Color Me Christmas for TSSC291

Happy Monday!  Today we have a clean and simple sketch for this week's Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge from Mary Jo at Technostamper.

I have really come to love clean and simple designs.  I used Color Me Christmas for this card, works so well with this sketch.

The base is simply Whisper White with a 1 1/2" strip of paper from the Season of Style DSP Pack.  To add a little pop of color, I added a Gumball Green scalloped edge to the DSP.  The greeting stamped with Gumball Green adds a little extra color as well.

Santa is stamped onto Glossy Whhite card stock with StazOn Black.  I used a blender pen and ink pads to color him in.  I fussy cut him out and adhered him to the card with a couple of dimensionals.  A super fun and super quick card!

This was such a great challenge, I hope you will join me!  You can see cards made by other members of the design team by clicking on the links below.  Go to Technostamper to find out more about participating and to link up your card!

Color Me Christmas for CCMC277

It's Thursday and time for a new challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.  This week we have a sketch, a square one for a change up.

I haven't done a square card in quite awhile, so this was a fun challenge!  I went with a smaller size square, 4 1/4".    Color me Christmas was the first set to jump into my head, here's what I came up with.

I have been into making Christmas cards, so I figured I'd just replace the flower in the sketch with a cute little reindeer!  Here are all the details.

1.  Cut Gumball Green cards stock 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" to make my 4 1/4" square card.

2.  Cut Real Red card stock 3 3/4" x 1 3/4" then embossed it with the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder.  Added it to my card with SNAIL.

3.  Cut a 3/4" x 3 3/4" strip of polka dot paper from the Season of Style DSP pack. Added it to the card next to the Real Red card stock.

4.  Stamped the reindeer on Whissper White card stock with StazOn Black ink.  Colored him in using a blender pen and re-inkers.  Fussy cut him out.  I used Soft Suede for his body.  Real Red with Pear Pizzaz and Old Olive for his scarf and sweater.

5.  Cut a strip of Sahara Sand 3/4"x 4 1/4" and made a banner end using the hexagon punch.  Stamped "very merry Christmas" from Endless Wishes.    Added the banner to the card with SNAIL and the reindeer with dimensionals.

A super cute and fast card!  So much so that I made a second card with the Santa!

I hope you will join the challenge with me.  You can find all the details for it at Create with Connie and Mary.  While you are there be sure to check out the beautiful projects they previewed for the Winter Collection 2013.  They have so many gorgeous ideas to share and the Winter Collection, as with all their collections, is an amazing value.  Here's the details.

Color Me Christmas for TSSC283

It's Monday again and time for a new sketch from Mary Jo at Technostamper.  Another really fun sketch this week, take a look.

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do at first.  I took at look at my stamps from the Holiday catalog and decided to go with a Christmas card.  But not just any card , a pop up card with Color Me Christmas as the main focus.  Here's the front of the card.

The first part of the card I focused on was the banners on the left side.  I thought about using Gorgeous Grunge or card stock banners.  But then I realized that the chevron stamp from A Banner Christmas would work perfectly for the sketch.  I used Old Olive, Real Red, and Crumb Cake for my chevron colors.  The greeting is from Oh, Goodie.  It's stamped with Real Red on Whisper White and die cut with a Bitty Banner Framelit.  Santa was stamped with StazOn Black on Glossy card stock and fussy cut so it could be added to the card with dimensionals.  I colored Santa in with ink pads and a blender pen.  Now for the inside.

Lots going on huh!  The DSP is from the Season of Style DSP stack.  I added in a present done the same as Santa, except it's die cut with a circle framelit to add to the Deco label.  For the greeting, I went back to A Banner Christmas and used the Holly Jolly banner above the present and punched Christmas for below the present.

I just love how the Deco Labels framelits work so well with this pop up!  I was able to do beautiful layering for my focal point.

This was a really fun card to put together.  I hope you will join in with me a create a card of your own!

Color Me Christmas for CCMC269

It's Thursday and time for a new challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.  This week is a sketch challenge, take a look.

What a great sketch!  I have been working with Color Me Christmas a lot lately, so I used it for this sketch as well.

I am just loving this super cute stamp set!  Here's all the details about how this card came together.

1.  Chocolate Chip card base that is slightly smaller than the norm.  4" x 11", embossed with the new Stylish Stripes EF.   A layer of Cherry Cobbler card stock added measuring at 4 1/4" x 3 3/4" to make it hang over the card base on each side.

2.  A Whisper white layer on top of the Cherry Cobbler with a banner and arrow from the Season of Style DSP pack at the bottom.  Merry Christmas from Petite Pairs stamped above the DSP with Cherry Cobbler ink.

3.  Focal point added using Color Me Christmas. Stamped the cute reindeer with StazOn Black ink on Whisper White then die cut with the scallop circle from the new Circle Flip card thinlet set.  Colored the reindeer using a blender pen and ink pads.  Added a matting of Old Olive card stock using the circle framelits.  Attached to the card with dimensionals.

And that's my fun little Christmas card for this week's challenge!  I hope you will join in!  To find out more about this week's challenge and see more samples, go to Create with Connie and Mary.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Come back tomorrow for this week's Flashback Friday!

Color Me Christmas for TSSC280

It's Monday, time for a new Lunchtime Sketch challenge!  I used Color me Christmas again this week, I am just loving this cute set!  First let me show you the sketch Mary Jo gave us.

I have been into simple cards, so this sketch was perfect for me!  Here's the card I made.

 I really enjoyed making this card, I got to use my glossy card stock that I miss so much!  The card base is Whisper White, but the stamped images are on glossy white.  I stamped them with StazON Black and cut them out.  They were colored in with a blender pen and ink pads.  I love how bright and happy the images turned out!  I didn't want the card to feature only traditional Christmas colors, so I threw in Pacific Point to add a little kick!

 Once all the images were colored and cut out, I added them to the right side of the card with dimensionals.  But first, I paper pierced a straight line down the card and added Candy Dots to follow the sketch.  I stamped Merry Christmas from Teeny Tiny Wishes with Real Red ink on the lower left side for my greeting.  Then embellished the inside of the card with a present colored just like the one on the front to finish the card off.

Color Me Christmas for Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #135

Today is the beginning of a new journey for me, I am a new Design Team member for Try Stampin' On Tuesday!  I am really excited to be on the team and create a card to share with you every other Tuesday.  For this week's sketch I used the fun new set Color Me Christmas.  First, let me show you the sketch for the week.

And here is the fun Christmas card I made for this sketch.

Isn't this just the cutest?!  I saw this set in the Holiday Catalog and knew it would be great to work with.  Here's the details:

1.  Card base is Cherry Cobbler with a layer of DSP from the Season of Style Paper Pack.

2.  Added a strip of Whisper White card stock embossed with the snowflake design from the Delicate Designs embossing folders.  Tied a piece of Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding at the top of the embossed paper strip for a touch of color and to give a more finished look.

3.  Stamped Santa on Whisper White with StazOn Black ink and die cut the image with the new Deco Label Framelit.  Added a matting layer of Cherry Cobbler cut with the framelit the next size up.  Colored in Santa with a blender pen and ink pads.  Added to the card with dimensionals.

4. Stamped the greeting from Oh, Goodie! with Cherry Cobbler on Whisper White and added it underneath the ribbon on the embossed snowflakes.

5.  The very last detail was adding a bit of Dazzling Details to the fur on Santa's hat and coat.  It's a little hard to see in the picture, but here is a closer look.

And that's it!  A very fun Christmas card for this week's challenge!  I hope you'll join the challenge with me!  Just hop on over to Try Stampin' On Tuesday for all the details!
