DT Winter Wonderland: Merriest Christmas

 

 Dear Scrappers,

This is my June post for Winter Wonderland Challenge Blog:

This month's sponsor is:

I chose the Winter Chickadee for my card following this month challenge "Flying High at Christmas"

I used an sketch from try stampin on tuesday: challenge-558.

I colored the printed digital image with distressing inks using a watercolor brush for a soft look. Then I die cut a circular tag using the CTMH die, and distressed the edges using a gold ink. After it dried, I added some enamel dots to showcase the red fruits and snow flakes. For the rest of the fruit, I used red glitter paste after coloring them with red ink.

I attached the tag to a big red bow using gold twisty tie.

And cut the three different printed papers to assemble the card inspired in the sketch and attached my tag using foam tape and 3D dots for the bow.

Finally, I cut the sentiment I wanted from the Christmas washi tape and added it to the right bottom part of the card.

I really like the red and green color combination and the 3D feel of this card.

Eureka Stamps Challenge #181 Tic-Tac-Toe

Eureka Stamps' Challenge theme this week is:

Tic-Tac-Toe - 
using the following board

For this challenge, I follow an sketch from Latina Crafter, and twisted to the side to match my Eureka stamp image, 25805(263) Dog in Box:

Here my final card:

I used first strait down row: Die cut (half circle cut with another scallops circle die. and the cricut negative images of DAD from a previous project), my button from Latina Crafter, and some yellow/white twine.

The papers are from CTMH from a discontinued nautical collection.

I also included some Latina Crafter die cuts for the inside (Feliz Cumpleanios).

My fathers reaction when he got his birthday card.

I hope you enjoyed my card and have a wonderful week.

Eureka Stamps Challenge #177 - Love Is In The Air/Valentine Cards

Eureka stamp Challenge theme this week is: 

Love Is In The Air/Valentine Cards

My project:

12805 Love Heart 

&

Inside  903 I Love You

For my card this week, I was inspired by several challenges online (besides ours ;-):

Share Joy Challenge 19: Sketch & Tic-Tac-Toe: hearts+ glitter+ embossing

And Latina crafter: 

Sketch # 55 + Twist de enero!!   I used the twist colors and theme.

Again for this card, I used my mini minc, still unsuccessful, but I still like the result (added shine to my letters instead of the holographic foil I was intending to do):

I used papers from CTMH, ribbon from 3- Girls Jam, Minc Foil, Heart veneers from Latina Crafter, "para ti" stamp also from Latina crafter,  Melissa Frances fine glitter, random hearts embossing machine (bought at a garage sell), and distressing tool from TH.

I added some glitter to my  veneer hearts, leaving the one of the LOVE heart without for extra interest.

In general a fun card to make for the non-cardmaker crafter.

I also got inspired by the following challenges:
