Workshop cards

Here are cards 3, 4 & 5 from this weekend's workshop... The ladies made 2 of each (including the 2 I posted last week).  There is a little trail of sparkles under the feet of the reindeer to look like snow, and I added a bit of bling to the snowflakes as well.  We had a little ink oops on the circle card sample at the workshop (so just ignore that!).

Reindeer card: Patterned papers are Mistletoe; Stamp set is Nature's Gift; Ink is Chocolate; Cardstock is Colonial White & Chocolate; Striped ribbon, hemp & button - all supplies are CTMH.

Nature's Gift

I loved this stamp set as soon as I saw it, so I hope to make a few more Christmas cards with it before the season is over.  This is a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" version of a card I made a few weeks ago as a square card for the Heart2Heart Challenge blog.  I wanted a simpler version to sell at my craft show, without the pleated ribbon:

Patterned paper is Mistletoe; Cardstock is Colonial White & Cocoa; Stamp set is Nature's Gift; Inks are Garden Green & Desert Sand; Ribbon is Creative Basics, Mistletoe - all CTMH.  Nestabilities circles; Martha Stewart punch.

Mojo Monday! & Heart2Heart Challenge

I could hardly wait for the challenge sites to be up this morning!  I got right down to business with the Mojo Monday Challenge #157... pulled out the new Christmas papers and started creating:

Ribbon is Michael's; Patterned Papers are Mistletoe; Cardstock is Cocoa & Colonial White; Inks are Garden Green, New England Ivy & Cocoa; Stamp sets are Holiday Trinkets & Festive Thoughts - all CTMH.  Martha Stewart punch.

And for this week's H2H Challenge we also had a sketch!  I'm especially proud of the little scalloped circle behind the deer, I used a 'straight-line' scallop, and curved it around on my block to create the circle shape.  The card is 5 1/2" square:

All supplies are CTMH: Patterned paper is Mistletoe; Cardstock is Cocoa & Colonial White; Stamp sets are Nature's Gift & A Little Everything; Inks are Cocoa & Garden Green; Ribbon is Creative Basics, Mistletoe; Metal tag is Connections Club; Nature's Ambiance rub ons.
