I'm an old traditionalist at heart and like nothing better at Christmas than red. It's actually one of my favourite colours anyway, that and green and I have a lot of red in my house. The challenge over at As You See It is red but with a twist - a card done in less than 10 minutes.
Even though my card has heat embossing and cold embossing I still managed to get it done under the 10 minutes.
This Santa Collage stamp is one of my all time favourite stamps at this time of the year. He's been embossed with red embossing powder. The holly embossing folder is an retired SU one. The sentiment is from Inkadinkado and is also an old stamp.
Sparkles Christmas Card Challenge #95 is also asking for embossing.
My card today mixed something old with something new. My favourite all time Christmas stamp is this lovely old image of Santa called Santa Collage from Rubber Stampede - I've had it for over 15 years and I'm always looking for new ways of adding him to a Christmas card.
I've combined it here with some of the new papers from Kaisercraft Wonderland set. I love the colours in these papers - which is unusual for me as I'm normally a traditional red/green girl but the blues are lovely. I've used some SU Crumb Cake for the base and for the Santa. He was stamped with Versamark and I used some silver embossing powder. Rounded the edges and added some Crumb Cake ink to the card and the base to distress it a little.
The papers are from Kaisercraft and I just adore those little reindeers! I aded a Die Cut of a reindeer in silver paper and tucked it beneath the Santa. The snowflakes inked in Crumb Cake are from SU Colourful Seasons. The sentiment is from the Kaisercraft Wonderland pack.
I love how this card turned out. I'm going to add it to the following Challenges
Watercooler Wednesday - Holidays
Cards In Envy - Favourite Holiday Card
Sparkles Christmas Challenge - For the kid in all of us!
I am the owner of the very popular Joy of Sets Facebook group - it started out as a group purely for Stampin Up sets both current and retired. It has now grown into a group which celebrates all makes of stamp sets and is a great resource for ideas thanks to all the very generous members who share their creations. If you are on Facebook and want to join in with us click on the link above or on the image.
This is our first Blog Hop and we thought what better idea than to use Christmas to get us all in the Festive Spirit.
In the spirit of the Joy of Sets I have used a retired Stampin Up Set and a Non Stampin up Image that often gets used by me and I think a lot of others around this time of the year.
My SU set is Winter Post - I have had this set many years and have made lots of Christmas cards from it. I do like Reindeer on cards too which helps but I love the nostalgic feel to this stamp set. Here I've used it with Rubber Stampede's popular Santa Collage stamp. Such a fabulous image of Santa - here simply inked and coloured in and a touch of sparkle on the snowflakes.
Do pop along the hop and see what other goodies the FaceBook members have for your Christmas inspiration.
I'd like to wish you and yours a very Blessed Yule and a Merry Christmas.
Something a little different from me to day - some Christmas tags rather than Christmas cards. My inspiration came from Stamping Sensations challenge blog which wanted single layer stamping so I thought I would make a start on some tags.
I've used the very popular Santa Collage stamp by Rubber Stampede - a firm favourite for me for Christmas. I've paired him up with a Reindeer stamp and used lots of Tim Holtz distress inks on them.
