New Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes/For Someone Special

 

There's a new challenge today on Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge and this week it's anything goes with the option to make something for someone special.

Head over to the challenge blog here for all the details and to see the cards from the rest of the Design Team.

And the prize on offer for this week's winner is:

My card was made during a recent Zoom craft class with Fanny Stafford who is a Stampin' Up demonstrator.

The background is a piece of card embossed with a brick embossing folder from Stampin' Up layered with red paper.

On the scalloped rectangle I stamped two of the houses from the Coming Home stamp set in Basic Grey ink, stamped off.  I then stamped and die cut the house and two trees, coloured them in and added them to the rectangle.  The stamped sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set also from Stampin' Up.

I finished the card with some red gems and a punched heart.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Crafty Catz Challenge - anything goes

Watercooler Wednesday Challenge - all about occasions

My card was made at a Zoom Stampin' Up class recently with Fanny Stafford.

The sentiment I used is from the Christmas is Gleaming stamp set and I finished the card with some glitter glue.

Weekly Inspiration Post for The Little Paper Tree - Leafy Décor Again

 

I'm back today with another inspiration card for The Little Paper Tree online craft shop.

I'm using the Leafy Décor stamp set from Pinkfresh Studio again and this week I'm also using the coordinating die:

You can find both of them here in the online shop.

To make this card I cut a piece of white card measuring 9.5cm by 13.5cm and stamped half of the main stamp along the two longest edges.  I used my stamping platform to do this - I simply flipped the piece of card around so I got the same amount of the stamp on the top and bottom sides of the card panel.

I die cut the outline from white card and attached this to the panel between the two stamped images and then added a sentiment in the middle of the die cut panel.

Finally I matted the card panel on to green card and then a card blank and added some pearls to finish the card.
