The first theme of the year is called "No Time Like the Presents" so before you put away your wrapping supplies, pull out some of your leftovers (or that bit of paper from a present you unwrapped that was just too pretty to toss) and make a card featuring wrapping paper or gift tags. Here's what I made this week:
 |
| plaid paper, lace and tartan ribbon from my giftwrapping stash; red gingham paper: stampin' up; reindeer and "merry" journal cards: carta bella; dimensional poinsettias and holly: heartfelt creations; pinecone and poinsettia brads: eyelet outlet; foliage dies: tim holtz/sizzix; adhesives: xyron, elmers brand gluetape, 3m foam tape, gluedots, sewing machine |
My card features a gorgeous plaid scrap leftover from my own giftwrapping duties this year. I typically mount thin papers like giftwrap or tissue onto a piece of lightweight cardstock that I've run through my xyron machine to make more sturdy, and that's what I did here. The tartan ribbon is also an offcut from this year's supplies... I went a bit mad for plaid! I've embellished that pretty reindeer journal card with some Heartfelt Creations dimensional poinsettias and a couple of gorgeous Eyelet Outlet Pinecone and Poinsettia Brads.

Awesome theme, since our Christmas was delayed due to half of the family sick. I have just the perfect piece of gorgeous paper I received last night on a gorgeous gift. On to your card, it's fabulous love that image and how you sewed it on the gingham an that beautiful plaid and kraft is fantastic. Now since I have no mojo and haven't crafted in three weeks I hope your first challenge gives me the oomph I need.
