The Card Concept: Rustic Holiday

 

Welcome! We're featuring a new challenge at the Card Concept, Rustic Holiday.

So much inspiration in this photo! And Julie has given us colors as well.

My card features all Poppystamps dies and cardstock today.

The Magical snowflake was embossed several times to mimic the tin snowflake in the 

upper right corner.

Hope you play along. We love seeing your take on the inspiration! 

Have a great week!

The Card Concept #164 {Rustic Holiday}

Poppystamps:

Merry Christmas Poe Script, Diamond Snowflakes, Scalloped Stitch Frames.

Trio of Christmas Cathedral Cards

The most wonderful time of the year is quickly upon us, and I'm fully into all

things Christmas. (I started Christmas decorating the day after Halloween!)

The craftroom is glittered and glowing with new stamps and dies, and I try

to spend a few hours each day enjoying the new orders.

Cathedral die from the Greetery was one of the newbies. It has a set of stencils that

allow you to play with color. 

The first card I made was on a Soft Stone background with the Greetery's Brick Layer die.

I made a stencil with the die and vellum, allowing a brick shadow effect.

Pine Wisp die and Opposites Attract Holiday and Holiday Script.

With those items I did a trio of Christmas cards.

The second card is on a cream bg, with brighter windows, and a copper embossed sentiment.

All 3 cards are sprayed with a glitter spray, and all have chunky glitter added to the pine.

And the 3rd, on a nighttime background.

Such a fun set, and so easy to whip up a striking card!

How are you holiday cards coming? Hope I gave you some inspiration today.

Enjoy the season, friends.

Day 1 25 Days of Christmas Tags

Hi and welcome to Day 1 of 25 Days of Christmas Tags.

I know... I posted Day 2 first. This tag, inspired by

Simon Says Stamps' Shari Carroll's GORGEOUS tag

took a bit longer  (drying time).

 Take a look at Shari's tag,

Layers of loveliness everywhere!!! And you know I love layers.

And here's my tag,

Shari has a video showing in detail how she made her tag, lots of mixed media,

layers of paper, and my favorite, topped with starry acetate.

I had no acetate with print, so I made my own with heat resistant acetate, and

snowflakes from PTI's Silver White Winters.

You can see the silver embossing in this photo. 

The strip under PTI's Wet Paint Holiday die is something from my stash 

from Martha Stewart.

Are you playing along on Tracey's blog? Lots of sponsors with LOTS

of prizes!
