Scrapy Land Challenge #98 ~ Anything Goes

Hello, everyone and happy Wednesday!! I am going on vacation for two weeks, so I won't be able to comment until I come back on the 7th of October. I have a couple of posts scheduled while I'm away. It's time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land and the theme is Anything Goes featuring a brand of die Scrapy Land carries...there are over 55 to choose from.

I created two Christmas cards that are about as masculine as I can get :) I used papers from an old DCWV stack (I think).

I cut out a Memory Box Stitched Trees with a Memory Box Stitched Circles for the base of the card. The trees are Frantic Stamper Tall Pine Trees cut in sparkle paper. The deer family are Impression Obsession Dear Trio dies and they were popped up with foam tape for dimension.

Beneath the Wild Orchid Crafts poinsettia are Impression Obsession Pine Branch, Impression Obsession Pine Pair, Impression Obsession Pine Sprig Cluster and Memory Box Holiday Twigs dies. The sentiment is from Altenew, stamped on a Sue Wilson Pierced Flags .

Merry Christmas Tree for Sparkle N Sprinkle

Hello, everyone and happy Saturday!! It's my turn to post on the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog and I have a couple of Christmas cards to share with you featuring the Merry Christmas Tree DIGI906BG stamp set.

For my cards, I used a Tonic Jasmine Sunset Layering Die for the shape of the cards. Super Adhesive Sheets were applied to the base layer, and then covered with Gypsy Red glitter. For the next layer, I used a Prima Stencil and Nuvo Embellishment Mousse Seaspray Green for texture.

I applied a Super Adhesive Sheets to cardstock, and then cut it out with a Tonic Sunray Venus die. It was then covered with Irish Isle glitter. I used a Tonic Mixed Edge Oval to cut out the image. The frame was covered with Christmas Cheer glitter. Believe was also covered with Gypsy Red glitter and I used a Nuvo Crystal Drops Simply White to dot the I.

I first covered the Christmas tree with a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen for some amazing sparkle. I love these pens!! Then I covered it with Nuvo Crystal Glaze.

It's pretty much impossible to tell in the pictures, but I used a Nuvo Smooth Precision Glue Pen and then added a strip of Crystal Ice glitter to the poinsettias.

A Memory Box Snowflake Swell die was added to the bottom half of the card. The sentiment is from Altenew and it was stamped on a Sue Wilson Pierced Flag die. I added Prills for texture.
