Today I'm squeezing a couple of cards in under the wire at some challenges.
My first card is for Just Add Ink # 284 - Fancy Fold. I made a side step folded card and added paper to each section. Once again, I used a Tim Holtz Crazy Bird and adorned him with the Santa hat from Tim Holtz Crazy Things. Both the bird and hat were watercolored and I added glitter to the hat. The tiny sentiment stamp is from AMuse Studio. Buttons and twine embellish the third section.
My second card is for Tag You're It Challenge # 32. The inspiration is this tag created by Kelly Szafron -
I was inspired to use the same shape tag as Kelly did with ribbon and a single image. My tag is the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Duo 1 die cut tag. The holly is Penny Black Holly Berries die and the poinsettia is SSS Poinsettia Parade die. Some pearls were added to the die cuts, as well as a piece of ribbon that was attached with the Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher. I embossed the card base with a dot embossing folder and added my tag with foam.
I am also adding this card into the Happy Little Stampers October Christmas Challenge - Poinsettia.
Now I have a couple more Christmas cards to add to my stash. Have you started yours yet? Have a great week. Enjoy!
