Month long Christmas Challenge at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges

This is one of my projects for our month long Christmas Challenge at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges. 

I used an image from one of our sponsors, QKR Stampede. The image is called  Caroling Snowman .

Here is a closer look.

I used an old book cover for my base of my wall hanging and covered it with burlap that I  painted white and blue. I added strips of glittered paper for the snow on the ground, Tim Holtz pine trees that I painted with white acrylic paint.  I added my caroling snowman that I coloured with Copics and a few glitter pens. I made the hanger out of a piece of wire from a stash in my husband's shop. To complete the hanging I added a large snowflake die. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you will join in our Christmas Challenge this month at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge.  

Tag It

Tags are the theme of this week at  Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges and I have made my tag with one of our sponsor's image, Christmas Candle by Stitchy Bear. 

My background for the tag is made with a collage of Hampton Art rubber stamps, coloured with Distress Inks. I used distress inks and Copics to colour the candle and then added some pearl Ex for some shine. I added a ribbon and Peace die cut to complete the care.  Thank you for stopping by and have a very creative day.  

Gold and White for Christmas

The digital image is from Sticky Bear Digital Stamps one of the sponsors at this week's Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges.  The theme of the challenge is to create a card using only the colours of white and a colour of your choice. The name of the image that I used for the card is Christmas Sled. 

I used Spellbinders Nestabilities Label 8 to cut out my layers of while and gold.  I also used a snowflake embossing fold by Darcie on one of my white layers. I cut the Christmas sentiment out of gold and white cards stock and then layered the tow sentiments together.  The sled was coloured with Copic colours Y21, Y23, Y26, and Y28.  A gold and white bow was added to complete the card. 

I hope you'll join us for this fun challenge. Pop over to the Holly Jolly blog to see the beautiful Christmas card creations of the rest of the Design Team.   Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day. 

Christmas Pocket Card

I found this tag pocket directions on the blog of Guri and can be found here.  

I coloured my image with Copic Markers and glitter. The sentiments and snowflake stamp are from my stash of unmounted rubber stamps.  Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.  I hope you will join us this week at  Holly Jolly, just create your project and enter it here.  For inspiration check out our blog and see all of the creative ideas of the design team.  Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year. 

Christmas Elves

I am hosting the the challenge at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges this week  and I chose a Christmas Elf Challenge.  Bugaboo is the sponsor this week and I used their cute Elf Pocket for my card. 

I paper pieced my little elf,  I liked the paisley pattern paper of his pocket.   I added some glitter and bling for Christmas sparkle.
