Rustic Christmas Card & Card Challenges

I just love all things rustic. When our team lead gave us this months challenge as soon as I saw the elements I immediately thought rustic! I used Crumb Cake for the card base, I then stamped the hardwood stamp in Crumb Cake on Whisper White card stock. I then took a piece of Early Espresso  card stock and stamped the hardwood in Early Espresso also. I die cut the swirly scribble in Gold foil, the jar in Whisper White, pine cones in Dazzling Diamonds and Red glimmer paper plus in Early Espresso. I die cut some twigs and berries. The tree and deer came from our team lead. I did not have the dies but I knew I wanted them in glimmer paper so I traced them and cut them out. I cut the tree shorter so it could fit on my shelf. I pepped them up with dimensional. I then put the ribbon at the top of the wreath and finally added a piece of the new foil snowflake to the shelf. I had a lot of fun creating this card and I love BLING!

February Team Shares



 For February Michelle sent us these elements: A piece of DSP Tasty Treats (double sided), a stamped image of an ice cream cone from Cool Treats and a piece of Peekaboo Peach ruched ribbon.

The ice cream is done in Peekaboo Peach and Tangelo Twist and the cone is done in Crumb Cake. I added a Wink of Stella.

 

I used the new Carousel Birthday stamp set for the sentiments, stamped in black memento ink. The butterfly is made from the DSP. If you watched the video posted earlier you will see how to create the butterfly. It is not as hard as it looks. For the card I used Whisper White, Pear Pizzaz and Peekaboo Peach.

 This is the first card I had originally created but was not happy with it. For this card I used Old Olive and Mint Macaron. I created a shaker card and then on the inside I created a lollipop. I also used Emerald Envy ribbon and the swirly scribbles die cut image. Added a Wink of Stella and the sentiments are from the Cool Treats stamp set.

 Thanks for stopping by!
