Here are a couple cards for monthly challenges. First up is my entry for
Poppystamps Pockets Please Challenge. Really had to put on my thinking cap! I looked through my dies and pulled out 3 from Poppystamps plus the Memory Box Blooming embossing folder.
The beautiful folder was embossed on pink cardstock and I rubbed over the raised edges with white pigment ink. Sparkle embossing powder was added and heated for a lovely sheen and sparkle. I layered 2 Tunnel Tags and die cut Grograin Bow for the top. The Luscious Script Hello word and the center of the bow were also embossed with the Sparkle powder. Simple and fun way to give a gift card.
The
Pinkfresh December Challenge Theme is Very Merry and I used it for my entry. It's been a long time since I made a card with PFS Wintry Forest stencil set.
There are 6 stencils, but I just used 3 blue Altenew inks plus Versamark on the final layer. The snow is Stampendous Sparkle Puff ep. Not sure I've ever used Season's Greetings from the PFS Classic Holiday Words die set, but it fit perfectly on this card. The mat and sentiment shadow were die cut from silver metallic cardstock. I layered the white die cut words 2 high. I've now begun my 2026 cards that won't need extra postage! Think I'll make a couple more cards using different colors and at least one will be a birthday card. I'm also entering
SSS Monday and
WAW.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. I've gotten way behind on reading blogs, but I'm working on catching up. Wishing everyone joy and peace this holiday season.
