I decided to create another Christmas card for this hop and also as a part of my 25 Days of Christmas Color revelations card series. Here I share a card each day inspired by colors on my Pinterest board card Christmas colors.

Let me show the card, I created...

To make this card I used Christmas Reindeer stencil. To make this card, I took a patterned paper panel and applied white embossing paste throuh the rein deer stencil. Once dried I added some glue along the edge of the reindeer and added some gliiter. Then I embellished it with some die cut leaves, sequins and ribbon.

I was inspired by THIS pin...

I am sure you all must have played at Virginia's View challenge one time or the other, it is sad that this is the last challenge that Virginia will be running, all good things come to an end but I hope Viginia will start it again in the near future. I loved playing along at Virginia's View and had to link up my glittery creation :) at Virginia's View Challenge #21 - Glitter, I am also sharing this at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown - Dec Pick a previous challenge (I picked a theme challenge - for a man) and Craft Stamper - Take it Make it december challenge - Take a technique, sharing the season (I did stenciling and adding glitter to embossing paste)

 

 

Hope you enjoyed my creation and will come back tmrw for more inspiration. Don'd forget to comment and link up ur stencil project for your chance to win :) Hop along HERE

We are back with a new challenge at Addicted to CAS . This time the host of the challenge is very talented Sarah G and she has chosen the code word... JOY. This is the last challenge for the year and Christmas theme seems to be just right for this time :)

Our winner will win $15 Gift Certificate from our amazing sponsor Happy Little Stampers

I had so much fun creating my card:). Here's my card...

I thought I would combine the ATCAS challenge with my Christmas series Inspired by colors from my Pinterest board Christmas Colors. I was inspired by THIS pin.

To make this card, I die cut the green panel from patterned paper (using SSS double stitched rectangle dies). I then die cut the alphabets joy once through the patterned paper and once again using white card stock (using MFT Little Lowercase dienamics) I then adhered the green panel on card base and inlaid the white die cut alphabets into it. I stamped, colored and fuzzy cut the bird (using POD Robin and Finch) I then stamped the holly, berries and twig over this and colored it (using Dee's Artsy Impressions - Christmas Bell Medley)

I am sharing this at Addicted to Stamps and more #173 - Holiday, Merry Monday #182 - Birds and Happy Little Stampers Dec CAS challenge - Favorite Technique (Inlaid die cutting)
