4 lattice 4 Christmas

I am still needing more Christmas cards, so to be easy on myself I whipped up a few using the lattice die.  I sure love that die and find it super fun to create with.
I combined it with some patterned paper and black layers with a few simple embellishments.
I think I made all 4 in 20 minutes.

Red Birds - combining 3

I made this for our Queen this week. I'd love for you to join in with the Queen for the Day Challenge that I host on Splitcoast.

 

I combined 3 stamp sets to make this card.  Evergreen, Serene Silhouettes and Snow Swirled (the sentiment).  I stamped the scene on a piece of vanilla, then cut it into 3 sections, then trimmed some of the sections so they were of different heights.

The bottom red piece is cut out with edgelit and embossed with the matching pattern.

Frosty Friends AMBUSH

I made this card for the layout at Retro Sketches.
The colors are from Dynamic Duos - Marina Mist and black.

I love this "Frosty Friends" set.  I think it is very versatile.  Here I only used part of the image and cut it out.  I embossed dots and punched out some snowflakes from "Snow Swirled".
This Black & White gingham is my favorite ribbon EVER!  I still have a little bit of it left.

My daughter asked to make cards with me.  She made a lovely and creative card for me and while we were making she said "Mom, we're having a lot more fun than the boys!"  (My husband and son were outside).  So cute and priceless!

New Queen.. QFTD139

Here's my card for this week's Queen.  I hope you come play along at the Queen for the Day Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers.

Folded Christmas tree

A cute and easy fold.  You use a circle cut in half.  The tutorial is here.  This was the technique on Splitcoast today.

I also used Tasteful Trim die, Top Note die and punches - boho blossoms, oval, dotted scallop trim and decorative label.

We will be making this and 2 other punch art cards at my next card classes.

Christmas Candle - again

 

I just love the Christmas candle punch art!  I use the bird punch and the modern label punch and some sponging to create the candle.  This time I used an embossing folder behind to create the "glow".

 

This card is made for 3 challenges.

The layout at Splitcoast.

The colors from Hand Stamped Sentiments - early espresso, old olive, more mustard, elegant eggplant.

Also for 'ABC' Challenges - tic tac toe - green cardstock, twine and leaves.

New Queen... QFTD137

 

I made this card for our Queen this week - AudreyAnn.

I hope you come check out the Queen for the Day Challenge on Splitcoast that I host.

 

I used my biggest clear block and markered it all with green and pressed it onto the paper, this is what showed up!  I stamped the tree and sentiment in green.  I stamped another tree overtop and embossed with iridescent ice.  You can catch the shimmer much better in person.  I wish it stood out a bit more though.

New Queen... QFTD130

 

This card is for Queen Loll. 

I also combined a number of other challenges.

The colors are from The Paper Players - baja breeze, gray, black

Ways to Use challenge - markers

 

I used a die cut negative of a snowflake and popped it up overtop of another piece of white that I used markers to color in shades of blue and gray.

 

The middle piece is using the boho blossoms punch and I cut and crumpled it and used a mini brad.

 

I hope you come play at the Queen for the Day Challenge.
