Christmas Card Challenge #5

It is already May..Time is passing quickly. I am sure you all have completed your Mother day cards or maybe getting some done in last minute...if you are like me :) So the advantage of playing with IC Challenges are that there is no time limit on these. So, please feel free to create some Christmas cards in May...

Here is the sketch for the May Christmas cards challenge. If you upload to public galleries, please use the Keyword ICCMAY10.



Here is my sample card,



I used this old music sheet that somebody had sent me as RAK along with some left over stuff from card bin. The green glitter paper is American Crafts Glitter paper. the background paper is BG Eskimo Kisses. Ribbon is from the stash.

I hope you take time to create something with this sketch. Please leave a direct link to your blog or image with Mr.Linky below.

ICCJAN10 - Christmas Card Challenge for January

Good Morning Everyone!!
Welcome to the first of the Christmas Card Challenges by Inspired Crafters. I wanted to start off with a simple sketch.

The challenge is to use the following sketch to create Christmas/Holiday Cards. I know, I know..Christmas just went by :) But it is good to start from the beginning of the year and build up a stash of cards so that you are not stressed out at the year end :) So do not put away those stamps just yet :). If you want set a goal of making more than one cards, that is just awesome and it is up to the individual. But please do make at least one holiday card using this sketch.

This sketch was inspired by one of the cards that my friend Chris had sent me during 2008 Holiday. WOW!! Time is flying past.


Please use the Mr.Linky at the bottom of the post to link your card or blog post. There is no time limit for our challenges and you can have as many entries as you want to.

Here is my sample,



I did 4 of these cards using one sheet of 8x8 DSP cut into 4 - 4x4 pieces and one sheet of Green Card stock for the 4 1/8 x 4 1/8 mat. Two red card stock gave me 4 card bases. I used my left over white scrap for the image and sentiments. Also you will need about 4.5 yards of ribbon.
