STAMPlorations CAS November Challenge - hello

This month's STAMPlorations CAS Challenge is:

Here's what I made:

I stamped the feathers in muted rainbow colors with the help of the wreath builder stencil. I die-cut a square in the center, stamped the sentiment, and popped it up with square black craft foam. I placed the square a little offset so that the black card base will show.

I liked the "modern rustic" feel of the card.

You have until November 30 to link up here.

Loll's 12 Tags of Christmas 2018 - merry christmas

The gallery of Loll's Twelve Tags of Christmas is growing and it's so much fun to look at all the gorgeous samples and entries!

 
This is the second tag I've made for the event.

1. The background is an alcohol inked acetate sheet. It's a leftover piece from this project. I pasted the sheet onto the white cardstock and die-cut it with a tag die.
2. The trees were stenciled with pearl embossing paste. I die-cut a tree from a piece of acetate sheet and used the negative as a stencil. I sprinkled crystal powder over the embossing paste before the paste dried to add more shine.
3. The hill was die cut and the sentiment was heat-embossed in silver pearl on the die-cut vellum. 
4. I stamped and die-cut my favorite bear. I gave him an alcohol inked heart. I added Glossy Accent to his nose to give it a shine. Finally I popped him up with foam squares at an angle.

 
You have until November 23 to link up your tag here.

CAS Christmas Card November Challenge - ho ho ho

Christmas is coming in just about a month. I'm sure you're all getting busy preparing for the holiday. If making Christmas cards is one of the things on your preparation list, why don't you make one or two (or many!) with a Santa theme? This month's CAS Christmas Challenge is Santa, hosted by Christine. We're joined by a wonderful Guest Designer, Pam (Expressions with Heart).

And here's my card:

I heat-embossed the Santa image and the sentiment in white on the red panel. I made a white Scallop trim and layered it under the red panel. Everything was attached to the Kraft card base. It's a very quick and easy card to make - perfect for a last-minute Christmas card. 

The Design Team and our wonderful Guest Designer, Pam, have some fun Santa cards to share with you at the challenge site. Please check it out and play along with us! The link is open until November 24.

I'm sad to say that this will be my last month to share my cards as a CAS Christmas Challenge Designer.
Thank you so much, Loll and Bonnie, for inviting me to the CAS Christmas Challenge. This was my first time to be on a Design Team of any kind and I've really had a great time and learned a lot. I'm also so thankful for the friendships I've made with the wonderful and kind Designers of the challenge.

Starting from next month, I'll be on the Design Team of our sister challenge, CAS Mix Up and I'm really looking forward to the new adventure. 😊
