SCCC35 and SCH22

 DSCF5719

Happy Monday, peeps!  I survived the weekend with this nasty summer cold, I hope no one else out there is suffering from it…DH is still down & out!  I mustered some strength to make some Christmas cards after seeing the Weekly Christmas Card Challenge #35 – No Stamping; and the Sugar Creek Hollow Challenge 22, which was to make a shabby, vintage Christmas card!  Comin’ right up!

I mixed up some vintage Christmas papers with a Santa chipboard tag for this card:

Since there was no stamping, the hardest part was (after choosing papers!) making the shabby bow and glittering up my little greenery:

And since I already had the papers out, I made another one with the leftovers, and just added a little scalloped border and a vintage sticker:

I snipped out the bottom part of the fishtail banner and brought it to the top!

What fun cards to create and now I have two more for my stash!  Have a great Monday, and be sure to stop back for tomorrow’s ColourQ!

Building a tower is serious business!

    Wow, those cards are amazing. My absolute favorite is the first one with that big lush bow and that wonderful Santa.

    Absolutely beautiful! I am curious...I love the shabby bow but I've not been successful in creating one. Any chance you could give a little tutorial or instruction for those of us who are a bit inept at the technique? I just love yours and the look is perfect on this card.

    Girl... If I had a top 10 list of my all time favorite cards on my blog this card would be on it! Love the Santa image and how Vintage it looks. I have a friend that goes to junk stores to find old vintage Christmas cards and gives them out everyear.. it makes me think of her.
