My mini slimline card was made to play along with three different challenges:

AAA Cards Game: #205 – Christmas + optional twist slimline

As You See It Challenge: Challenge #265 – Speedy Snowflakes

Double D Challenges: Lots of White

My mini slimline to meet the requirements of the AAA Cards should also meet the CAS requirements with the embossing and a few extra snowflakes….looks like lots of white space to me.

For the As You See It speed challenge, after deciding on a design start to finish the card was completed in 6 minutes 53 seconds.

Double D Challenges is looking for Lots of White and I think this card except for the sentiment has given me a whiteout.

The embossed panel was made with Darice embossing folder, sentiment is SSS Snowflake Season January 2020 card kit and the snowflakes die cut on white glitter paper are also from SSS amnd the Sensational Snowflakes die.

Fun card to make. Thanks for stopping in for a peek. Take card and be safe.

Today’s card is a mini slimline with a very colorful sky and actually a little stormy looking in spots; but, thankfully Santa made it through the stormy sections, over the roof tops and trees in his journey around the world to deliver presents.

Distress ink was used for my background and the stamps were both from Taylored Expressions exclusive free with purchase stamp and Santa and his reindeer were also free from TE.

This card will be included in the Peace On Earth Challenge #5, Anything Christmas with taking some inspiration from the mood board for the challenge and the bottom left depicting Santa’s ride in much calmer skies.

Normally, I am so pressed with time getting all of my Christmas cards completed and in the mail that I do not have time for gift tags. Also we don’t do a lot of presents, only for the grandchildren to open, so I was happy that I only need three tags this year. All the grandkids presents are wrapped and then placed in a larger box that is wrapped so that’s the one that will get the gift tag. I think this snowman Spellbinders die layered on a Tim Holtz Sizzix Flurry #2 snowflake die, layered on a Spellbinders circle nestability die will get attached to Brooke’s box.

This tag project will be entered into The Sisterhood of Crafters — Holiday Gift Tag challenge.

I just had to play along with the December Anything Halloween challenge with the Two Old Bats. Always a fun mood board posted for inspiration and for my card I decided to work off the 31 and the wonky cat. My background patterned paper is DCWV The Bewitched matstack and I didn’t have to look too far for a wonky cat as long as I have Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits dies. This TH set is called Toil & Trouble and really has fun die cuts. I layered kitty and offset with a white die cut to give a little dimension. My frame is a new to me Spellbinders Hemstitch Rectangle die set. No stamping needed with that awesome background.

My card for the Four Seasons Anything Goes Winter December challenge uses this interesting unbranded ornament bauble die, Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder, Stampin Up’s To You & Yours stamp set, Gina K Designs Decorative Tag Set die and I wish i could remember where the JOY sentiment is from???. I cut an additional circle out of a darker blue cardstock to back my bauble, added a little ribbon and I really like how this one turned out.

I’m using the snowy village scene on the bottom right of the mood board for my inspiration.

My card today was one of my Christmas card designs that I took inspiration from our Stamp Buddy Lisa B and decided to enter it into the Double D Christmas JOY challenge. The challenge requires that the word JOY must be on your card project. I did a wood graining technique using some white, blue and browns inks after scoring my lines then popping it up on a layering colored cardstock. The die cut the sentiment from Spellbinders and the beautiful Memory Box Drop Nativity and Gilded Drop dies layered together complete this card.

The Double D mood board is below.

Using Taylored Expressions Trendy Tree Farm background stamp, stencil and die to make today’s card and sharing it with the Double D Challenge with a theme of Trees.

This was such a fun set with which to make cards. The sentiment is also a Taylored Expressions’ Joyful Season stamp and die combo. Love the combination of stamps, dies and stencils.

The sentiment was layered on a vellum die cut circle. A few little stars for some of the trees completes this card.

Most of the leaves in our neighborhood have passed their peak and fallen to the ground. We only have leaf collection for another two weeks so hopefully they will all drop in time for those collections. There was a hint of snow this morning just enough to add a little glisten to our newly “painted” zoysia grass. LOL….our new Thanksgiving tradition will be painting the straw like zoysia grass with green lawn paint. It keeps hubby happy and that’s all that matters.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. Putting the finishing touches on my Christmas cards and hoping to mail no later than December 1st. Take card and be safe.
