12 Days of Christmas Challenge

[Michele]

I love what everyone's been doing. I couldn't manage to do Day 1, but here's Day 2.

 

I used the background and ornaments (a little altered) from Pixel Scrapper by Marisa L. I created the Happy Holidays circle, then added one of Cass's trees and used a starburst brush to top the tree.  I copied the tree to the back of the card and added some picture tube presents. Since the presents came with a drop shadow, I added one to the tree. I just hope I got the right angle; I'm not that confident with drop shadows yet. The reason I included two pics of the card and the envelope is I wanted to display what the front and back would look like since I can't digitally fold them. (Before you ask, yes, I do have OCD; lol.)

Here's a card I made last night.   To be printed on 5x7 photo paper, or emailed.  Using  my own photo. (Snowman was a free clipart from Corel) Made the card, envelope and stamps from scratch,  extracted the pen from a photo, the other elements I  found in   PSP tube depot. com

[Sheila Hogg]

Here is my No 3. I used images from Pixabay and Cassels Christmas Lights tube. I used a brick texture for the card front. I used EC plugin to make the gold edgings. TFL.

Here is my Day 2 project.  I reworked the template because the square card doesn't work on Zazzle where I upload my work.

 

 

Attribution: I used the same recolored one of my own papers for the background.

The snowflakes are from DesignBundles Winter Love freebie with a glitter from Marisa at Pixelscrapper overlayed.

 

The rest of the elements are made myself from patterns in this bundle but I don't recommend it because the .jpg files are not print quality and I had to use Inkscape to extract the vectors to use the patterns.

Day 04 Christmas Card Challenge is done.  I really like this template!  I used Country Christmas by Let Me Scrapbook Designs.  It is a darling kit!

I had already made the sparrow card.  For the circular frame I used  the font headers and frame, lower case letter o. used a mask on the photo of the sparrow, and place it under the  round frame.   For the  main border I used  effects, textures, kaleidoscope.  After watching the  latest superb Master class earlier today.  I  made a bauble  from the same  sparrow photo, and placed it  in the frame, also added ''Merry Christmas'

[Cassel]

@Sue, I am so happy to see the class put into practice this quickly, and your result is wonderful!

 

@Rose, I would love to see your Zazzle store. Can you link to it? Your cards are lovely and I hope they sell well.

 

@DeLoris, you have a simple style that is similar to mine. I love your cards.

 

@Sheila, you made a great window for your card!

 

@micfin, I love the simplicity of your designs.

 

@JoAnn, your image is not showing. Do you want to upload it again?

 

I hope you all have a chance to print those cards/envelopes and put a smile on someone's face this Christmas

[JoAnn Godwin]

Here is my #1 card.  I'm real unsure of how to use the forum and my friend DeLoris is helping me.

 

Hugs,

Day 4 Christmas Card Challenge - done!  This was fun to do and a cute template!

 

I used Snickerdoodle Designs by Karen's Handmade Holiday Scrap Kit.  I love this kit and goes sooo well when you make your own decorations.  Plus the angel is adorable!!!!

[Sheila Hogg]

My No 4. I used a Christmas Paper I already had on PC and used a square doily using Cassels script. i used another free image from Pixabay, a corner brush and EC Impact plugin-Chrome. I used Monotype Corsiva font and EC plugin again. The ribbon and bow were made from Cassels scripts. Its quite dark or rich coloured and am sure it would look better for real rather than digi. TFL

Thanks, Cassel. I do lean towards simplicity, but if I had more time and experience, I would be able to "fancy" them up a little more. :)

[Michele]

I'm a day late with Day 3, but I'm here it is. I don't even want to tell you how many hours it took me. The pattern on the front of the card and the elements are from a new freebie I just got from Creative Market. I made my first ever picture tube because I got tired of copying and pasting the darn snowflakes. Once I figured out how to do make the picture tube, it was so much easier to add to the design.

 

This is such a fun challenge. I just wish I had more time.

[Sheila Hogg]

I'm a day behind and here is my day 4. I have only done the card as it took a bit of time to put this together. It turned out suitable for a child's Christmas card. I used images from Pixabay and altered them to suit, i.e. changing colours and reducing size etc. i also used Cassel's Clouds script for smoke. I used the brightness darkness technique as taught by Cassel to give a bit of depth and shape. TFL

Here's my Day 5 of the Challenge.  I was sick yesterday and was in bed most of the day.   I went back in my files to get the pictures of my grandson Danny.  He is 10 now and I don't get many chances to take his picture.  It makes me sad because scrapbooking pages of him was such a thrill for me.  I enjoyed making this card and remembering how much fun he had building this gingerbread house.  I used All Wrapped Up by Karen of Snickerdoodle Designs, but sadly it has been discontinued.

 

Hugs,

I went a little (lot - LOL) different for Day 06!  I used Karen of Snickerdoodle Designs kit I'll Be Home For Christmas.  The car I got from her kit The Scenic Route (I re-colored it).  The graphic I snagged off Pinterest.

 

Hugs,

 

DeLoris

Here is No 6. I have been home today so was able to play. I used some Pixabay images (love that site), EC plugin Chrome and Amazone BT text  done in a circle. TFL.

Here is Day 07.  I love the simplicity of the template, so I stayed with a simple design.  I used Snickerdoodle Designs By Karen's newest Christmas kit called Christmas Memories.

[DeLoris Musick]

Here's Day 08 of the challenge.  I used Kimeric Kreations kit Jingle All The Way.  This is a fun kit to work with and I loved the template too!

Day 8 ~ Patterns are from Fabulous Winter Collection by Alyonka_lis on Creative Market. They were freebies a few weeks ago. I used a weave texture for the background and had a little fun with cutout frames.

 

This is the first chance I've had to do another card. I've been busy with Cassel's Christmas 3 tutorial. I'm trying to do a little bit every day.
