Christmas Time Challenge at Creatalicious

It's time for our November Challenge at Creatalicious!  Our theme is Winter Time!

Our sponsor for this challenge is StampFairy and the winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to their store!

For my card I used a freebie from StampFairy.  I colored the image with my copic markers then added some rhinestones and stickles.  I also added some stitching around the edges cause I thought the card needed a little sumthin'.

It's time to put your creativity to the test at ABC Christmas Challenge!  For this challenge we want you to incorporate some kind of transparency film in your project.

For my shaker card, I used Mimi Frame.  I colored Mimi with my copic markers then attached a piece of transparency film to the back. I used foam tape on the back, added some red, green & gold beads along with mica chips by Stampin Up!  The paper is from the North Pole collection by Doodlebug Designs.

For the Boys Challenge at Creatilicious!

It's challenge time at Creatalicious and our theme for this month is "For the Boys"!  I love making cards for boys ...having two boys in the house I get a lot of chances to make these cards!

Our sponsor for this challenge is StampFairy and the winner will receive a $10 gift certificate! 

This card was created using a freebie from StampFairy called Space Fun. I colored him up with my copic markers and cut him out to sit in the centre of this flip swing card.  The papers are from my stash (can't seem to find any name on them) and the diecuts are from the Orbit Collection of glitter diecuts by Crate Paper.

The sentiment is from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

No Embellies Challenge

Yikes, no embellies?!  You read correctly all right ... at ABC Christmas Challenge we want to see your Christmas creation minus any and all embellies!

Our sponsor for this challenge is StampFairy and they have graciously donated a $10 gift certificate to the winner of this challenge!

I used Santa Chimney by StampFairy for this challenge. I colored him with my copic markers then carefully cut him out.  The sentiment is computer generated and the banners were cut with Die-namics Fishtail Flags by My Favorite Place and the papers are from the Mistletoe Collection by Bo Bunny and Dots & Stripes by Echo Park.

I can't help it, the sentiment cracks me up!  I had fun putting this card together and it took no time at all ... I think I'll be making more of these!

Eyes Down at ABC Christmas Challenge

It's time to keep your Eyes down for a game of Bingo!  That's right, our theme at ABC Christmas Challenge is to pick your bingo line and start creating!

We have two amazing sponsors, StampFairy and ShapeEZ!  Make sure you check them out!

Bingo:  Not a Square, Flowers, Glitter

For my creation, I  used the Flip Ornament template by ShapeEZ and used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the shapes.  There are so many possibilities with this template, this is just one of many ideas.

 I chose Mimi Winter from StampFairy to work with and I love how she turned out.

I colored her up with my Copic markers and added Glossy Accents to the heart and Stardust Stickles to the snow.  The paper is from the North Pole collection by Doodlebug Designs and the tag is from The Yellow Bicycle.

Now it's your turn, which line are you gonna choose?
