Hi everyone,
I'm excited tell you that CAS Christmas Challenge is back in action! 😊
Our talented Designer, Linda (Lin's Craft Corner), is the host for the challenge this month, and she chose Wreath as the theme. Our special Guest Designer is Sue (Sue's Card Craft). Welcome, Sue!
Here's my card:
[How I made the card]
1. Die-cut the sentiment twice from the the dark brown cardstock, and once from gold mirror foil cardstock. (*1) I stacked the die-cuts slightly offset so that you could see the brown shadow.
2. Glimmer foiled the poinsettia wreath, die-cut the parts, and arranged them on the letter O.
4. Glimmer foiled the frame on the card base.
3. Stenciled falling snow on a piece of white cardstock with embossing paste, and trimmed it to the size of the inside frame.
4. Glued the NOEL on the stenciled panel.
5. Adhered the entire front panel inside the frame.
(*1) I originally made the letters all dark brown, but the card needed a little more festive feeling, so I added gold mirror foil die-cuts over the letters except for the "O".
Check out our challenge site for more inspirations, and join this fun challenge.
You have until June 24th.

ReplyDeleteSo clever and creative to make the O in NOEL your wreath Hideko - good decision to make the other letters in gold - and I love the subtle stenciled snow background! xx
ReplyDeleteLOVE your design Hideko. Making the "O" into a wreath is so creative. The gold foil really makes this card elegant, along with the hot foiling. Beautiful card, my friend! xx
ReplyDeleteYour card is absolutely STUNNING Hideko!! I just love the combination of the gold mirror cardstock and all the gold foiling...so pretty and festive looking! And using your "O" for the wreath was genius...LOVE it!! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteLove that you used a wreath for your 'O'! This is beautiful, Hideko!
ReplyDeleteNot many of us would reach for dark brown card for their Christmas cards, Hideko - but I sure would! LOve that your chose the wood grain and left it brown to create your wreath! O SO cute, decorated with all these darling tiny, foiled elements!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I've missed you! xx

You are so clever and creative, Hideko. I love how you used brown die cut NOEL letters and created a sweet wreath by decorating your O with tiny embellishments. Then covered your N E and L with die cut gold foil...so Beautiful! Your gold foil framing added the perfect final touch. TFS my friend. I am so happy to have the CAS Christmas Card Challenge back...I will definitely be playing along. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteWonderful card - love the way you used the "O" as your wreath! Fabulous use of the glimmer foil too! The shine must be gorgeous in real life!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and very creative how you did your wreath as the “o”. Love all that shine from the foiling… takes it up a notch to elegance!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful letters, Hideko! I love that the brown makes the gold shine even brighter! Using the O for a wreath and decorating it with the simple greenery and poinsettia was brilliant! All framed up beautifully!
ReplyDeleteLove the gold and white with little pops of color!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to make a wreath with the O of noel, Hideko - so clever!!
ReplyDeleteHideko, your beautiful Noel, using the O as your wreath is so creative. Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest way to incorporate the wreath and such a clever and creative design...loving the falling snow on the background too Hideko x.
ReplyDeleteI can always count on you to come up with something so creative and fun and you did it again. I LOVE your word and using the "o" for the wreath with a little embellishment is amazing!
