Happy Monday, peeps! I have a Christmas card to share today! I am usually very diligent about making holiday cards all year long, but I had quite a few left from last year, so I have been a bit of a slacker! But the Jingle Belles challenge is to use something new that Santa might have brought you, and Sunday Stamps had a pretty floral color challenge that I thought I could translate into Chrismas:
I used a new Stamp Market stamp set called Candy Cane Christmas, along with the matching dies and a SU punch to create this:
I used Cherry Cobbler ink for the candy cane, Pool Party for the greenery, and Flirty Flamingo for the bow:
I used my Stamparatus to get good coverage with the large sentiment on the inside, and I added another little sprig of greenery too:
Cassidy saw something online and since I had all the ingredients, she decided to create it the other day---an apple owl! I believe it didn't turn out quite the way she envisioned it, but she did it all by herself...even using the knife (yikes!)!
Oops, his wing slid a little! He is cute, though...and she ate him afterwards, LOL! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Neat card....using the punch from SU was a good idea...very different. I love Cassy’s creativity. She is always thinking outside of the box. Maybe she gets it from her Grandma...ya think!
Brilliant - I totally didn't think of holiday options for these colors, but they're perfect! Very fun card! Thanks so much for playing at Sunday Stamps!
Your large candy cane really stands out against your embossed background labels LeAnne! Love the colours too.
Cassidy's owl is adorable! Sorry, I mean WAS adorable lol!
