Title: Christmas All Year - February 2020
Post by: Iring on February 04, 2020, 10:01:42 PM

Lots of Christmas cards were made in January!  Let's see if we can keep the momentum going in February.
Don't forget to link your cards here after placing them in the Christmas All Year album ... or the Winterfest album if you use one of those challenges.

This month's letter is "M"

Connie, maybe you can use that cute Mouse again?!
Can you think of any other M Christmas icons?

A few "M" techniques might be masking, or marbling ...

Have fun!
Don't forget you can always use the Winterfest challenges to get a few Christmas cards made!

You might could used a moose -- I have a moose stamp that has Christmas lights tangled in his antlers. Mittens would work too. I have an idea with mittens! Hopefully I will make a few cards soon.

I’m pretty sure all my cards will be MERRY!  Lol.  That might be cheating. 

My birch tree stencil background is a Christmas card so I will link it here too.

Thanks for the "M" suggestions April.  I have a moose or two! 

Heidi, I just love your birch background with the pen work! 

April, your mouse card is so cute! 

Thanks for linking here as well as to the Winterfest challenge.   It's fun using fest challenges to make Christmas cards, isn't it?

Here are 2 more entries! I used a mitten background and a mouse on one card and a moose image on the other. I was thinking my moose had lights tangled in his antlers, but I was mistaken! That shows you I have not used him in a long time. I am glad I got to use him now!

Great cards April! I haven’t had any Christmas card ideas yet.  And February is almost half over.

Well I didn't do the prompt but here are a few more, I meant to do 2 of the same card but messed up on my measuring so I ended up with 4 instead of just 2 :)

Really nice cards April and Connie!  Thanks for linking up here. 

I just love how you used your mitten stamp as a background for your mouse April.  That stamp was a great find!

Connie, not a bad thing that you got 4 cards instead of 2!  Way to make the most of your measuring mistake.

Everyone is having a great month! 

That is a neat fold Heidi, and a great way to use some of your paper.

Connie, you are making great use of your magazine card kit.  That is such a cute stamp with the mice. "M", yay!  The sentiment stamps are nice too.

Hey, it's Leap Day!  Anyone making Christmas cards today?

I would love to ... granddaughter has taken to 20 minute naps, ugh!  That's not enough time for any of us!  I also didn't bring any Christmas stamps with me.  Maybe I will find an easy watercolor design?  I have watercolors and a brush and just a little bit of watercolor paper left.  I might go out this afternoon ... maybe I will look for a Christmas stamp and some more watercolor paper.
