Countdown to Christmas #6 - Gifts

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Saturday!  I'm back with Card # 6 in my Countdown to Christmas Series, where I'm focusing on quick and easy cards that can be massed produced.

For this card, all that you need are 3 snippets of patterned paper and a bit of ribbon to create a stack of Christmas Gifts.


To start, I've embossed a panel with a snowflake embossing folder.  I have only scrap pieces left from the Carta Bella Christmas Market 6x6 paper pad so I cut 3 squares of varying sizes.  I cut thin strips to act as "lids" for the boxes (this is apparent on the bottom gift).  


I have loads of Christmas ribbon in my stash so I trimmed a piece and adhered flat, then tied a bow and adhered with a glue dot.  TIP:  I like to use Fray Check on the ends of ribbon.  This keeps it from fraying.

I had a few pieces of ephemera left from the collection so I added a banner tag.  After adhering the panel to the card base, I spritzed it with Shimmer Spray for lots of sparkly goodness.

I thought the sentiment was such a great match to the card theme.  The sentiment is from the Memory Box Yuletide Moments Stamp Set.


That's all I have for today.  Make a mental note of this design for next year, however this would also be a great Birthday card design too!  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Holiday Chaos at Bugaboo Stamps

 Hello and Happy Saturday!  Today begins a week of fun called Holiday Chaos at Bugaboo Stamps.  There will be themes and prizes each day and Grand Prize Winners at the conclusion.  Today's theme is "Reindeer Games" and for my project, I created a fun card featuring a lovely Reindeer Duo that fits the theme of today's post.


This card measures 5.5" square, the papers are from the Carta Bella "Christmas Market" 6x6 paper pad, image colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, focal panel trimmed out using the old school scissors that create decorative borders and a Sakura Glitter Pen used here and there for sparkle.  For a final touch, I added Nuvo Crystal Drops in the color Ivory Seashell to create the illusion of snow fall.  

We hope you'll visit the Bugaboo Challenge Blog  December 12th - 20th for Holiday Chaos.  There will be loads of inspiration featuring old and new digital images and loads of prizes!  See you there!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
