Boughs of Holly, Red and Green Challenge


This green 5 x 7 1/2 card was made for the christmasblogchallenge challenge Holly, Red and Green.
I put a plaid green square onto a red square of cardstock.

of The Season Cartridge. I added a ready made raised flower with a green rhinestone in the center.




I stamped a Holly onto red cardstock and embossed it in gold. I colored the inside
with red and green gel pens. Placed it on a green square of cardstock,



Added some red rhinestones and a ready made popped up greeting
to each side on a strip of green cardstock..

Halloween Card Challenge


I made this 5x7 card for the stampsruschallenges to make a Halloween theme card or
scrapbook page. I found this neat paper with flowers that look kinda
spooky! I put it on an orange card and then added a strip of orange cardstock with a strip of black on top.
I stamped the greeting and popped it up.



I added a cat from the Oct 31st cricut cartridge. I put it on orange cardstock and cut around it.
I popped it up and then added orange rhinestones for eyes and some matching rhinestones on
the black and orange vertical strip.

4 Papers 3 Snowflakes and 1 Snowman Challenge


This card I did for the Christmasblogchallenge recipe was 4 papers, 3 snow flakes and
1 snowman or woman. I used a red card base. the 4 papers I used were a plain red
paper, cut with a friskars border punch (and applied around the edges), a christmas ornament print (top 3/4) a chrismas
theme print with similar colors at bottom and a strip of a red and white "Joy" print in between. I mixed up some perfect pearls in a small bottle and sprayed over the whole card adding tons of shimmer.


I cut the snowman from the christmas theme print that I also
used at the bottom 1/4 of card. I glued it to some red cardstock to add thickness and cut it out again.
I added extreme glitter paint to the whole thing and popped it up with stampin up dimentionals.


I stamped the greeting in green then heat embossed it.


I stamped 3 snowflakes in green and heat embossed them as well.


I added a red Prima poinsettia flower with a green rhinestone in the center to lower right corner.



I added a small red rhinestone to each corner.

How Sentimental Card Challenge


I made this 6x6 card for the onestopcraftchallenge How sentimental Challenge. I used 2 different patterns on the top of the card. I used a friskar punch to punch out a design in both parts and put a matching ribbon across the seam.

 

I stamped my sentiment on a green card then a pink one. I popped it up
with dimentionals and placed a green rhinestone on it.


Can you see the green showing through the punched design
on the print?


I finished with some Prima flowers with rhinestone centers.


I had some leftover bits so I made another version


Used a hotter pink on this one.


You can really see that friskar punch design on this one.


Love those Prima Flowers!
