Christmas Craft Creations December 2023 Challenge - Christmas Decorations

Hi crafters,

I'm back to share more inspiration for the latest challenge over at Christmas Craft Creations.

This month our theme is Christmas Decorations.  We would love to see how you decorate your cards for Christmas.    


I started by hot foiling the Retro Ornaments from Simon Hurley Create in gold foil using my Spellbinders Glimmer machine.  I put the panel into the Pine Branches 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder from Tim Holtz.  I used a blending brush to add a small amount of Pine Needles Distress Ink over the pine branches.  I finished off with a Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strip.  

If you are planning to get a start on next year's Christmas crafting, join us for our Christmas Decorations theme.  You have until 9 January 2024 at 6pm GMT to submit your entry.

Happy Christmas crafting,

Rachel

Christmas Craft Creations December 2023 Challenge - Christmas Decorations

Hi crafters,

I'm joining in with the Launch team again at Christmas Craft Creations.  We are sharing inspiration for our new theme.  

This month our theme is Christmas Decorations.  We would love to see how you decorate your cards for Christmas.    

I started with a kraft card base and then used the Waffle Flower Bokeh Stencil and white pigment ink.  I cut the shiny gold bauble with the Hero Arts Bulb Ornament Infinity Dies and embossed using the Spellbinders Scenic Poinsettias 3D embossing folder.  I sanded back some of the design to reveal the white core of the metallic cardstock.  I cut a red bow using the Holly Berries Stamp & Cut XL set and then hot foiled my sentiment with Yana's A Merry Little Christmas Sentiments from Spellbinders.  

If you're making a few last minute Christmas cards, join us for our Christmas Decorations theme.  You have until 9 January 2024 at 6pm GMT to submit your entry.

Happy Christmas crafting,

Rachel
