Christmas approaching

Well, I know it's still almost 3 months until Christmas, but that time goes fast and I need to get started with my Christmas cards. Here's this years first:

 

These are the supplies I've used:

Paper: Bazzill Cardstock, Papirdesign "Hjertegod", Papirdesign "Julebukk", Graphic 45 "The Holly and the Ivy" and Panduro "Vintage Christmas - Faithful".

Stamps: The church is  from the set " Worship the Lord" by Our Daily Bread Designs. It was stamped with Tsukineko Versafine "Onyx black" and colored with promarkers. I've also added some white Flowersoft. Around the edges I've distressed with Ranger "Vintage Photo" distress ink. The little round stamp is called "Rund God Jul liten and is from Kreativ Hobby, and I've used another stamp from Kreativ Hobby on the inside called  "God Jul (gammel). Both were stamped with Tsukineko memento "Rich Cocoa". I've also stamped some Christmas carols from the set Julesanger by North Star Stamps, as well Heartfelt Creations' Elegant Corner. I stamped these with Ranger distress Embossing Ink, added some Ranger "Super fine detail -Gold" embossing powder and heated them up with my heatgun. 

Dies: Spellbinders Standard Circles LG, Spellbinders Labels One

 This is how it turned out on the inside.

I'm adding this card to the following challenges:
Simon Say Stamps Challenge: Used dies and/or punches.
Wee Memories: Use patterned paper.
Freshly Brewed Challenges: Use something new. (I just got the God Jul stamps and the Julesanger stamps).
Creatalicious Challenges: Anything goes.



Thanks for looking!

1 Corinthians - Love is ...

I was waiting for a reason to make a card for a wedding solely to use this stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs. Here what I came up with:

I was in a hurry to get this off, so I forgot to photograph my card until after I had already written in it and placed it on the package. Oh well, you can still see, so bear with me.


These are the supplies I've used:

Paper: Bazzill cardstock



Stamps: 1 Corinthians from Our Daily Bread Designs on the front, Corinthians 13:13 by Stampendous inside. Both stamped with Tsukineko Versafine "Onyx Black ink. The small stamps I've heat embossed inside, I sadly don't remember where came from.



Dies: Spellbinders Curved Rectangles

Punches: Martha Stewart Doily Lace Edge Punch.



Embossing folders: Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls

Embellishments: Flowers from Kort & Godt.

As always, I've found some challenges I'd like to enter:
My Time to Craft Challenge: "L is for ...." (as you probably already figured out, I chose love)
Polkadoodles: Whiteout (make a white card with only a tiny bit of color)
Stamptacular Sunday challenge: "Just Sayin.." (Sentiment/words on the front).
Creative Craft World: "New" (in my case: New Life together)
Freshly Brewed challenges: Use something new (my glitter glue from a local store is new, this is the first time I try it.)
If the Shoe Fits, Scrap it: "Bejewled Blue" (Inspired by Sapphires). What I thought is that sapphires stand out - like the blue on my card.
Ooh La La Creations Challenges: Punches/dies.


Thanks for stopping by!

More Christmas

I decided to join in on Mojo Monday 164 Challenge, where you’re supposed to use this sketch for your card:

My card is also suitable for the Flourishes Bring Back Beautiful 4 Challenge, where the requirement is to use ribbon.

Since we’re close to Christmas, I made another Christmas card:

These are the supplies I used:

Stamps: Worship the Lord from Our Daily Bread Designs, colored with Letraset Promarkers. To create the snow, I used Marvy Uchida White Liquid Applique.

Dies: Spellbinders Standard Circles LG.

Embossing Folders: Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.

Embellishments: Ribbon (from Norwegian store Nille).

Paper: Bazzill Bling String of Pearls, Inkido Sommar Text Vanilj.


I love the details on this ribbon! So perfect for this time of the year.

Thanks for looking!
