This card was created for a wonderful annual event
at Beccy’s Place named the Month of Holiday Cards Challenge (not just Christmas
cards, you can make cards for ANY holiday.) This is my third year of
participating, and I’m honored to now be a member of Beccy’s DT (called a
Contributor!) and am blessed to have a large collection of Beccy’s amazing
artwork!
The 8th annual Challenge goes on all month, with drawings for daily challenges, for posting comments and even random entry numbers! Stop in HERE to learn more. Most of the challenges follow an A-Z theme… with a few other topics thrown in to cover all 31 days of November. This card is for the letter “N” as in Naughty List. I had fun creating this card that uses a digi from one of my newest Beccy’s Place sets and a free “certificate” that I found on the web. Not sure who will receive this card, but I have five siblings, and lots of childhood stories about naughtiness (jokes, pranks, etc.) so know several likely candidates!
I’m entering this card into several challenges including the Day of the Month Challenge- #21 Make Your Own Head Day (an actual holiday where schools challenge students to “Just use your brain and make anything you want!” For this card I did use my brain and came up with a way to use a digi image that is not typical for a Christmas card. Ogre anyone?!) and Christmas Crafts All Year Round- Family & Friends (as noted above, my sibs and I deserved coal many years!)

This happy elf
is the Stamper’s Delights November Progressive Challenge freebie on FB. The base of my card, with the circle cutout and inside
sentiment “Joy” is from a boxed set that I found at an after Christmas sale
last year. The cutout provided the perfect frame for the dancing elf. I colored
the elf, then covered the underside of the image with clear packing tape. I
fussy-cut the image, then used a permanent black Sharpie maker to color the
backside. (The packing tape keeps the color from leaking through!) I sandwiched
the little guy between squares of clear acetate and blue plastic document
folder*. I taped these to the underside of the card front, then attached
another one of the card fronts from the boxed set to seal the ornament inside. (*Note- Plastic document
folders come in a pack of assorted colors and can be found in the office supply
section of most stores and from some dollar stores! I really like using them on
my cards because they're cheaper than colored vellum and are more
translucent. You can write on them with
a fine-line permanent marker or white gel pen. The plastic is also easy to
fussy-cut with a nice, sharp pair of scissors. And then can be adhered to a card
with small strips of double-stick tape.) A few snowflake stickers help finish
the fun card!

Fabulous image for our theme this week, love your choice of colouring and your layout and design. Thanks for joining us at TPS, good luck with the challenge. hugs Shirleyxxxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy your cards are gorgeous. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteLovely cards. The first one is so fun and creative. I love the inside sentiment too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card Kathy! I have three fun-loving siblings and could definitely imagine sending a card like this to one (or all) of them! They'd get quite a laugh from it too.
ReplyDeleteYour Thanksgiving card is fantastic, what a great image and you've done a wonderful job with the colouring. You always do a great job decorating the inside of your card as well Kathy, very nice.
Your final card is very sweet. I like the bauble "window" with the cute little Christmas elf... so sweet.
Cheers,
Beccy
I loved your ogre card! What a fun spin on Christmas. I'm sure I deserved that piece of coal a number of years while growing up. Thanks so much for joining in on our latest challenge at Let's Craft and Create. Cheryl W, DT
ReplyDeleteAdorable. That little dancing elf is the perfect ornament. Thanks for joining us at Besties International challenge this month.
