Christ's love ...

My card today is for the Clean and Simple Challenge at Splitcoaststampers.

The challenge is to make a tent card using one of two tutorials in the SCS resources.

The grandkids are coming to town and I am a little behind with the Christmas Card Challenge quota. I like being three months ahead but summer has been very busy.

The sentiment is a Doodle Pantry digi and I printed it onto the card base. I used a Spellbinders circle for the opening and added the leftover red embossed wreath from the cards below to the opening. The poinsettia is made using a QuicKutz die.

The ornament is made with the center portion
of the stamped and embossed image

Merry Christmas Tree

We are having a particularly busy summer with travel, construction and visitors. I was so far ahead of the game for Christmas cards in the early part of the year but now I find myself scrambling to meet my quota for August.

For the monthly Christmas Card Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers I've submitted these 20 cards for September. Yes, I need to work on August but those cards will be a mix.

The tree stamp by "Outlines Rubber Stamp Co. Inc." is a little beat up from stamping 60 times for all the parts. The sentiment is memory box stamp and the star is memory box die. I've used up a bunch of scrap card stock and designer paper. The card measures 3.5" x 6". I've also made envelopes because I  have an inordinate amount of designer paper.

Sketch Challenge 393 {07/11/12} at SCS

Taylor you draw up a mighty fine sketch for today's challenge!  I still have about 80 Christmas cards to make by November and this will be one of 25 for August 2012 in the Christmas card challenge at SCS.

This card is 3.5” x 6” and it fits in the bill paying envelope nicely. I stamped the OUTLINES RUBBER STAMP CO. INC. Tree – four times on various scrap pieces and cut out parts and popped up to add interest and dimension. I then added a popped up memory box die star and memory box sentiment.
