Merry Christmas with 52 Christmas Card Throwdown

Hi guys! I hope you are having a good day! The weather is cooler, the leaves are changing, and it's really starting to feel like fall! Well, at least for a couple of days...by the weekend and early next week we will be seeing the 80's again! Gotta love this ever changing weather!

I have a card to share with you today. I loved the color challenge this week over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. It is a color combo that I don't use very often, especially for Christmas cards, but this challenge may have changed that! Here is a look at the colors:

I just love that soft blue and mint green with the grey. It is just so pretty! Here is the card that I came up with:

The blue and green papers that I used on this card have been in my stash for years! I'm not sure why I haven't used them before...I guess they were some of those that I have been saving for the perfect project to come along! I used one of my favorite old $1 bin stamp sets for the tree and the sentiment. I just love that little, simple tree! I added in a little wooden star to the top of the tree, and I thought about adding in some sequins, but I couldn't get it to look anything but cluttered, so I decided against them.

Be sure to check out the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown blog. They have great challenges to get you going, and they are a great place for Christmas card inspiration!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a great Thursday - just one more day until the weekend!

Another Holiday Card

Hello everyone! How is your week going so far? Mine has been surprisingly busy, but in all good ways!

I have another holiday card to share with you today! For some reason I have really been in the mood to make Christmas cards, so you'll being seeing quite a few of them in the months to come! When I saw the sketch this week at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. Here's a look at their sketch:

I used the 6x6 "A Very Merry Christmas" paper pad from The Paper Studio for this card. I love the snowflakes on the light grey background with a little pop of red. The snowflake is from "Snowflakes A Plenty" from Inkadinkado, and the sentiment is another never before used Studio G $1 stamp.

I'm really trying to keep my cards a little on the flatter side for mailing. It's hard sometimes to not add a little gem or enamel dot to help finish it off!

Be sure to check out 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. They have a fun new challenge posted every Saturday!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
