![]() Well, CAS on Friday #147 is talking my language - make a Christmas card! I looked over my Christmas sets for one I haven't used as much as others, and out jumped Beautiful Blizzard - I really haven't been giving it the attention it deserves! Especially with that gorgeous Blizzard die to go with - love that die! I combined Balmy Blue & Night of Navy today - stamped and stamped off layers of the Balmy, and all my details in Navy - love these two blues together! I finished with some pretty silver snowflakes - beautiful bright details over the blues!

![]() Oo, As You See It #190 has a WREATH challenge for us this week - yay! I can never have too many Christmas cards, lol. So, I can't believe I'm saying this, but this one was a STUMPER for me! We don't really have many options for a wreath in the right size for the sketch, I felt like, at least not in MY stash, lol, and all my efforts to MAKE wreaths out of leaves or branches were pretty sad, I have to say! I FINALLY remembered that I still have the amazing Wondrous Wreath from back in 2014 - whew!! I decided to update it a bit with our latest colors, at least, and I think it makes for a cheery wreath! Saved by the Shelves of Retirement again!

Today seems like another great day for coloring - so out came my Beautiful Baubles and my Blends Markers for a fun session, lol. I started by setting up a tone-on-tone background of the smaller baubles, then I had a time coloring in the large detailed one. I snipped it out and popped it up, added my sentiment and a cotton bow. A few sparkles later, and we are all set! I can't wait to see what YOU come up with - see you at the challenge, Fab-bers!

The very first I thought of was pulling out my beloved Gentle Peace set from back in 2014. I think it was a special holiday release when SU! first started dabbling in photopolymer. It's just so gorgeous! I knew I wanted to try coloring in the awesome central image on vellum, like a real stained-glass window! So I heat embossed the image, and did all my coloring on the back with my Blends Markers. To construct my window, I traced the wrong side of the stamp to create a slightly larger opening, and hand-cut. I tacked the vellum to the back around the edges, then pop-dotted the whole thing! I'm enchanted with how it turned out!

I'll be honest that a lot of today's inspiration is coming from my little catch-up binge on the Food Network's Christmas Cookie Challenge - after that, I couldn't wait to get upstairs and stamp me some cookies! Not sure that my icing looks as good as theirs, though, lol. At least I get to have sequins!

I think I'll use Freshly Made Sketch #365 to help me along, too! I have to admit, these colors and the inspiration pic really made me think "country Christmas," but to be honest, this time of year, pretty much everything does, lol. I decided to try out a wreath with that gorgeous 2-step petal ring in Painted Harvest, then finish with details from my beloved Christmas Pines. Worked a treat! I decided to layer my "wreath" for a little more depth, and I love my big "Noel" in the Merry Merlot - so pretty! I even had a scrap of Blushing Bride ribbon for a lovely bow! Christmas Pines & Painted Harvest Stamp Sets; Tranquil Tide DSP; Very Vanilla & Early Espresso CS; Tranquil Tide, Merry Merlot & Blushing Bride Inks; Gold Pearls; Blushing Bride Cotton Ribbon; #SSC193; #FMS365. ![]() Fusion Card Challenge has a great playful combo for us this week: a super cute sketch and this wonderful "Christmas chair!" So lovely! I hunted in vain for a pretty easy chair to use from the inspiration pic, so I settled for being inspired by the colors and the season in the sketch, lol. I was excited for another chance to pull out my season's fave Making Christmas Bright set, too - I so love these cheery little bulbs! I used the light strand to make my horizontal elements, and added a few Stitched Circles to carry my twinkly bulbs - good times!

My eye was really drawn to the upper left corner of the inspiration pic - my Grandmother was a huge poinsettia fan - all colors! She would keep them all year and force the colors herself with a mysterious and complicated lighting schedule involving her walk-in closet, lol. I've never been able to do it myself, but I can't see them and not think of her! I think she would have loved this card!

So, I actually don't use washi tape that much, but somehow, I do seem to accumulate it, lol. I went to my washi drawer and pulled out a few likely rolls: copper foil, white glitter and silver stars. Hm, seems like the makings of a fun sparkly copper card! So out came Beautiful Baubles, and we were off! I laid on a washi diagonal that had mostly copper, then poured on additional copper details. I'm actually pretty happy with this one - I don't heat-emboss that often either, lol. CASOF is just yanking me right our of my comfort zone!

I'm so excited that I have a chance to sneak in a card for What Will You Stamp #195's Dashing Deer challenge - I've missed them! I knew that today I wanted to finally ink up that big brocade deer - so pretty, and it has its very own thinlit - yes! The beautiful pattern reminds me of our awesome dist-INK-ive stamps - all that beautiful depth comes from a single stamp impression - so cool! I finished with a couple filigree pieces also in the thinlit set - so elegant...
