Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge 475 1 February quick and easy

For this week's Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge, the theme is Quick and Easy. I used some patterned Christmas paper as my background and added the Spellbinders S4-1012 Joy Die. I cut the die out twice, once in red and once in gold and layered them. I then glued the front onto a card base.  The whole process took less than 10 minutes.

52 Christmas Card Throwdown Challenge – 52CCT40-19 – Technique Challenge – Smooshing

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:

52 Christmas Card Throwdown – technique/stash – Recycling 52CCT8-19

Each month a member of the 52CCC Design Team chooses the challenges for the month. This month Allison chose the challenges. Her pick this month was Recycling. I had a piece of Christmas paper in my stash that I thought I could add my own twist to. Where the paper actually had a few poinsettias, I used an older Spellbinder Poinsettias Die and cut out the flowers from some old red and green envelopes I had in my stash. For the flower centres, I used some half pearls from an old card that I had kicking around. The sentiment was from SSS.
