Snow and Snowflakes

Well, we are forcast to have snow the day after Christmas.  It isn't the same as a White Christmas, but I'll take it.  We don't get much measureable snow in Tennessee.  I just love  to watch it fall; I'm like a little kid when it comes to snow.

This card uses Sketch 1 from 2011 from Christmas Challenges with Sketches.  I used numerous snow designer papers.  Also in the layering is a die from Cheery Lynn Designs called Mexican Tile.  This diecut can be used for so many things.  I think it is perfect for a snow theme as it is like a snowflake, so lacey.   In a couple of the corners are dies from Corners F from CLD.  The theme for the CLD this week is Happy Holidays with Layering.   Highlighting the card are a couple of snowflakes from Spellbinders.   These were cut from glitter paper.  The image in the middle is a couple of stamps from Stampin' Up.  It is colored with Copic markers and the glittery snow is Stickles.

The third challenge for this card is Our Daily Bread Designs' Snow and Snowflakes challenge, the theme for my card.  I did not have any of their winter-type stamps so I used the word Blessings from their Christmas Blessings stamp. 

Christmas Greetings in Layers

Here is another greeting card for the Christmas season.  This one has a number of layers.  I used  two Stampin' Up images into one on ther top circle.  I was able to use a number of designer paper scraps.  The corners are enhanced with Cheery Lynn Designs corner dies.  This card uses beige and red tones instead of the traditional red and green.

I am entering this in Christmas Challenges with Sketches and Cheery Lynn Designs' "Tis the Season" challenge.

Winter Wonderland

It is December and the gals at Just Some Lines are thinking about Winter Wonderland,  Thus they are hosting this as their theme for the challenge the next two weeks.  You will have to drop by and use your favorite Just Some Lines digi and enter the challenge.

 

The card below is my inspiration for the challenge.  I hope you like.  I am also entering this in Christmas Challenges with Sketches' Challenge Sketch# 52 this week.  After following the sketch, I embellished with white glitter snowflakes made with Spellbinders dies.

Snowman on Layers

Here is a card I made for Christmas Challenges with Sketches using the sketch they provided.  I have really been getting into this site as it give me an opportunity to use my scraps and gives me a new way of giving dimension to my cards.

I have used my all-time favorite snowman stamp.  I have used it so much; it is one made by Hero Arts.  The greeting is by Stampin'  Up.

I hope you like my card.  All the layers really give the card body.

Following a Sketch

Here is a card I made following a sketch on Christmas Challenges with Sketches.  It has multiple layers of Christmas paper, some die cuts and a digital image I have had for a long time, but I don't but know its origin.   The picture of the two tags are the ones that go inside the front of  the card.

Layer Upon Layer

I'm getting in the mood for Christmas.  Here is a multi-layer 6-inch square card.  I have been able to use a lot of scraps from Christmas past with this card.  My folded tree is the focal image of the card instead of a digital or stamped image.  I have my Christsmas message / greeting  inside.  This card is being entered in Christmas Challenges with Sketches.
