Christmas Lantern

Here is a lantern I've made  using a template at Peppercus Designs, along with the digital stamp of the owl
I've designed it for the Fairytale Challenge blog. The lantern is quite large actually and a great piece to put together. I've used Garden Green card stock, and the paper is from the woodland walk I had fun putting this together. Go and check out what the other ladies have done for our Pimp it up challenge. The notebook was another project I made using the same owl, but this time he's sitting on a branch with some stockings. I will use it for all my Christmas lists that I have: Shows, Orders, Gifts etc.

Vintage Christmas

It's a Vintage Christmas Challenge at Holly Jolly this week. It is our last challenge until January 8, 2013. Thanks to all who have followed us and entered our challenge. Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy 2013, hoping you have time to do lots of crafting. For my card I've used a few new things including the stamp which is from the Winter Memories by Stampin Up. The sentiment is from Petite Pairs. The paper was retired last year. The embossing folder is the Snow Flurry die, and was embossed with Iridescent Ice Embossing powder. Thanks for looking
Merry Christmas from my house to yours.

Christmas Decoration

Hi Oh Christmas Tree is the challenge for this time around at Fairy Tale Challenges. The idea is to make either a decoration for the tree or for your wall. I've gone with a simple version of the Stampin Up ornament this time. I stamped and  cut out the ornaments with the framelits then put together, and used the snowflurry die for the center along with a button and pearl. The first one is using Marina Mist and the second on is using Not Quite Navy, the snowflakes are made with the glimmer paper in silver, as well as a blue glimmer paper I found, and the marina mist paper.

Metallic Challenge

Over at Holly Jolly this week we have a new challenge for you and that is to show off the metallic colors on your Christmas cards. So whether it be gold, silver, pewter, copper, whatever you wish. For my card I've used brushed gold card stock along with gold embossing powder, and champagne glass glitter too, so lots of the metallic things happening on my card. I've also used Cherry Cobbler and Basic Black. The stamp set is Come to Bethlehem and the music notes wheel is the background along with the sentiment stamp from Come to Bethlehem For the ribbon and bow I've used the Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon, and to finish off the card, is a basic rhinestone on the star.

Tag Your It

Over at Come and Get It this week we have a challenge that involves tags, you are to make a tag or make some with a tag. Great time to get the tags done for your gifts. Thanks to Shell for our challenge.
For my card I used the Lacy Brocade embossing folder on the Soft Suede for the background. The tag itself is one of those large postal tags, I used the music wheel with versamark on it first and embossed it with gold embossing powder, then I used distress inks to color it, doing an emboss resist technique. I then stamped on the Noel greeting from the Greetings of the Season stamp set, then I used the framelit dies to cut out a couple of ornaments, and used bakers twine for the bows and the string on them. The branches at the top were done with a MS punch. The final thing I made was a bow using the scalloped tulle ribbon in Cherry Cobbler, and adhered it to the bow.

Blue Christmas for Come and Get It

Over at Come and Get It this week we have a color challenge for you, the colors are midnight muse, bashful blue and whisper white. I've chosen to do my card using the Christmas Lodge set, along with the Petite Pairs for the greeting. I have all sorts of layers. the first of course is the whisper white, followed by midnight muse, then I have a layer of bashful blue, yeah it looks darker, but that is because I used the versa mark ink and then the irredescent ice embossing powder over top after I had embossed it with the Snow Flurry Embossing folder. I then cut out two ovals one in white one in midnight muse slightly larger, and on the whisper white, I used a bit of sponging with the bashful blue, hard to see in the pic, but it's there, I stamped the Christmas Lodge onto whisper white, then cut it out, and put on dimensionals after I glittered all the snow. the sentiment is stamped on the white layer, then I added a bow using the midnight muse ribbon, and some snowflakes from my stash and to finish it all off I added some silver glimmer paper on the edges, cut out with the edgelit die. It really looks pretty in person, as it is very sparkly
