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.

 

U and V are for...DT cards for ABC Christmas Challenge.

Welcome October and welcome to a new challenge at 

ABC Christmas Challenge.

 

Julie is our host this month and the themes are:

 

U is for Under the tree

and/or

V is for Vocabulary (use words)

 

 First out is my U for Under the tree card.

 

 Now I guess you are thinking 'Under the tree? This doesn't make sense!'

But my reasoning is; where are the gifts before they are unwrapped?

The answer- Under the tree.

The stamp and die are from Concord&9TH,

and the long sentiment from Avery Elle.

I made a red one as well.

The two of them together.

My V for Vocabulary card is quick and easy,

a die and a sentiment from Kort og Godt and 

some golden glitter paper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The prize this time is given by Julie

Frosty is cut out with the matching die and mounted on 3D to make him pop up.

Glitter added  onto his hat.

  

The next card is an I for Inside-

Santa inside a frame or decorate the inside of the card,

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

Hi and welcome to two new letters at
ABC Christmas Challenge.

Lindsey is our host in November
and her letters and themes are:

W is for Wreath!
and
X is for fauX!

Wreath! At first I was panicking! What what shall I make??

I couldn't think of any image in my crafting room

with anything like a wreath.

But Pinterest and Google are my friends,

and I found Patsy Waggoner from Stamps to Die For

and I desided to CASE her wonderful card. 

I have punched leaves in tree different green colours with a punch

 from EK and arranged them in a circle. Added a red

bow and mounted the wreath on a white square.

Behind the white cardstock there is some 

design paper from LOTV.

I love  the way this card turned out.

My X for fauX card is a card with faux stitches. The cute image is from LOTV.

and the sentiment is also from LOTV. 

Papers from Basic Grey.

A close up at the sweet girly image.
I love the non traditional colours for Christmas.

 

Patsy Waggoner made this beautiful card,
thank you for your inspiration.

Lindsey is offering this prize to two lucky winners.

So what are you wating for; make a W or X
 Christmas themed project and join in the challenge.

A and B are for.....!

Good morning & Happy New Year everyone!

welcome back to the ABC Christmas Challenge!

We have, of course, gone right back to the start of the alphabet...
and are easing you in gently with two super easy themes:

'A is for Anything Goes'

AND


'B is for Something Beginning with B'

(Just don't forget the Christmas theme!)

 As you will (hopefully!) have seen last month, we're changing things up a little this year, and will have one challenge post each month...so obviously there will be more than one letter for each challenge, but also more time for you to play along! 

You can play along with one or all of the themes for the month...combine them if you like...you can still also enter as many projects as you like each month  and combine our challenge with as many other challenges as you wish to  - we just want to help you prepare for next Christmas and have some fun (and perhaps win one of the fabulous prizes from our generous sponsors!) the way! 

 Our sponsors for this challenge are:

 Sami Stamps

Prize $12 gift card to the shop at www.samistamp.blogspot.com

AND

Wild Orchid Crafts

One lucky winner will receive a £10 gift voucher


There's also a little prize from Helen too...a couple of Docrafts Christmas stamps:

 

For my first Christmas card in 2017, I've used an image from House Mouse

combined with papers from Maja Design; with other words my cardmaking

continues in the same track as in 2016 LOL!

For the shape of the card I have used a die from Go Kreate

and distressed the edges of the paper.

The word 'Juleklem' means 'Christmas hugs', it's cut out in some glittery foam

 with a die from Kort og Godt. The flowers are a mix of brands from different shops.

The card is similar with this card from December 2016.

Caliornia Girls.

Vejret er pragtfult, heldigvis kan man godt kombinere det at lave kort med at nyde solen på terassen. Bare der ikke er for meget blæst!

Dagens kort er i glade sommerfarver. Som en af tre søstre, kender jeg mig igen i motivet :)
Så er spørgsmålet om de to andre søstre er enige i fordelingen af rollerne.


Stemplet er fra Kort og Godt. Da jeg så det for første gang på nettet startede den vilde jagt for at få fat i det. Jeg skulle bare ha det.
I dag har jeg brugt prismacolor til at farvelægge med. Jeg mærker godt at jeg ikke rigtig er vant til dem endnu. Særlig der hvor jeg kommer til små eller smalle områder får jeg problemer.

Papiret er Lime Rickey fra Basic Grey. Båndet fra Panduro og teksten fra PC.
Kortet er til min svigermor og indeholder en CD med fotos. Jo, jeg holder på at rydde i nogle "hængepartier"her før ferien.

Her er mit sædvanlige bagsidestempel, her har jeg -som på forsiden- brugt en kantpunch fra MS.
I dag har jeg ikke jobbet med en sketch. Jeg synes det er lettere om jeg har en, det gir`mig en vis tryghed.
