I've got my monthly card class today so I've been busy getting prepped for that but I found a bit of time to stamp for for myself this past weekend. The Color Hues challenge sounded like a fun one; use Aqua and Pink so I thought I'd try out a Christmas card with those colors.
I haven't used the More Than Autumn set for very many Christmas cards but I thought these colors would be fun for some cups of cocoa (or coffee if you prefer!).
I started off with a Basic White thick card base, then a layer of Basic White embossed with the Snowflake Sky embossing folder. I hand cut a large banner from Summer Splash Glimmer paper and then added a square of 2024-2026 In Color DSP next.
A Basic White circle cut with the Spotlight on Nature dies gives a nice place for the 2 cups, one in Melon Mambo and then other in Summer Splash. I stamped a candy cane and gingerbread man on the cups then added the cuffs. The candy cane and gingerbread man on the cuffs are popped on mini dimensionals. The whipped cream is stamped off once Basic Beige ink.
I added the greeting in Melon Mambo from a retired set and put a baker's twine bow behind it. And as I'm always trying to use up retired embellishments but never having much luck I added a few Melon Mambo enamel circles.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?

ReplyDeleteYou sure packed a lot into this CAS card Amanda and I'm loving all of it...from the snowy embossed background, your sparkly banner, the striped DSP, and of course those two adorable hot cocoa cups on top of the die cut circle!
