CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for April - Mid-Month Inspiration.

Ohhh! I'm SO sorry to be so late with my mid-month post for CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for April but I really couldn't do this before.

 

Anyway, here I am with my inspiration:

 

 

I chose Merry Christmas to Ewe digi stamp from Bugaboo.

While planning my card I had two options and, since I couldn't choose my fav one, I decided to make two cards!

 

This is the light blue version:

 

Images are colored with Copics and glitter and are mounted on cardstock die cuts from a magazine. Sentiments are from the same magazine.

 

I LOVE this sheep!

 

Don't forget to have a look at all the other cards made by the DT, you can find them here!

 

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

ABC Christmas Challenge: H is for Hat Christmas Ones of course!

Christmas at Sweet Stampin' Challenge: Animals

Crafty Sentiments Designs Challenge: Anything Goes

Sparkles Christmas Challenge # 63: CAS Christmas

Star Stampz Challenge: Use a Digi

A DT Call and my Top 5 for 2013

What a great year for Christmas cards!

I started making cards for this Christmas back in January, entering a few challenges.

Then, I had the chance to be chosen in Christmas Card Challenges DT and made Christmas cards weekly. I often managed to make more than one copy and found myself in September with a good number of cards for my Etsy shop.

I also had to make copies of existing cards for my Customers and all this has made me very happy.

Now that Christmas is just around the corner I'd like to sit down and make a list of my favorite cards for 2013.

I also take this chance to enter a new DT call for C.R.A.F.T. Challenge where I've been gently invited by Trimgym.

So, here's my fav cards for 2013 (in no particular order):

Hope you like them as much as I do!

I'm already working on new cards for 2014 so stay tuned!

My First Christmas Cards for 2013

Believe it or not, I've just finished a couple of Christmas cards!

I sadly missed a DT call at ABC Christmas Challenge but I'd like to follow each one of their Challenges this year and make a card for every letter!!

The first is A for Animals and I've made not one but TWO cards with animals:

I must admit... I forgot I had bought these lovely images from Pink Petticoat a long time ago and when I rediscovered them, I had to use them immediately!

The papers are also from Pink Petticoat and the doneky and sheep are colored with Copics and glitter and mounted on a white card with a delicate ribbon, a felt snowflakes and... sigh!...two buttons (it's always so difficult to part with my buttons!).

I've made two cards because I liked both images and I couldn't choose only one but they've turned out so pretty that I'm thinking about making a card with every animal of the set!

My card is for the following challenges:

ABC Christmas Challenge: A is for Animals

Christmas Cards All Year Round January Challenge: Anything Goes

Crafty Creations Challenge # 205: Snowflakes

Glitter and Sparkle Challenge # 15: Use a Digi

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge # 190: Christmas in January

Well, 341 days to next Christmas and two cards are done!
