More Cutting!

Here are two more cards that I whipped up last night! Well, I actually finished the card for yesterday's technique challenge this morning...close enough!!! This first one was an idea that was floating around in my head and I just had to get it out!!! Not your typical Christmas card at least around here but I like it! (click on photos for closer views)

I was going for a post card kind of look here! The cowboys are stamped in black craft and then heat embossed with clear powder. I cut them out and then adhered them to the trees (colored with copic markers) with pop dots. I machine stitched around the card and I was done! Oh, and I sponged the sky with bliss blue ink.

This next one is for the technique challenge for the week...gift card holders that were paper pieced.

The card has a pocket inside for the gift card or a special note, etc...The skates are paper pieced with white cardstock and silver cardstock on the blades. I used my giga scallop punch behind the focal circle. I machine stitched rather than adding ribbon. The flake button was from my stash! A fun, simple way to present a gift!

The color challenge for today is a bright, fun one...just can't decide whether to put a holiday spin on it or try to convince myself its warmer out than it is by doing a springy card!! Decisions, decisions...well, back to work while I decide!!!

See you soon...
