Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge 495 - use some washi tape

This week the Design Team at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge is looking for Washi Tape as a part of your challenge. The Santa Window is one of my favourite Digi Stamps from Bugaboo Stamps; Unfortunately, it is currently retired but they are re-releasing files from their vault all the time. I coloured the stamp with Copic markers. I then designed the card to look like the inside of the house with Deer antlers on the wall from Stampin' Up, embossed striped paper to resemble beadboard and the washi tape to look like chair mounding. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.

Please join us each week for a new fun challenge.

Crafty Hazelnut’s Christmas Challenge 435 – For a child

The week CHNCC is looking for a project suitable for a child. I immediately thought of a joke. I selected a reindeer digi stamp from Bugaboo. I found a cute joke using Google and created a hidden door with the answer behind it. I coloured the critter with Copic markers and highlighted the stars and belt bells with glossy accents, The background was created using various Oxide inks and then the water flick technique to oxidize the background to look like stars or snow.

The joke reads, “Which of Santa’s reindeer has the worst manners?” When you flip up the door it reads, “Rude-olph.”

52 Christmas Card Challenge – 52CCT15-19 – April 20th – Theme: Snarky

This week at 52 Christmas Card Challenge we are looking for a Snarky/Funny themed card.  When I think snarky, I automatically think of Bugaboo Digital Stamps! They have some of the funniest characters! I used the stamp, Gus Birthday – Old Fart. I changed his hat from a birthday hat to a Santa hat, coloured the image with my Copics, and created my own sentiment based on a wall hanging I saw this past Christmas at Bouclair’s.
