SSCB #25 - Shaped Card

Hi all, it's time for another challenge over at Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog! This month we would like to see your shaped cards, using your S.S stamps or dies!

I have made a Christmas card:

I have used the stamp Snowman with Birds, coloured with pencils. The sentiment 'Merry Christmas' is also from the Serendipity Stamps shop. After colouring him in, I hand trimmed and laid to one side.

I then cut my base for my shaped card, using my fave dies from Stampin' Up!

I added some background to the bases using the Small snowflake stamped in London Fog, and added some green pleated ribbon topped with a wooden snowflake and clear gem.

Here's the rest of the design team for some more shaped card inspiration:

TRR #66 - Shabby Christmas

Hi all, today brings us a new Monthly challenge from The Ribbon Reel Challenge Blog. We have swapped from a fortnightly challenge to a monthly one, to give us all a bit more time to create with the ribbons we all love!

This month, our challenge is for a Shabby Christmas, using the colours in this beautiful picture (pink and blue) and of course use some ribbon!

I have made my card using some Papermania papers, and a poinsettia die cut from Marianne designs.

The little wooden snowflake was in my stash, and from The Ribbon Reel shop I have used Pink Button Twine and Ivory Button Twine under the poinsettias, and added a Rose Petal Pink seam binding bow to the corner.

The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps, I just hand cut the little banner and curved it up as I stuck it down.

I edged all the flowers with Tea Dye distress ink and added some pink dew drops to the centres.
The ornate frame has been cut and embossed using Spellbinders. For some Christmas Sparkle, I added some glamour dust to the Poinsettia leaves.

Do stop by the rest of the Design Team for some more shabby Christmas inspiration!
