CAS Christmas July Challenge - happy holidays

Hi everyone,

Half of the year has passed and there're only a few more months till Christmas cards are mailed off. If your Christmas card stash is still low, it's a great time to start building it up now. 😊

Our wonderful designer, Linda (Lin's Craft Corner) is hosting the CAS Christmas July Challenge, and she chose Poinsettia as the theme. We're happy to have Sandra (Sandma's Handmade Cards) as our Guest Designer this month.

Here's my card:

[How I made the card]

1. Foiled the gold frame on the red front panel.

2. Die-cut poinsettias from gold foil cardstock, and glued them onto the front panel.

3. Added white Nuvo Crystal Drops to the center of the flowers.

4. White heat-embossed the sentiment on the front panel.

5. Glued the entire front panel onto the card base, and trimmed the poinsettia petals at the edge of the card.

Please check out the challenge blog for more inspiration, and play along with us! The challenge is open until July 24th.

CAS Christmas June Challenge - be merry

Hi everyone,

It's time for a reminder post for CAS Christmas. This month's challenge theme is:

Here's my card:

[How I made the card]

1. Stamped 6 snowmen with Versafine Onix ink and clear heat-embossed them.

2. Stamped the sentiment in red pigment ink and clear heat-embossed it.

3. Made masks for the snowmen, and sponged light blue over the sentiment and the masked images.

4. Peeled the masks and colored the snowmen with Zig markers.

5. Die-cut the panel using the frame die.

6. Glued the front panel onto the light blue card base.

CAS Christmas June Challenge - merry christmas

Hi everyone,

I'm hosting this month's challenge at CAS Christmas and my prompt is Snowman. 

We are so happy to have Steph (My Paper Corner) as Guest Designer. Welcome, Steph!

In case you don't have any snowman stamps or dies, I made a card without using  a stamp or die today. I hope this will inspire you to play along with us, with or without snowman supplies. 😊

Here's my card:

[How I made the card]

1. Foiled the sentiment frame on a piece of white card stock.

2. Cut out a carrot from orange felt and a heart from blue felt.

3. Attached enamel dot eyes, and glued the carrot and the heart to the framed panel.

4. Adhered the front panel to the card base.

Check out the challenge blog for wonderful clean and simple Snowman cards from the Design Team and our Guest Designer, Steph. I'd love to see you in the gallery!

The challenge is open until June 24th.
