Get ready for the Holidays at CCC

This week our challenge at Crafty Creations is to get ready for the Holidays with projects for American Thanksgiving or Christmas Celebrations.

 

I have created a card using the Christmas image from the Tag It stamp set and I have used the Chalkboard Technique to create a CAS style card.

 

The inspiration for the layout has been taken from the current challenge over at Muse Card Club.  I loved the simple style of the card and the blackboard look.  My pop of colour is the base cardstock.  Check it out if you get a chance.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

Another non-traditional colour with a bow and some gems.  Something different and a technique I think I will use with some other images.

 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

 

Make My Monday Challenge - Santa

Muse Card Club Challenge - #44

Scrapbook Stamp Society Challenge - #28 Anything Goes with option embossing

Dream Valley Challenge - #70 Clean and Simple

Delicious Doodles Challenge - #62 CAS

 

 

Thanks for visiting, see you next time.

Holly Jolly Anything but a Card

Over at Holly Jolly our challenge is to create something for Christmas but no a card.

 

So get out those 3D projects you have been keeping for closer to Christmas and get ahead start.

 

I have created a little box for some tags, I created with some retired DSP and the retired Two Tags Die.

 

Here is a shot of the box which at the moment does not have a handle because I could not decide if I wanted it made out of cardstock or ribbon.

 

 

and here with one of the tags.  I think I should be able to get about 10 tags in each box.

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Tag It, More Merry Messages
Card: Wild Wasabi, Very Vanilla, Real Red, Early Espresso
Ink: Chocolate Chip 
Accessories:  Two Tags Die (retired), Real Red Ribbon (retired), Crochet Trim, Basic Rhinestones, Sticky Strip, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

A quick and easy project and perfect if you have some DSP sheets in your stash.

 

I would like to add this project to the following challenges:

 

The Glory of Christmas Challenge - #15 Anything Goes

One Crazy Stamper Monthly Challenge – Christmas

 

 

Hope you week has started off great and that you are doing fine!  Hope to see you again soon….Meg
