A Tiny Baby is Born

When I saw this digital at Create with TLC, I knew I had to have it. Even though the image is a square, I think it works well on a circle diecut.  I printed it directly on the cardstock.  I used the sketch found in this week's challenge at Christmas Challenges wih Sketches.

 

The base card is 6 x 6 and the dark designer paper is actually a print of holly and berries.  The goldish=green pattern "paper" is really a piece of walpaper that was the perfect color to blend with the beige scalloped circle.  The strip on the right needed to have a folded corner.  Therefore I cut a triangle of the dark designer paper and added it to the folded walpaper making it look like it is doouble-sided.

 

My "Merry Christmas" sentiment is on a matted oval.  As a final touch, I added silver ornate stickers on some of the corners and a couple of strips of silver to hold the pieces together.

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.

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.

This is the sketch that Our Daily Bread Designs is using for their challenge ODBDSLC126 this week.

 

This is the card I made following the sketch above.

 

On the white base I placed a piece of lavendar designer paper of roses.  On top of that are two lacey circles by Spellbinders. These were stamped with two Our Daily Bread Design stamps.  Next I placed a silver ornate trim from the fabric department at Wal-mart.  As a final touch are two strips of purple ribbon, a bow and a corner adorner cut with  a Cheery Lynn Designs die.

 

I am also entering this in Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge #50, Corner Adorners.

Following a Sketch

I am rushing the Christmas season, but with it being so hot in Tennessee, I am in the mood to make cards for cool weather.  This card is for Our Daily Bread Designs challenge ODBDSLC117 of following the sketch below.

This is my card from the sketch above.  I used a  stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs' Loving Memories collection.  I also used the center part of Cheery Lynn Designs' Canadian Kaleidoscope Doily  die.  I really like taking apart and putting different dies together to make an original one to fit my needs and space.  The center of this doily cut out of silver cardstock was a perfect fit.
