Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday.
Nance is our fabulous hostess across at the Paper Players this week and she has a wonderful CAS challenge for us.
I had an idea to make a Christmas card using this theme and, of course, had to use Gumball Green. I really am loving the vibrancy of this new color. Here's my take on the challenge:
This really was a quick and simple card to make. I already had a piece of Very Vanilla that I had run through my Big Shot with the new bark embossing folder. All I had to do is trim it a little.
I cut three pieces of the Be of Good Cheer DSP to slightly different lengths and adhered them to the textured layer. I then stamped the sentiment from More Merry Messages onto a piece of Very Vanilla card stock using Basic Black. I took the holly from the Watercolor Winter set and inked it up using Crumb Cake. I off stamped it onto a piece of scrap paper and then stamped it again over the sentiment. The holly stamp worked well with the sentiment :-) All that was left was to adhere the sentiment to the Gumball Green layer using dimensionals and adhere to the base. Very quick and very easy!
The design team certainly did many different things with this theme challenge. I hope you will check out their designs on their blogs and then join us and play along.

SUPER cute, Jaydee! Great take on the challenge; it’s fun to see what I consider an “inside” sentiment on the outside of your card! I may have to borrow this idea!!!
Jaydee, I love that you used the wood grain embossing folder. Gives it so much warmth and texture! Wonderful Christmas card!!!
“Be of Good Cheer” certainly describes this card, Jaydee! Love the mix of patterns on your banners and I like that you didn’t string them up–a great way to showcase a different kind of banner. Great job with the challenge!
Jaydee, your clean and simple cards are always the best! The patterns “pop” against the Very Vanilla, which looks amazing with Gumball Green! LOVE it!
Such a sweet and simple card Jaydee – perfect for Christmas! Love the combination of the woodgrain embossing and the little dsp banners…
Such a festive card, Jaydee! Love the woodgrain embossing and the bits of pretty patterns you added with the banners. The patterns add so much without taking over the card. That sentiment is wonderful, too. Hugs! 🙂
This is a fabulous Christmas card Jaydee! Love the woodgrain texture of the vanilla panel, combined with the pops of colour from the cute banners. 🙂
