Hi there crafty friends! Welcome to the March 2021 Get Cracking on Christmas Challenge. This is a fun monthly challenge that was started by my friend Jenn Shurkus to challenge people to work on their Christmas cards all year long. I know that my biggest problem last year was addressing ALL the envies, and I also ran out of cards so I was making them at the last minute too. So I plan to do a dozen envelopes each month as well. We have been doing this challenge for a few years and it really helps me to get out those supplies that should have received a little more love during the holidays.
This month I have a fun card using some Simon Says Stamp Exclusives that I NEVER EVEN OPENED last year. I stamped and colored the Santa’s Sleigh Ride set in a non-traditional color palette with a simple sentiment. I stuck to pinks, brown and blues (and added a tiny bit of green for the trees).
For the sky, I blended Distress Oxides in Speckled Egg and Chipped Sapphire. I went over them with the Falling Stars stencil and some Gina K Glitz Glitter Gel in white…these are the perfect tiny starts for this type of background. Once the background was dry, I added some glitter to the cut out houses using a Quickie Glue Pen and Distress Rock Candy Glitter. Then I foam taped them to the background. To finish my card, I cut the CZ Design Peace die out of pink cardstock and also adhered it with foam tape. Plain, simple and this one would also be easy to create as a batch of cards over a few days!
