Happy Friday, peeps! I have been struggling with my creativity these last few days....I am overwhelmed with new product and I don't know where to begin! I did force myself to create a new Christmas card because the As You See It Challenge is vintage, as well as the Jingle Belles challenge chose the Spirit of Christmas Past for their current challenge. I had not delved into my Traditions of St Nick DSP or the new upcoming Christmas Labels bundle, so that gave me some impetus! Here's the challenge prompt:
And here's my card; again, not fabulously creative but it gave me a chance to use some new stuff:
I fussy cut St Nick along with some tree and popped him up on a piece of Country Lace DSP, matted wtih Mossy Meadow. I did give him some shading with a sponge dauber and Crumb Cake ink:
The front of the card is the opposite side of the St Nick DSP, which is a pretty vintage pattern in Real Red. I diecut one of the labels from Basic Beige cardstock and added the sentiment; it is so cool how the words fit right into the panels of the label! Love it! I did add some little glimmer paper stars using the star die from Iconic Imagery:
Inside was another sentiment from Christmas Labels!
I think I'd going to spend some time at the pool today...rain is forecasted for tomorrow and I've been busy in the house all week long, so some "outdoor time" is needed! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

Adorable vintage-y card, LeAnne! I especially love the label die and the matching stamp.
ReplyDeleteI like the swirly design of the sentiment die cut and your pretty background paper! Fabulous vintage card, LeAnne!
ReplyDeleteYou always do vintage so well, LeAnne! Love this Santa!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I have this paper too and it's been a struggle to use it since I do not have the dies to cut those Santa images out! I'm not big on fussy cutting but might have to just do it! Love your papers and the sentiment panel! Great card as always, LeAnne! :)
ReplyDeleteTo me, it's a perfect vintage Christmas, LeAnne. I love it. The vintage images, the rich colours, the touches of distressing add up to a lovely vintage design. Thank you for joining in with us at the Paper Players.
ReplyDeletethat red patterned paper is amazing ... so glad you celebrated Christmas Past with us at Jingle Belles.
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I get it. A whole box of beautiful new product and I don't know where to start, but you've inspired me! This is not only a beautiful, traditionally vintage Christmas card, but I love how it marries new products with old. My motto is when in doubt go vintage, and you just proved me right! LOL Thanks for nailing our theme at As You See It Challenges!
