Cozy Christmas

Hi!  Today I'm sharing with you a card I made for the November color challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.  The colors to use are purple and green, which I LOVE together!  In fact, my living room is purple and green:

The picture is a little dark but you get the idea.  So with that in mind, here is the card I put together:

What do you think?  A bit unconventional, but kinda fun!  Also linking this with Word Art Wednesday's challenge #209 "Anything Goes".

Supplies:
Cardstock, baker's twine, inks and pearls:  Stampin' Up!
Dies and stamps:  My Favorite Things

Thanks so much for visiting, and have a wonderful day!

Merry!

Greetings!!  I hope you had a good weekend!  I'm happy because I was able to get a lot of crafting done.  I purchased a half-sized folding table at Costco and set it up in front of the T.V. so I could watch football and work on my Christmas cards at the same time.  Score!  

Anyway, this card I'm posting today is for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.  I love that if you participate in each challenge all year, you'll have 52 cards ready to send come Christmastime!  This week they have a sketch challenge, so this is what I did:

This is the sketch:

Here's the supplies I used:

Word die:  Reverse Confetti

Ribbon, cardstock, embossing folder, stamp, tree die, stickles, ink:  Stampin' Up!

Gift tag die:  My Favorite Things

Designer paper:  The Story of Christmas, by Echo Park

Hope you're inspired to get going on your own cards!!

Thanks so much for visiting, and have a wonderful day,

52CCT - February Stash Challenge / Markers

Greetings,

I haven't played along in 52 Christmas Card Throwdown for awhile, and I had some time so thought I'd participate in this week's challenge, which is using markers.  Now you know I'm not too good at coloring so don't laugh!!  But here's my submission:

All products (except the spotted background paper), is from Stampin' Up!  I have no clue where I got that background paper!

Thanks for clicking by, and hope you have some time to create this weekend!

Best,
Denise
