O Christmas Tree

I have realized challenges are one of the ways for me to get projects done. Here are few cards that I made for challenge #32 'GAME SET MATCH' for A blog named Hero. This is my first entry for this blog. Thanks for the inspiration.

Christmas tree is made using the paper folding technique - Cut a circle in half and then add 3 folds. And voila - there is the tree. I added glitter at the ends to add interest. Layered the tree on an embossed snowflake panel with dimensionals.

Here is a close up -

These will also be my project cards for a swap that I am participating. Yay!

I am also entering this for the

- Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything goes.
- Art Impressions blog - Challenge #119 Anything goes.
- Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra - Anything goes.

This week is my first to join the dynamic duos challenge. Here is the color palette - Crumb Cake and Basic Black with Wet Embossing as the 'Dessert Option'.

Here is my card

Layered Kraft cardstock on black cardstock. Added some dots with glossy accents to give dew drop effect. Not sure if I would do this again. (Still debating). Image is wet embossed with black detail EP using SU pocket silhouette set. Placed it on black cardstock and punched the bottom border. Sentiment is stamped with SU ink and added bow using regular embroidery thread. I am out of natural twine.


A little closer look.

Here is a close up of my center.

Sparkle Snowflake

I am so glad to be able to play again with my inks and stamps. I am jumping ahead and making some Christmas cards for this challenge. Here is the color palette

Colors: Azure Blue, Gray, Cherry Red

And here is my card 

And here is a close up (my photography needs training)

Punched out the snowflake from 2 shades of grey cardstock. Glued it together and added stickles. Punched out cirlces from red and blue xmas paper and randomly glued them. Added gemstone for added fun. Added double score lines around the 2.25" square. Sentiment is from PTI stamps.

Time to finish - 9mins and 10 sec

Weather is cooling here in West TX. Love this weather and my tea. Time to bring out the warm clothes.

Thanks for looking. Leave a note if you get a chance.
