N for Noel

At ABC Christmas Challenge Blog we are up to the letter N - N for Noel
Created this card using the CB embossing folder and sanded away to make the ornaments pop. Added rhinestones for bling and a border punch at the bottom.
The Noel embossing is also from CB.

M is for Mistletoe

At ABC Christmas challenge blog - we are up to the letter M. 1/2 done. I have missed a few alphabet letters but I still have a stash left over from last year!

Since I did not have any true mistletoe stamps I resorted to the image section of Google. I added crackle medium to the background image except the actual plant. Please click the pic to see the crackle effect.

The back ground DCWV card stock is fabulous for embossing with the Cuttlebug folders. Been using the DCWV cards all day and sanding them to expose the white core.
The prize is hosted by Stamp and Create...at ABC Challenge Blog.

How many weeks till Christmas? Gotcha.... just my weekly Christmas card to be prepared as I make around 80 each year.

This card is for a few challenges:
ABC Christmas Challenge - H is for Holly
Allsorts Challenge - use stitches (I used rub ons)
CSAYL - use die cuts - the top layer and the rectangle
Crafty Catz use red green and a punch - the holly is actually a Cricut cut from A Child's Year cartridge
Quixotic Challenge - to use metal - I used the turns and and the brads from Stampin' Up hodgepodge hardware kit

Sparkle

This card was designed from the layout at One Stop Craft Challenge and the concept of decorations at ABC Christmas Challenge BLOG


Background embossed with the ornament Cuttlebug embossing folder. The border is a Martha Stewart punch and the branches with rhinestones is also a martha Stewart punch

C is for candy

Here is a Christmas card using the layout from Winter Wonderland and the idea from ABC Christmas Challenge blogs

Sentiment "to from" is from Stampin Up, the border lace punch is from Martha Stewart and the candy is from Very Merry Tags from Cricut.
There is some Martha Stewart glitter - it is hard to see.

A is for Angels

Even though I missed the A challenge at the ABC Christmas Challenge blog I still wanted to get in the mode of creating a Christmas Card every week.

The angel is cut from A Joy of The Season Cricut cart, I colored with my markers, added glitter to the wings, and inked the edges with a brown ink pad.
The background is the music folder by Cuttlebug, also inked.
The Music sheet is a printed Google image that I tea stained with Adirondack ink. I crumpled the paper to look old and put the angle on foam squares to raise it up some.

B is for Bells

At the ABC Christmas Blog.
I ran out of time for the "A for Angels" but I will still post it here later this weekend.

Hey folks join in! It'll help you get your Christmas cards done.

So - here is my B for Bells. I cut the bell from Joy of The Seasons Cricut Cartridge. Ran the bell through the Cuttlebug new folder. The sentiment is from StudioG Ribbon is from Stampin' Up
