Christmas Circles {Scrapy Land #104}

Today is the beginning of the Scrapy Land Challenge #103.  Since we have less than a week before Christmas, I wanted to share a Christmas card with you.

It's a very simple design using two dies. 

Tutti Designs: Nesting Stitched Circles
Cheapo Dies: Merry Christmas






All the circles were die cut from mirrored cardstock, alternating shiny with textured red mirrored cardstock.  The sentiment was die cut from silver textured mirrored cardstock.  The card base is green, continuing the theme of traditional Christmas colors.

The hardest part of this entire card was deciding on which pattern I wanted my circles to be in 😀.

You have until Dec 30 to share your projects with us for the Scrapy Land Challenge.  The theme is always Anything Goes using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.

and Happy New Year!

thanks

Hey everyone, it's that time again - the first Wednesday of the month. (Can you believe it's already December??)  That means it's time for a brand new Scrapy Land Challenge #103.  The theme is always anything goes using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.

I needed a quick thank you card for my husband to send out.  (That means it needed to be more masculine looking 😀).  This was quick and easy.  It would also be quite easy to mass produce and it's flat for easy mailing.

I started out by using a 3D embossing folder from WR Memory Keepers (Geometric).  I love both of the embossing folders that came in this package and have already used them several time!

Next up I took out several pots of Nuvo Embellishment mousse (Aquamarine, Cosmic Brown, Mustard Seed) to give a bit of color to the white background.  I started with the Cosmic Brown and used a dauber to lightly add color to the raised areas on the card front.  Next I spritzed some water into the Aquamarine to get it nice and juicy and used my fingertip to incorporate the water.  Using my fingertip covered with mousse, I added some of this color to the recessed areas of the card front.

I used the Die-Versions Curly Word Thanks die for the sentiment, but you could use any of these choices as well.  I die cut the word out twice, once from black cardstock and once from white.  I then added Mustard Seed Nuvo Expanding Mousse the white die cut for color.

Now it's your turn to join the Scrapy Land Challenge #103.  You have until Dec 16 to upload your project for you chance to win one of two gift certificates to Scrapy Land.  We look forward to seeing what you create!
