Another Sketch Challenge Christmas Card

Posted on December 2, 2018December 2, 2018 by Mama

After last week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge, I decided to create an entire collection of Christmas cards using the rest of my “Tis the Season” kit by Echo Park. So when the new sketch came out this week at Freshly Made Sketches, of course I had to play along.

All the papers used on this creation are from the EP “Tis the Season” collection, including the premade graphic card. I interpreted one of the boxes from the sketch into a banner shape and slightly popped up the front card. I inked all my edges with an antique gray color and added one little accent of snowflake ribbon to polish off the whole look.

Sometime in the next several days I hope to share the entire Christmas card collection I’m working on, so I hope you will return for a look see.

Snow Day Sketch Challenge

Posted on November 26, 2018November 27, 2018 by Mama

At the last-minute (and probably because my craft room is considerably cleaner than it was this morning) I decided to play along with this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge, but I also promised to take my son to the movies on this cold snow day, so I’m going to keep this brief.

I used Echo Park’s Tis the Season collection kit to create this simple but cute card and added the wooden star and some twine to finish off the look. Of course I inked my edges as usual, and popped up the sentiment for a bit of interest. I think it’s basic but cute, and I can’t wait to send it along to someone special.

UPDATE: This card was chosen as a “Princess of Clean” at Freshly Made Sketches.

A “First Class” Christmas Card

Posted on December 14, 2015 by Mama

Oh my goodness, with all the holly and jolly of the season I completely forgot to share a bit of good news with you. I found out last week that my Christmas card submitted to the Cards in Envy Put Some Extra Layers On challenge in November won the First Class award for that week. That’s the top award for the challenge and my first from Cards in Envy. I’m so super excited about the win because I love this new paper and I was very happy with the finished product. You know, sometimes I’m just sort of “meh” about a card but show the world anyway.

You can find all the specifics about the card and see a companion piece at the original post: Cozy Lodge Christmas Cards.
