For this week's challenge, I created the background by stamping the smaller stamps from the Waltzing Mouse called Warm Fuzzies and a snowflake stamp from Hero Arts. I then added the largest bird stmp and coloured it with Copics.
The month’s Technique Challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown is called Smooshing. I used 2 die sets, one by Spellbinders and the other for Creative Expressions. I used Distress Ink for the technique. Vs me trying to explain the technique, I would refer you to a couple of masters of the technique. Check out technique below:
This month’s theme challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown is Snowmen. I used an adorable snow-woman and friends stamp from A Day for Daisies. I coloured it with Copics and added a sentiment from JustRite stamps and dies.
This month our colour is white, blue and brown. I made a simple card using Creative Expressions – Precious Marieke – Snowflake Circle die (Spirit of Christmas series) and Deer Love Die-namics by MFT. I made a double-ended sentiment banner and Clearly Besotted Stamps, Let’s Prance stamp set.
This week at Crafty Hazelnut’s Christmas Challenge we are looking for stocking. I think of tockings and automatically think of the stocking were hung by the fire with care…. I used my Cricut and a lovely Fireplace 3D box card by My Scrap Chick. I cut it out using various cardstock from my stash and embossed the fireplace with a brick-patterned embossing folder.
This week the Crafty Hazelnut’s Christmas Challenge Design Team challenges you to make a card with the sentiment as the focal point. I used a number of different elements to this card. I started with a debossed background. Next, I used smooshed technique and die cut a frame. I used a Joy sentiment with a nativity design as the “O”. The final detail was adding a ribbon to bring the overall design together
Our fabulous 52 Christmas Card Throwdown Challenge DT, Branka, has designed a great sketch to inspire this week’s card. I turned the card/sentiment to fit an A2 landscape format. The stamp is by Clearly Besotted, LET’S PRANCE. I coloured the image with Copics and Distressed Ink. I used a circle die and snowflake button.
Join us each week and we will help you build your 2019 Christmas card stash.
For all our challenges here at Crafty Hazelnut’s Patterned Paper Challenge, we encourage you to use your patterned paper. All to often we card crafters have a tendency to hoard our patterned paper. For my card, I used a wonderful SVG file from Dreaming Tree Designs called For the Ladies. The sentiment is from Gina K.
I look forward to seeing your patterned paper put to good use.
