Here’s my card for this week’s challenge at Merry Monday.

The challenge:

Not your traditional Christmas colours, but I do love how the Lucky Limeade and Early Espresso colours work together. I also used one of my favourite Christmas stamp sets, Delightful Decorations. This is retiring at the end of the month but is a set that I won’t be letting go of any time soon.

Thanks for taking a look!

Here’s what I used:

Card stock/DSP: Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Candlelight Christmas DSP, Champagne Glimmer Paper

Ink: Versamark, Early Espresso Embossing Powder

Stamp Set: Snow Swirled, Delightful Decorations

Tools & Embellishments: Ornament Punch, 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch, Basic Pearl Jewels, Heat Tool, Early Espresso Taffeta Ribbon

My card today, combines this week’s challenges at Dynamic Duos and The Paper Players.

The challenges:

My card:

I combined these two challenges because I thought they would work well together and, because I can always use a little help coming up with a good masculine looking card.

I really loved the Feeling Sentimental stamp set that was part of this year’s Sale-a-Bration, so much so that it is a keeper! Doesn’t hurt that it is perfect for either masculine or feminine cards either.

I was looking through a box of all my recently created cards, and realized that I haven’t used the colour black very much, if at all. I really like the combo of Pacific Point and Basic Black and will definitely be using it again.

Thanks for taking a look!

Here’s what I used:

Card Stock: Whisper White, Pacific Point, Basic Black, Neutrals DSP Stack, Brights DSP Stack

Ink: Basic Black, Pacific Point

Stamp Sets: Feeling Sentimental, Itty Bitty Banners

Tools & Embellishments: Big Shot, Ovals Framelits, Neutrals Brads, Stampin’ Dimensionals

It’s a holiday Monday here in Ottawa and since the kids are off on a playdate, I thought I would take the opportunity to create a card for this week’s challenge at Sunday Stamps.

The challenge:

My card:

I love, love, love the colours Hayley chose for this week’s challenge! So bright and cheery, particularly on this dull and dreary day.

I pulled out the Betsy’s Blossoms stamp set and created my own DSP for the background and then just added a few embellishments here and there, to complete the look I wanted. I always associate Victoria Day weekend with planting in the garden and fireworks and this incorporates both!

Thanks for taking a look!

Card Stock: Lucky Limeade, Whisper White

Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Lucky Limeade, Daffodil Delight

Stamp Sets: Betsy’s Blossoms, Vintage Verses

Tools & Embellishments: Big Shot, Beautiful Wings Embosslits, Boho Blossoms Punch, Basic Rhinestone Jewels, Daffodil Delight Seam Binding, Stampin’ Dimensionals
