Tinsel in a Tangle

 

Hi there and welcome back. I am really scraping to keep up with everything right now, and it is so hot, that I am having to water every day. Our grass is fried! Absolutely no rain in sight! To be honest my life feels like it is a tangle right now, so that was what inspired my card for today for the Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge, which is always anything goes. I hope my card will inspire you to play along!


The alligator stamp and the sentiments are both from old Sparkle N Sprinkle sets. They were stamped in Versafine Claire Nocturne ink and I used watercolor pencils to color. 

Snow white flocking was applied on top of glue for the fuzzy part of the hat and Glossy Accents were applied to the lights.

The panel was layered on to the red patterned paper and then on to the card base. 

That's is for today. We would love to see you join in the challenge, and you can also go over to the Challenge and see what my other teamies have created.

Till next time, stay cool!!!!!

Patterned Paper Santa

 Hi there! I'm back from my three week trip to Scotland, where we also attended my niece's wedding down in England. We had a wonderful trip. Itwas so nice to see the whole family again. Now, of course, I've got major catching up to do! 


Today, my card is for the Christmas Craft Creations July Challenge, where we want to see patterned paper.

My card went together quite quickly, I used an old Christmas paper pad, which I cut the diagonal backgrounds from. I cut the Santa die (Lifestyle Crafts) from another piece from the pad.

I cut out a frame from the middle of the diagonally matched papers with a Memory Box Cross Stitched frame and then used the smaller die to cut out the beige colored cardstock for Santa's background. 

A red and white checkered ribbon was tied around the spine of the card to finish it off!

Easy peasy! So get out those patterned papers and let's see what you've got!

Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope to be back soon! Be sure to check out the challenge over at Christmas Craft Creations!
