Another Cutie for the Kerst Christmas Challenge

It's always exciting at the Kerst Christmas Challenge.  Meet Heavenly Christmas Carol from our sponsor, The Paper Shelter.  Isn't she a cutie?

Angels always come to mind when I hear "O, Holy Night."

Heavenly Christmas Carol is colored digitally.  LOVE her!

Here are links to products I used to create this card.

With Fairy Backgrounds as my background and the mix of colors with the angel, there was already a lot going on.  However, I couldn't resist adding some musical notes from a retired paper collection.  I layered the angel - then called it done.

Remember to visit the Kerst Challenge to see fabulous inspiration by the design team.

O Holy Night

It's the first day of the Ecal Users Group Tag Challenge, and I'm actually not working at the last minute.  I created a tag cut from Enamel Gold (Nothing but Freebies).  I used Print 2 Cut for the Nativity Scene with Santa Claus (Creative Fabrica), and a sentiment from 'Tis the Season (We Are 3). 

Here Come the Holidays!

Are you ready?  I'm getting there....got a good start on my Christmas cards.  The holidays will be here before we know it - hopefully having a start on my Christmas cards will reduce the stress I always feel.   

I changed the color of the poinsettia digis to gold.  The sentiment is a digital from We Are 3 ('Tis the Season).

The design is inspired by Desiree Kuemmerle (with a few tweaks) and the Card Maker Success Summit.

Winter at We Are 3

Yikes!  Thinking about making Christmas cards.  This must be a record!  We Are 3 has new papers and printables just for that occasion - Winter.  Yes....I have become used to making Christmas cards in temps in the 90s, but with fun printables in the Winter set are cooool!

Gotta say, these gorgeous printables, Winter, are cheerful.  They cut beautifully in my Eclips.  Thought they are perfect for making beautiful Christmas cards.  Finally, I added a poinsettia to add a little more holiday.  Please be sure to visit We Are 3's Facebook page to be totally inspired.

Fairy Holiday and 'Tis the Season

I received this new die for Christmas, and I just had to make a card immediately.  I really, really, REALLY love poinsettias. I'm kind of loving how it came out.  

 

Christmas Tags - Day 2

Isn't this sky background just gorgeous?  I've set some Christmas favorites on a tag of clouds created using Magical Scenes - cut in a scallop-shaped tag.  On some I added sentiments from the Tis the Season set.  I think they'd be perfect for any holiday package, don't you?

             

We Are 3 Christmas Papers and Creative Confetti Challenge

When I saw Power Poppy's Poinsettia, I rushed right to my cart to snag it up - and went to work coloring. I oversized it for my images. I used a pop-up element for the inside.

 

I love my color on this beautiful poinsettia.  The Poinsettia is from Power Poppy.  I'm really proud of my coloring on this image - here's a close up.

Here you can see the pop-up element.  The sentiments are from We Are 3's 'Tis the Season and From All of Us collections...papers are We Are 3's Winter Plaid and Holiday Letters.  This card was inspired by this week's Creative Confetti Challenge at Power Poppy - Mad About Plaid.
