CAS Christmas October Challenge - merry

Hi everyone,

This is a reminder for CAS Christmas Challenge, and our host, Marcia, picked Gray and Red for the theme of this month.


Here's my card with red foiled baubles:


[How I made the card]

1. Spread a thin layer of Transfer Gel over a piece of red cardstock.

2. Put a piece of foil sheet over the paper and ran it through the laminator.

3. Punched out 5 circles from the foiled sheet.

4. Die-cut 5 bauble caps and letters "MERRY".

5. Glued the caps and the letters onto the foiled circles.

6. Debossed the snowflakes on a piece of white panel, and glued it over a gray panel.

7. Popped up M, R, and Y with foam tape, and glued E and R onto the debossed panel.

8. Connected the baubles with silver thread.

9. Glued the entire panel to the card base.


Please check out the challenge blog for the wonderful sample cards made by our Designers! The link is open until October 24th.

I hope to see you in the gallery!

  2. Love your Gorgeous die cut foiled ornament with the die cut hangers and silver metallic thread. Your Memory Box Pinpoint Snowflake with the gray CS peaking thru was a perfect background for your stunning ornaments with the die cut letters. TFS your beauty and detailed description, my friend.
