Christmas thank you - C4G #242

 Happy Thursday to you!  It's time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme is "anything but square."  That means just what it says. :)  You can create a card in any other shape you'd like.  Here's my mitten...

 

I cut a Kraft top fold card with Papertrey Ink Mitten die.  I then cut a piece of Scrapbook Customs Christmas Watercolor paper with the same die and ran it through Sizzix Eileen Hall Sweater EF.  I added a Spellbinders Snowflake and a strip of crimped Kraft.  My sentiment is Clear Dollar Tabs & Tags and is cut out with a Simon Says Stamp Tiny Tag.  I cut the green with MS Branch punch, tied a bow of baker's twine, and added a few red dots.  

Think of a fun shape and come play along at Cardz 4 Galz!  

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

 Welcome back to our first Cardz 4 Galz challenge of 2025!  Our theme is "use stencils."  I've always admired how I see other crafters use stencils but was never overly pleased with my cards... but I really like this one!

I used The Craft Workshop Mini Music Sheet first, then Altenew Sweet Spring over it.  My sentiment is Sweet n Sassy Script Sentiments.  A few enamel dots finished it off. 

Maybe you got some crafting goodies for Christmas, so get them out and play along with us at Cardz 4 Galz!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day! 

You warm my heart - SCC #168

Happy New Year to you!!  Wishing you all a wonderful and blessed 2025! 

New year, new month, and new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge.  I know... Christmas was just last week!  But if you sent all your cards, you need to start working on new ones. :)   Our theme is "warm and cozy."

I embossed the front of an A2 card with Sizzix Eileen Hull Sweater.  My mitten is Papertrey Ink Mitten Die cut from Carta Bella A Wonderful Christmas.  I always cut an extra strip and crimp it for the band at the wrist.  My leaves are Poppystamps Delicate Poinsettia.  My sentiment is Technique Tuesday Hello Winter Sweater that I cut (and matted it) with Die-versions Stitched Circles. I added a double bow of baker's twine behind it.  

I hope you come play along at Sparkles Christmas Challenge! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
