I've started my Christmas cards.

I found this blog yesterday and their challenge is making a Christmas card each week. The challenge was to use buttons. Here is my card using MFP a HC Greetings of the Season.

The other card I made today is for the Speedy TV challenge to use a border punch. I used the colors for the Splitcoaststampers CC367.

Stamps are from the new set Mothers's Magnolias.

Mondays Challenges

I have combined the Try a Technique and the CAS Challenges at Splitcoast stampers. TLC369 is to crop your image. I stamped it and colored it in then decided on what part of the image to cut out. CAS162 is a sketch to follow. You have a card to look at and follow the sketch.

Winter crocus set from Marks Finest Papers a Heinrich Company.

On Saturday I went to a stamping get together and enjoyed a demo on Cover a Card stamps from Impression Obsession. What cool stamps for background making. This is my favorite and I am going to own it. I used a sponge and my cloud maker to form the background clouds.

There also was a demo on the Postage Stamp effect. This is a real nice look and I could get really hooked on it but I must choose my battles. So instead I chose to use the templates for a shadow stamping look.

The image is from a new MFP a HC set being introduced tomorrow called Lighthouses.

Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 99-- Clean & Simple

This week our challenge is to make a Clean and Simple card. This means no frills and 1 or less layers. I used a stencil to make my background. Used 5 of the stamps from this set which will be introduced on March 22nd during our Blog Hop. This was put together in 10 minutes. Very quick and easy. Come on over and join the challenge you could win a new Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company stamp set if your card is chosen.
