Merry, Merry Merry!

 Hi there and welcome back to the Christmas Craft Creations Challenge for June! My header for June is my Fort Nair Horse Chestnut Tree! Loving all the beautiful blooms this year! So for the CCC Challenge we were asked to have trees the focus, so I chose a Christmas tree!

I had received this die cut from Lifestyle Crafts a while back, so used it for this month's challenge.

I die cut the Christmas tree with a darker green cardstock than I was using for the base. A piece of double-side tape was adhered to the card base and then the die cut was attached on top. 

Then Green Iris Glitter was adhered to the remainder of the adhesive.

The sentiment was stamped in the Stamping Platform in Versafine Claire Olive ink and was then heat embossed with Clear Detail.

The sentiment, after being cut to size, was then attached to the front panel with adhesive strips.

A piece of green and white rope was tied in a bow around the side of the card to finish it off!

I hope I have given you some incentive to come over and join in the Christmas Craft Creations Challenge, where there are prizes to be won!

Till next time!

Snowflake Winter Wonderland

 Hi there and thanks for stopping by my blog today. 

My card today is for the Christmas Craft Creations February Challenge where the theme is Blue and Silver.

I began with stamping the Recollections Snowflake background stamp in Versafine Clair Paradise ink. 

I die cut a frame from silver cardstock and framed the background before layering to a silver card base.

A strip of double-sided tape was attached to a scrap of white cardstock.

I then die cut the different snowflakes from the Recollections Snowflake die set.

The dies were released from the strip and the sticky backing was removed ....

and glitters were applied to the sticky surfaces. I used, Silver Dreams, Surf and Fascination glitters.

The sentiment which was from an old Sparkle N Sprinkle set called Winter Swirl was stamped in Versamark. I applied Silver Lightning and Silver Detail embossing powders and heat set. I hand cut the banner and then edged it with blue Copic.

The sentiment and the snowflakes were added to the card front with foam pads and then I sprinkled Waterscape glitter over any sticky open areas, like the center of the snowflakes.

Here is a close up of the sparkle from the glitters.

That finished up my card for today. Please do pop over and see what the rest of my Teamies came up with. Lots of inspiration! We hope to see you join along in our Silver and Blue Christmas Challenge.
