Metallic Christmas

Color Dare #222 on the Color My Heart Color Dare blog this week is a nice combo to create with as it is simply neutral (black, white, colonial white) combined with any of the CTMH Metallics (Gold, Silver, Rose Gold)

After adhering the three different colors of Foil Tape to a piece of white cardstock, a tree shape from the Cozy Christmas Thin Cuts was used to cut the metallic tree.  Other patterned paper included on the card is from the Uptown Fundamentals which includes several papers with a metallic pattern.  The nice sentiment is included with the Cozy Christmas stamp set.  The stamp/Thin Cuts set also includes shapes for a snowman and snowman accessories, so you can create your own adorable snowman. 

Inspiration for the card design is Pattern #25 in the Make It From Your Heart, Volume 1 "how to" book.

Jeepers Creepers - 2 Months 'til Christmas!

Final theme for the month on the Heart 2 Heart Challenges blog is Jeepers Creepers.  

Love the purple and green combo using papers and colors from the Jeepers Creepers kit for a Holiday card.  The trees were created using the die cuts and stamps from the Cozy Christmas Thin Cuts bundle; Emerald ink and Sea Glass cardstock, and a gold-embossed star for the top.  And the sentiment is included with the Very Merry stamp set.

A Snowman For the Holidays

Inspired by the black & white of Color My Heart Color Dare #214, the Thistle and Pear were perfect for a 'pop' of color with the snowman.  The pieces of the snowman were cut using the adorable Cozy Christmas Thin Cuts die cuts and then stamped using the coordinating stamp set.  This is a really fun set to create with, and is available in the CTMH Holiday Expressions collection through the end of this year.

Using the Thin Cuts dies, the hat and scarf were cut using some patterned papers from the Penelope kit.  For the background, a great black & white paper from the Uptown Fundamentals reminds me of falling snow.  The simple card design is FMS #214 at Freshly Made Sketches, which is one of my favorite sketch blogs.
