Merry Christmas



I've been sitting on a bit of happy news for a while and can finally spill the beans! I'm excited to share that I'm now designing for the CAS Christmas Card Challenge ~ insert cartwheel... like I could really do one!! They've been on hiatus, but are back with loads of new challenges and heaps of inspiration.

Lets get to it!

 


We're kicking things off with wreaths. 

It just so happens I picked up a PTI set during a sale that worked perfectly!



The set is called Joyous Holiday. I die cut a few wreath parts using a polka dot kraft paper. Next I layered on a few sprigs and golden stars. My hand cut sign was stamped with a woodgrained image (POD) before adding the die cut sentiment.  I popped this onto a 4 1/4' x 4 1/4" base that was dry embossed with a snowfall folder (SG). Looks like polka dots to me ~ win, win!

 

Okay, your turn. Here's a little refresher for you! 


 

Lets go see what the team has to share!

Welcome to CAS Christmas DT, Lisa! I'm so happy to be on the same team with you. Your polka dot kraft wreath is so pretty, and I love your lovely woodgrain stamped sign! The snowfall texture in the background beautifully echoes the polka dots (and vice versa).

Welcome to our CAS Christmas team, Lisa - so glad to have you join us! What a great first card for us! It's perfectly CAS but with the texture of the embossing folder to add interest to the background. You used a fabulous wreath die - looks great in that polka dot paper. And I love the way you did the sentiment!
