A Very Vintage Christmas!!

 Hello everyone: As always, I hope you and your families are doing well, keeping each other healthy and safe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I like to make Christmas cards throughout the year, and Christmas cards challenges are a great way to add to your Holiday stash so, that when December comes along, you don't have to be scrambling to make your cards for family and friends.

This is the inside.

And this is what I used.

SU "Father Christmas" (2016 Holiday Mini)

Power Poppy "Spice it Up" (2015)

I would like to play with these challenges.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

The Card Concept #173

I was inspired by the word "Vintage", and the colors red and green.

Thank you for visiting me today and for your comments, I appreciate them so very much.

Until next time, stay healthy and safe.

Another First For Me.....ATC cards.....

Hello everyone: Until very recently, I've never heard of ATC cards so, I asked my teammates at SHOPPING OUR STASH about them and also, Google'd and searched on Pinterest and found a whole bunch of ideas on how to go about it so, here are my very first ATC cards, hope you like them.

I'm sure most of you have heard of these cards, you can really decorate them in any which way you want, you can put any image, colors, etc., the only rule is that they must be 2.5"x3.5", the rest is up to you.

I can see these cards on a card, with some pattern paper and other embellishments.

I used several stamp sets to create these cards. The first and second card have images from Power Poppy, the image on the third one I think is from Impression Obsession, the fourth one with the snowman is from Inkakinkado and the fifth one's image is from SU "Zoo Review" (retired).

I just cut my panels out of watercolor paper, sponged them with Distress Inks, stamped my images and added some other colors with Prismacolor pencils.

So there you have them, hope you get inspired to come along to the SHOPPING OUR STASH blog, check out my teammates' creations and join us in the gallery.

Thank you for stopping by, your comments always make my day.

XO

Maria.
