CAS Christmas Card Challenge Kraft, Red & White

I am playing in the CAS Christmas Card Challenge using Kraft, Red and White colors and hosted by the very talented Loll.

Be sure and check out the beautiful creative cards by the DT and GD.

The team is celebrating the CAS Christmas Challenge's 3rd Birthday too😊

And there are prizes if you follow the rules😀

I do love Kraft, Red and White colors for Christmas.  Enjoy!

I cut a piece of Strathmore Mixed Media Tan paper 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" then  stamped the Colorado Craft Co. "Big and Bold Slimline Poinsettias" with Versafine Black ink using MISTI.  Heat embossed images with SU Clear EB powder.  

I did stamp the images off the edge and did not color for a more CAS design.  Stamped the greetings from the same set with Versa Magic Cloud White ink and heat embossed with Wow White EB powder.

Next sponged edge with DOX Candied Apple using i-Crafter i-Brush.  Layered main image over SU Whisper White 100# cardstock and attached to "4 x 9" Slimline card base.  Added Nuvo Crystal Drops White Blizzard to the center of each flower for a pretty glittery shine and Done!

Sharing photo of the the shine from the heat embossing and Crystal Drops.

Darn,  I had to order a brand new to me Colorado Crafts Company "Christmas Presents" set....that I already had my eye on.  Such a cute set😊

I smiled all the time I was creating my card😊 Enjoy...

I stamped the dog and Christmas gifts image (one stamp) with Versafine black ink onto Strathmore Mixed Media paper using MISTI.  Then heat embossed with SU clear EB powder.

Next watercolored with Zigs markers.  Then placed the image back in MISTI and stamped the sentiment from the same set and heat embossed.

Then die-cut the frame with Spellbinders Hemstitch Rectangle die.  Popped up the image with white craft foam and attached to SU Whisper White 100# card base and Done!   Thank you Susan for a fun and easy CAS Christmas Challenge😊

CAS Mixed Media Splatters Reminder

Already time for our CAS Mix Up January Splatters Reminder Cards!

Be sure and check out all the awesome samples by our DT.

Thank you Hilary for an awesome Challenge.  I finally feel comfortable using splatters:-)  I used a Posca Black acrylic pen for my splatters!

Used Acrylic Splatters, Heat Embossing, Coloring and Die Cut.

I began by placing Strathmore Mixed Media Tan paper in MISTI then stamped part of the upper poinsettia from the Colorado Craft Company " Big and Bold Slimline Poinsettia" set. with VersaFine Black ink. Then heat embossed with SU Clear EB Powder.

  Next die cut with Memory Box Circle Stitched  Dies.  Then colored the flower with a dark green Zig pen and SU Real Red Blender Pen.  Used Kuretake  metallic gold WC paint to color the center of flower.  When dry added Wink of Stella over the entire image.  So Shiny and pretty.

Next splattered the card base with Posca Acrylic Pen using my bone folder to tap the end of the pen to make the splatters.  Worked great!  Added a few larger dots with the pen.

Then placed in MISTI to stamp SU Happiest Birthday Wishes sentiment (ret) with Versafine black ink and heat emboss with clear EB powder.

Attached flower image to craft foam and attached to card base and Done!

Sharing Close Up Photo.  So pretty with all the shine!

I was so pleased with how my card turned out.

Stamping, Splatters and Heat Embossing.

I have been playing with a new to me product, Big Bold "Wishes Snowflake" stamp set from Colorado Craft Company.

I used my EB Buddy on the Strathmore Mixed Media Paper.  Then began by stamping off the edge of the large snowflake with Versamark Ink using MISTI. Heat embossed "Wow" Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder.

Then the fun splattering began using  Posca acrylic white pen.  I used my bone folder to tap the pen to make the splatters.  I used the brush end of the pen to make some of the splatters larger to give a snowy affect.

When dry used i-Crafter Blended Brushes,  which are like finger daubers,  but with a brush end.  They come 10 in a package and I think will last a life time.  So easy to use to sponge the edge of my image using Distress Oxide Vintage Photo ink and you do not need to press hard.

Next heat embossed with the "Wow" EB powder the sentiment from the same stamp set and attached to SU cardstock and trimmed.  Then layered onto SU Cherry Cobbler card stock.  Added SU Candy Dot and Done!

****************

Sharing a 2nd not as CAS card using the same Wishes Snowflake stamp.

I used the same techniques and supplies,  but did not trim down the card front.

Loved both cards and the color combo.  

We would love to have you join our 1st 2021 CAS Mix Media Splatters Challenge.

Wishing you all a safe and creative New Year.  Love and Hugs..
