We Wish You a Merry Christmas

You will be wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas Eve 4 months from today!  Have you started shopping?

Today I am posting a card that I made for our challenge group on SCS called Christmas Crazy!  Shelly is the coordinator of the group and she also sent everyone in the group this kit that included the sweet image, sentiment and some patterned paper for July and August!  For the rest of the months, she pairs us up and we send each other a similar kit.  But, she sent them all this round--thanks my friend!

Shelly sent us the image and sentiment from Dreamland Crafts stamp set called We Wish You a Merry Christmas.  I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers.  The sentiment was die cut it with my Taylored Expressions Modern Sentiment Labels. I then layered the Christmas plaid patterned paper over the Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler and used three sizes of Spellbinder circle dies for the layers.  At that point, I decided to make a shaker card!  I put a piece of acetate behind the three layers and then added Taylored Expressions Bold Tiny Diamonds in green, red and white.   I now have a fun Christmas Card!

Here is my card shook up to see the Tiny Diamonds!

I hope you like my card.  And--thanks Shelly for a fun kit this month!

Naughty or Nice?

Today I am showcasing a card I made with a Christmas kit that I received from Tammy for our Christmas Crazy group on SCS.  This was a replacement kit she sent me back in May as the first one had not arrived. But--the day after I received this kit, the first kit also arrived.  I made two cards with that kit and posted them yesterday, so please check back.

Tammy sent me these sweet images from Recollections and I colored them with my Copic Sketch Markers. I added some Lawn Fawn glitter to the hats of both of these cuties!  The background paper is by Doodlebug's Christmas Town line--it is so dang sweet!  I think this card is cute--Naughty or Nice!

 

Here is the inside of my card, with a sentiment from the same set and more of the cute patterned paper!
