Happy Sunday, friends!
Time for a fun new creative challenge over at The Paper Players!
This week, Claire is hosting our Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge.
Rows Selected:
Plaid - Die-Cut - Embossing
Patterned Paper - Die-Cut - Sequins/Enamel Dots
Tic-Tac-Toe week is so much fun! I love all of the options to really get the creative mojo working. There are so many possibilities! I decided to skip some of the fall-themed squares because I’m in a bit of a festive mood this week making Christmas cards. In the end, I ended up using elements from two rows on the board. Hooray! I sure hope you will take this challenge for a spin and join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create!
*I’ve shared measurements and a full supply list of products used to create this card at the end of this post.

Right now, I am really enjoying creating with the Christmas Classics stamp and die bundle from the Stampin’ Up!® Mini Catalog. I don’t know why I waited so long to order this set…it truly makes awesome…well, classic holiday cards. I really like the detailed frames in this set and decided to make that the focal image of my card.
To bring in a little pop of red on the holly berries I initially die-cut another frame in Real Red, cut off the berries and glued them on the Shaded Spruce frame. But I just felt like it needed a little “more” to make the berries pop. Then I remembered that I ordered the Metallic Enamel Effects a while ago, stuck them in my embellishment drawer and forgot about them. The red added the coolest pearlized effects to the berries, exactly what I was wanting. They take a little bit to dry, but the end result is SO worth it!

Finally, a peek inside the card. I simply added a strip of DSP and a coordinating festive sentiment to “keep the party going” from the front of the card. I made a few extra of these for team swaps because they were so fun to create!

Anne Marie, this is the perfect Christmas card. This color combo shouts the holidays! I love the checked background and all the red accents! The little holly is so fun, too! Have an amazing week, My Friend and Thanks for rocking my challenge this week!
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie, I love it. Such a beautiful Christmas card. I love the plaid, the big sentiment and the bright bow. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love the green plaid background of your card. All the "classic" elements work perfectly here...so pretty! Someone will be thrilled to receive this in their mailbox this holiday season!
ReplyDeleteI like your little touch of sparklel! This is lovely!
ReplyDeleteClassic and beautiful, Anne Marie! The pearlized berries are fabulous...and so is that perfect bow. A gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie, with Halloween just ending I'm having a hard time thinking of Christmas, but I know I'll regret that in about a month. Your card is a great inspiration for me to get off my rear and start thinking about it. I love the green plaid and red bow and silver embellishments.
ReplyDeleteXoxo, Fran
Anne Marie, because you kept the colors to just the red and green, the elements you chose for your card really pop. I love the touch of gingham and how you used the jewels for the berries. Fabulous card, my friend
