Title: Christmas All Year - August 2020
Post by: Iring on August 03, 2020, 01:36:42 PM
There were so many beautiful cards made in July ... keep that mojo flowing!

This month's letter is "R"

Maybe you can use rhinestones?  Red shouldn't be too hard to use, haha!
As far as techniques go, thing about repeat stamping, ho, ho, ho!

Hmmm, what else can you think of in terms of icons, or supplies, or techniques?

Please upload your cards to the Christmas All Year 2020 Album and link up here.

I made Christmas card, but doesn’t fit R.
But it’s Christmas, and I did generation stamping on it
How about Really full tree!  Cause that is my real tree always looks like with too. Many ornaments!

Hi Sheila!  The prompts are always optional, but I think Really Full Tree is just perfect!  Your card turned out wonderfully, and does have the Really Full Tree vibe!  Great use of Heidi's challenge too.

Here are my entries. I went with reindeer on all my cards. I have enough Christmas cards already but I still want to do the challenges. I will just have more to choose from when Christmas gets here and have some left over for next year! :smile:

Reindeer is the perfect R word.  I'm glad you're still playing even though you have enough Christmas cards already made.  WooHoo!

There are 5 stampers collaborating on youtube to create a "bank" of 20 Christmas card ideas for 2020.

Thanks for your challenge, Cindi!  I made 5 of this image (Reindeer), some with different patterned paper backgrounds.

Pretty card, Nora!  Good for you coloring 5.  It looks like a nice image to color.  I should do the same ... choose an image, color up 5 or so and then mix and match the background papers ... because heaven's knows I have enough paper!  Thanks for linking your wonderful "R"eindeer card.

Pretty cards Nora!  I can see why you had to have that snowman die!  So cute and doesn't require much of anything else!  It makes the card!

Finally!  I finished some Christmas cards.  Daria RAK'd me two of these ornament die sets and I liked them so much I bought another overlay that also fit.  They are from Poppystamps.  It's been fun playing with them and I know there is so much more I could do ...

I finished a total of 14 cards today.  Twelve using the design I did for my Creative Challenge this week, then two more using up some extras I made while experimenting.

The first twelve (http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pid=5130#top_display_media).
Retro solid ornament and Wireworks overlay.

And two more (http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pid=5139#top_display_media).  These use a larger solid die in the Retro ornament set and the Basilica overlay fits it.

I didn't think I used the "R" prompt until I realized the die set is called "Retro".  I'm going with that!

Nora, I was think about your snowman die card.  I can’t help but think what (Nichol Spohr for Spellbinders)
Would do with this die.  I watch her on utube, die the tiniest bits to fill in holes in the dies.
I like to work with tiny stuff(  I paper quill which is tiny). But is nothing like what she does with the die cuts.
If I wanted color on the scarfs I would put colored paper behind or fill the hole with glitter glue or marker, not die cut I tiny piece and paper piece it in.  Oh well different things for different people!

Here is another submission for Christmas Cards All Year 2020.  I made two of this image - a very old image, and it was fun to use it once again.

P.S.  Yankee, I enjoyed your comment on the Snowman Die!  This was the first time I played with this, and I have other ideas about what to try with it yet. I did like the one I saw using different colors for some of the different pieces.  Thank for your comment!

Well I managed to get one more card made with the plastic wrap background that didn't turn out well and made it into ornaments, only two Christmas cards made this month, hopefully I can knock out a few more this next month, I have some new dies to play with,

I really like that ornament card made with your plastic wrap background!

I did make some plastic wrap backgrounds, I just haven't done anything with them yet ...

I can't believe it is Labor Day weekend already.  I'm off to post September's challenge!
