Christmas Card 2024-Nov-12

 Hello there,

Every once in a while I like to use non Christmas image to create Christmas card.  Like this one I've made today.  

I colored the coloring card that comes in with my Altenew Happy Mail, trimmed, and mount on white panel.  I wrapped Altenew Antique Gold Metallic thread several times on the side and secured, glue three Altenew Antique Gold sequins for embellishment.  Then the whole panel is adhered to the dry embossed background.

I may not have an sentiment on the outside of the card, but I think the color scheme suggest that it is a Christmas card.  What do you think?

This is how the coloring card looks like before I trimmed it out.

Challenge:

Altenew 2024 November Inspiration Challenge

Supplies:

Altenew Festive Greenery 3D Embossing Folder

Altenew Antique Gold Metallic Thread

Altenew Antique Gold Sequins

Alcohol Markers

White Gel Pen

That's it for this post, bye for now.

Creations Scrapbook Centrale Creative Team Project 2024-Nov-12

 Hello,

I am back sharing a series of cards made with the challenge theme of: Hobbies for Creations Scrapbook Centrale fb group page.

One of my new found hobbies is Cross Stitch.  Okay I admit, I don't really do it for any other reason, except for card making and scrapbooking.  LOL

I used Lawn Fawn Embroidery Hood Die Set.  The Cozy Cocoa pattern I downloaded from Lawn Fawn Embroidery Hoop Pattern page.  The snowflake pattern I created myself.

The two sentiment heat embossed in white is from Hero Arts Coffee Cup Tag Stamp Set, and Hero Arts Color Layering Nordic Trees Stamp Set.

Background pattern paper and stitched label die both from Lawn Fawn.

Apart from stamps and die used shown in photos below, other supplies not photographed are: Versamark Watermark Ink, White Embossing Powder, embroidery floss, and sequins.

 

Thanks for visiting me today.  Have a sweet day!

Creations Scrapbook Centrale Creative Team project 2024-Nov-02

 Hi,

It's time for me to share my Creations Scrapbook Centrale fb group page project.  Like most months of this year, I share my planner page as the first project of each month for this group.  Our challenge theme for November is: Hobbies, option of color: Ping/Grey.

This page came together easily, the beautiful Graphic 45 pattern paper Let's Get Artsy did it all!

I hand cut three brushes from a sheet of Alexandra Renke design paper, colored the brush tips with alcohol markers, and add them next to the calendar elements. The butterflies and sentiment are all hand cut from the Let's Get Artsy paper pack.

I also stamped the large butterfly in grey to distress the calendar element.

Thanks for coming over to my blog.  Have a sweet day!
