Always Christmas!

It's the second Wednesday of the month and that means it's time for a new challenge at Christmas at Sweet Stampin'.  The challenge again this month is ANYTHING GOES WITH CHRISTMAS. I used this older rubber stamp by Bildmalarna for my card. I am a die hard rubber stamper and have hundreds of stamps which some have never been inked!  My goal is to make a card with each of them in my lifetime. At the rate I'm going, I'll be around until I'm just over 150 years old.


I colored her with Copics and used a Martha Stewart border punch and I added some pretty red metallic dots on the green lace. The pretty oval die cut around my image is by Joy Crafts with some gold glitter added to the embossed areas.  My sentiment is by Stampin' Up. I love this shabby white embossing powder by Stampendous.


The team at Christmas at Sweet Stampin' have made some beautiful projects to inspire you to join us. And, since it is already March, joining this challenge will give you a head start on those Christmas cards you're going to need in 9 months!

  3. Only NINE months until we're scrabbling around to find enough Christmas cards to mail off again -- whoa, it'll be here before we know it!! You've gotten a kick start to your 2017 supply, though, girlfriend -- how excellent is that. This Bildy image is adorable and so well colored. Love the embossing powder you've used, as well as the gold added to your filigree frame. And, of course, the bow speaks of elegance itself -- love the frilliness to it, as well as your perfection of tying it. Pretty background paper with those little birds. This certainly looks like a multiple challenge winner to me -- good luck !! And, added luck on reaching your goal of using all your images - you must be aiming for that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow . . .LOL.
