I really should just get on and make my Christmas cards, rather than playing with different designs!!
So
these 2 I made by simply embossing a panel of cardstock, adding some
score lines, twine, a charm and the sentiment. I popped the cardstock
onto 3d pads . I have quite a lot of Christmas themed charms and these
were really quick to make so I think a few more of these will be in the
offing.
Challenges:
Less is more - hardware
Clearly Inspired - CAS
The Stampman - emboss it
Addicted to CAS - snow
Totally Gorguss Plain and simple
And after quick and easy, I needed to get messy!!
For these I used Tim Holtz stamps and stamped them in picket fence
distress stain onto kraft core cordinations. For the snowflake I simply
popped into on foam pads and onto the card balnk and stamped the
sentiment.
Challenges:
CAS-ual Friday - winter blues
For
the snowman I added the grungy border and snowflakes (LOTV) again
stamped in distress stain and some Stampendous chunky embossing enamel
round the edges.
Challenges:
Sweet Stampin' - Snow people
One Stop Craft - monochrome tones
Fuss n Fancy - feeling blue
Craft Punked - anything goes
Simon Says Stamp and show - stamp without ink
ATCs and Cards with Attitude - autumn/winter
Fat pages and cards with attitude - autumn/winter/anything goes

Love them! Those christmas charms are just gorgeous too and I love how you combined the snowflake with your embossed background. Perfect CAS! Thanks so much for playing in our first challenge at ATCAS! xx
Cathy...all of your cards are lovely. I particularly love the ones you've done on the deep blue kraft coredinations and Tim's blueprint stamps. They are absolutely darling and I love the fact that they are quick and easy! :) Both of these cards are so nicely done! Love the white border around the snowflake card and the randomly stamped border about the snowman one! Thanks for sharing your work with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
