Non-Traditional Noel

It's Friday and that means it's time for an all new TGIF Challenges Sketch Challenge! Join along in the fun with us this week.  A sketch is my favorite way to start a card, even if I end up straying away from the sketch just a bit.

I'm getting lots of use from the Joy of Noel bundle and Christmas Classics dies!  It was fun to create with some non-traditional Christmas colors for today's card.

I die-cut the greenery square from the Christmas Classics dies, coloring all of the greenery in shades of Old Olive, Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon and Bubble Bath.  I strayed away from the sketch a bit by centering the square...it was a bit too big to off-set like the sketch!

I heat embossed Noel in gold, adhering it on top of a Bubble Bath Square.  I'm pretty sure I used a half sheet of Dimensionals for this card!  Nearly every layer had some, which seems to be par for the course when I make Christmas cards.  Lots of layers and lots of dimension!

I used the tiny little circle dies from the Joy of Noel dies to cut out a few little accent embellishments from the Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper.

Do you like to create Christmas cards in non-traditional colors or are you a traditional colors only kind of stamper?  I love to mix things up!

Happy Stamping!

Joy of Noel Around the World

 

Welcome to October's Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop!  This month we have a sketch that we are all playing along with.  Be prepared for a hop full of amazing projects!


I haven't been able to put the Joy of Noel bundle away yet...it's just so beautiful and a true joy to create with!  

I brought in the Christmas Classics Dies today to go along with the sketch.  I always tend to add more layers when it comes to Christmas cards.  Do you do the same?  I used both the Joy of Christmas and Joyful DSP, along with the amazing new Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper. The adhesive back is perfect for the little accent dies to add just a bit of glimmer and bling.

I love the buffalo check paired up with the gold and Cherry Cobbler holly pattern.  Some Shaded spruce and Old Olive bring all of the traditional colors of Christmas to life.  I am not even close to ready for Christmas, but this beautiful suite certainly helps!

Keep on hopping along with us.  Next up is Lori Willcox of Creative Stamping with Lori!


Here is our full line-up for the month:
