Time is short, so I’m wrapping it up with the last few Christmas card designs for the year.

Added some glitter to the snowflake centers for a little pop on this pretty designer paper.

And here’s another card using the Tri Square die.  So easy and fun to add some lovely patterns.  It’s a great way to use up some scraps, too, if you’ve got some.

The holly was colored with Copics and then fussy cut.

A stamped sentiment inside gives a nice finishing touch.

Entering five challenges this week!

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: “Candy Canes”

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: “Winter Inspiration”

Stamp and Create December Challenge: ” Anything Christmas”

Die Cut Diva’s December Challenge: “Snow and Christmas/Holidays”

Here’s another quick and fun set of Christmas cards.

A little embossing adds some interest to the white space, and each ball is accented with a white gel pen.

With the image and sentiment mounted together on the acrylic block, it was easy to get them stamped straight on every time.

Glitter tape adds some sparkle and texture while keeping the cards nice and flat for mailing.

The cards are entering a few challenges this week:

Simon Says Monday Challenge: “Anything Goes”

Cards in Envy: “Christmas CAROLS Challenge” – As the sentiment suggests, the Christmas carol “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” was the inspiration.

Snow anyone?

The Friday Mashup Challenge #187 this week is “All About the Weather.”  “.. let the weather you are currently experiencing or would like to be having inspire you to create your project.   If you’re up for mashing up the challenge you can add in a metal embellishment.”

Love these metal stickers!

Added some pretty rhinestones to the snowflake centers, too.

Another challenge over at the Mod Squad Challenge Blog is all about the “Music of Christmas.”   “..or even just make a card inspired by a Christmas carol..”  Well… “Let it Snow!”

This card set is also playing along in both of the Simon Says Challenges this week!! First is the Simon Monday Challenge: “Holiday Cards.”  Second is the Simon Wednesday Challenge: “Anything Goes.”

We have purchased our season passes to a local ski area.  Love to see the white stuff coming down… in the mountains!! Hope to be in some soon!!
