Hi everyone,

Welcome to our new challenge at CAS Christmas!
This month's challenge, hosted by our talented Designer, Barb, is perfect for helping you make last-minute Christmas cards. She chose Christmas Critters as the theme.
We have Valerie (Le Scrap de Vava) as Guest Designer. Welcome, Valerie!

Here's my card:

[How I made the card]

1. Stamped and die-cut the bear and the Santa hat. 

2. Colored the hat with a marker and tucked it under bear's arms.

3. Foiled the sweater borders and the sentiment on white card base. Die-cut the sentiment.

4. Glued the foiled front panel onto the red card base.

5. Popped up the bear and the sentiment with foam squares.

Isn't the prism foil beautiful?🌟🌟🌟

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!
