blog for more inspiration, and share your card with us here. Our challenge link closes on August 24th.

CAS Christmas August Challenge - merry christmas

Hi everyone,

Welcome to the start of the CAS Christmas August Challenge!

Cathy (Cathy's Card Spot) is our host this month, and she chose "Decorations" as the theme. We are happy to have Lucie (LucieG Cards) as Guest Designer for this month. Welcome, Lucie!

Here's my card:

[How I made the card]

1. Made a piece of metallic tissue paper. Loll made and shared with us a wonderful tutorial video, so I watched it.

2. Foiled the silver sentiment frame on a piece of white cardstock.

3. Die-cut a bauble (window) in the foiled front panel.

4. Attached a piece of acetate to the window, and glued the metallic tissue paper to the back of the front panel.

5. Die-cut the hanger from silver foil paper and glued it on to the bauble.

6. Added a rhinestone to the hanger.

The link on the challenge site is open until August 24th. I hope you play along with us and add a Christmas card to your stash.
