W and X are for....DT cards for ABC Christmas Challenge

It's november and time to two new letters at 

ABC Christmas Challenge.

 

Lynda is our host this month, and the letters-and themes- are:

 

W is for WHIMSICAL

and/or

X is for XEROX 

 

 

First out is my W for Whimsical.

 

For this cute Christmas card I've used an old image

from Whipper Snapper called Gingerbread House.

I must admit that it is the first time I've used it-

shame on me!

 

 

The papers are from Wild Rose Studio, the sentiment from LOTV

and the embossing folder from Cuttlebug.

 

The next cards are the X for Xerox,

Four of them.

 

I wanted to make four cards like this, but the die was 

really tricky and I had to run it through the cutter several

times to make all the pine twigs (is this the right word?)

 

 

So I decided to make two pine cards and two

with snowflakes.


 

But all of them with the same embossed tekst 

saying 'Happy Christmas'

 

 

Four more cards for mi Christmas card pile, well

five with the Whipper Snapper one.

 

 

 
The prize this time is given by Lynda.

 

HMFMC Mid Way Reminder #346 Anything Goes option Spots/Dots.

Today I'm here with a reminder to join in our challenge at

House Mouse & Friends.

This time Mia is our host and the theme is:

ANYTHING GOES

with the option of

DOTS or SPOTS

 

 

 

I have used a new image called 'Dream Flower'.

The papers are from 'Wild Rose Studio'

The text is made with a dymo labelwriter.

C and D are for...DT cards for ABC Christmas Challenge.

It's time for some new letters at ABC Christmas Challenge.

Wilma is our host in February and the themes are:

C for 'CLEAN'

and

D for 'DISTRESS '

 I made a card for each of the themes....for my C for Clean card

I've used a Gruffie Bear form House Mouse Design.

 

The image is called 'To Ski or Not to Ski'.

The two banners are cut out in scrap paper from Maja Design.

I was tempted to stamp a sentiment in the

 left upper corner- but I did not do it as you can see....

For my D for Distress card

I used an old friend of mine.

A super cute snowman image from LOTV 

called 'Seeds and Greetings'.

The papers are from Wild Rose Studio; beautiful papers

with some lovely soft colours. All edges are distressed.

 The ribbon- from IKEA- is recycled from last years Christmas gifts. 

 

For the 'D for Distress' card I've used this sketch from

Tuesday Morning Sketches.
