All of my cards today were inspired by challenges and they are all Christmas cards. I started on this theme after seeing the latest sketch over at the Stars & Stamp blog - Below is a copy of the sketch for this week and the them is Holiday/Christmas Cards!! NOTE: If you are one of the OWH Cardmakers - please be sure to send your cards off to your shipper ASAP! The Holiday boxes are in process and all cards should be sent now.
Sketch 91
My Cards
I based all three of the cards on the sketch, but used a variety of die cuts and papers to make them all a bit different. All of the papers for these cards were from Basic Grey and Memory Box. The new die cuts are also from Memory Box and are from the brand new release. I found them while at my LSS this weekend and had to have the Ornament and the wonderful Flourish....LOVE!!! All of the Sentiments are from Hero Arts as are all of the card sets.
Today, I worked on a few more cards and this one in particular was created for the new Greeting Card Challenge over at The Outlawz. I also used the leftover scraps from yesterday to make this fun and very CAS style card! I think it turned out to be one of my favorites!
This is the card that also inspired the name of today's post and I really LOVE this Sentiment. I would also be a great card for OWH. I am submitting it to each of these new challenges:
- The Outlawz - Greeting Card Challenge - Anything Goes
- Make it Monday - Challenge # 59 - Anything Goes
- Christmas Inspirations - #35 - Die Cuts and/or Punches
- Crazy 4 Challenges - Create something for an upcoming Holiday
And I also have one more Holiday card from today, which also was created with the same papers and theme in mind -
And last, but not least I have one more card to share and this one inspired the CAS Challenge being hosted over at The Outlawz. The challenge was to create a Monochromatic card for ANY Holiday. I chose Christmas, of course and also wanted to make my card ALL PINK for Breast Cancer Awareness month !!
I am also submitting this card to these "Pink Themed" Challenges!! Please join me --
- Clean and Simple Sunday - Challenge # 24 - Think Pink
- The Squirrel & The Fox - # 3 - One for the Girls
- By the Cute and Girly - HAPPY BIRTHDAY Challenge
And that's it for now folks! I am off now to clean up my room a bit and work on organizing my Copics!!! Have a wonderful day and as always --- Happy Crafting!!
