Try it on Tuesday - Santa Claus is coming to Town

 

This is one of my favorite of my Santa stamps that came from Rubber Stampede that I have had for years. Today I used it on a stenciled background blended with distress oxide fired brick ink. I mounted the Santa on two different design papers for a mat. I punched bows with a Martha Stewart punch out of the red design paper print. The gold foil paper I cut using a die cut for the sentiment. (Not sure of the source of tat die.) I used alcohol marker to color Santa. The card base is red cardstock. 

I am entering this card in this week's Try it on Tuesday challenge and you can find the details and link here: https://tuesdaytaggers.blogspot.com/2024/12/santa-claus-is-coming-to-town.html

This is a simple CAS card made with white papers. The snowbank is torn white paper. The snowman is an old retired Stampin' Up stamp. I blended a little light gray distress oxide into on the the snow bank edge and the snow. I used blue distress oxide ink for the sky. The stamp was stamped with versafine clair black and colored with alcohol markers. The sentiment is from Sweet and Sassy stamps.

As You Like It - gold

I designed this card for the As You like it challenge this week, because I like gold. I think gold and white have such an elegant look as a color combo. This is a Spellbinder die set mounted on a white with gold dotted paper. The card base is kraft.

On a white cardbase I used yellow distress oxide ink to stencil the background. Then I blended the ink on a smaller white square and added the small nativity silhouette die. I used my sister's die and I did not write down the source. 

Allsorts challenge - Ribbon or twine 808

Finding these lovely  scraps left from some Christmas projects I had been making, I used them to design this card and wanted to use this linen ribbon I found in my stash. This was my latest bargain from Impression Obsessions--this deer snow globe. I am sure going to miss Impression Obsessions. Loved their dies and stamps. The tan bow I made with a Martha Stewart punch. I added some gemstones to the glittered snowflakes on the ribbon. The theme for this week's All Sorts challenge was ribbon or twine. You can find the details for that challenge here:

The ribbon is from Celebrate It from Michael's. 

I am also using this card for the Christmas Throwdown November Stash challenge:
