Caffeinated Christmas Wishes at Penny's

It's time for a new challenge with us on the
As always, the challenge is Anything Goes.

~~~*~~~*~~~

The sponsors for this challenge are:


Little Blue Button Stamps


~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the Christmas Frappe digital stamp from Little Blue Button Stamps, one of our generous sponsors for this challenge, to make a pair of Christmas cards.



I opened the image in Silhouette Studio and sized the image for both cards, printed on X-Press It blending card, heat set then coloured with Copic markers.

The Holiday Cheer card is 6 1/8" square.  I die cut the image panel (4 1/4" diameter), layered it with an offset contrasting die cut circle and doily, then finished it off with a die cut sentiment and sparkling red rhinestones.


The 'TIS THE season to be JOLLY card is 5" x 7".  I trimmed the image panel, matted with black cardstock, cutting the perfect edge by using the 1/16" Perfect Layers Ruler.  The sentiment is a digital font (details & link below), I printed it on cardstock, trimmed to size and matted.  I made a card base from white cardstock, covered it with a jolly candy striped paper panel then layered the matted sentiment and image panel on top.  I finished the card off by adding a touch of sparkle with a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.


. . . and of course there are some more photos to share

NOW it's YOUR turn!

I hope that I have inspired you to get creative
and look forward to seeing your projects fill the gallery for
