Happy Hanukkah

 Hello and welcome to a new challenge at Shopping Our Stash!! It worked well for me since I'm still working on holiday cards. The theme is Winter Holidays so lots of choices, Christmas, Hanukkah, Happy New Year and as you see by my title I made a Hanukkah card.  I wanted to use my never been used   Hanukkah die and it was an excuse to get out the layering snowflake die set, 

This is a clear front card, the back panel is a distress oxide ink smooched background, I only used two parts of the die set so there should be a follow-up card with the center snowflake on it. 

I tried to et an angle you could see the acetate.

This is the back of the card where I put a sentiment and a scrap of the smooshed paper.

I am add in this to:

Christmas Kickstart ~~ if it's Christmassy Link it Up

 

Jingle Belles Rock ~~ Wrapping up 2023

Thanks for stopping by today, this challenge is a good chance to make one more Holiday card.

Absolutely NO Patterned Paper Allowed!!

 The challenge at the Jingle Belles is a Cardstock Christmas (I hope Acetate is allowed), so not even a scrap of patterned paper is allowed. I did have this idea last challenge for clear but of course I ran out of time to make it but I was planning on using the idea sometime and it was just sooner than I expected to make it. 

Acetate cards are nearly impossible to photograph The birch trees, cardinal and stag are from Impression Obsession. I was lucky to have reverse dies to make the snowbanks in my stash, first time using them for what they are intended. The sentiment was cut in white and shadowed in black. 

I also photographed it with a white background, at least the reflections are not as noticeable.

A closer look and I added snowbanks to the back for the sentiment and backed it as well to put my logo on it, it also provides stability to the acetate. 

I'm entering this in:

The Jingle Belles Rock ~~ A Cardstock Christmas.

Thanks for dropping by today and have an awesome week.

I Can See Clearly Now....

 My card for today started out with an idea to use a die cut bauble for Christmas Kickstart, then I remembered it's the last day of the month for Rudolph days, so thought a double challenge well thinking about my design I grabbed some left over acetate ( left over from making ethe great-grands Valentines) to make a clear card, and that is the challenge at the Jingle Belles Rock so now added another challenge to a card, rarely do I combine challenges with one card but it just sort of worked out that way. ABC Christmas challenge is also in the mix...D is for Diecuts. I just can't believe it took me all day to put it together, well 75% of the time is always looking for that one die or stamp that is in the "safe" place. 

I die cut this three piece die set at least 1 year ago but I'm thinking 2 or more I made tags and cards as I cut it three times, the snowflake section I used last year. The acetate was cut 4 1/4 X 6 scored at 5.5 and folded and taped to the patterned cardstock from Dollarama. The circle is flat attached and the snow flake is popped up. Since I didn't locate Merry Christmas I used Tis the Season Die. 

I added a bit of patterned cardstock to the  base of the acetate for stability I will add an extra piece of cardstock to the back of the card for the sentiment and to make it more stable. 

Close up of the focal point I added starform glitter dots to the snowflake tips and center .

Because of timing I am adding this to 4 challenges.
