I just love the layers that Shari created on Day 3 of the Holiday Card Workshop.

This time I decided to turn the design sideways.

Love how the circle gives the feeling of an ornament. Here's a close-up of the layers.

Will also enter this into the Less is More : Use Designer Paper in a CAS way Challenge, and the Sketch Saturday Sketch Challenge

For the Color Throwdown Challenge

And using these non-Christmas stamps, it goes to into Day 4 Stretch Your Holiday Stamps challenge

Message Bursts

Therese gives us the inspiration for this week's Muse Challenge

Love these Hero Arts Message Bursts. I cut out the centers so that I could stamp in two colours. Makes them so versatile.

I have mounted the frame and centre square on foam dots, but glued the blue matting directly to the card so there is quite a bit of dimension. Added Frosted Lace Stickles to the Merry sentiment. This is the first card I've done using the new Hero Arts Silver Ink. Lovely - but got to be careful to let it dry.

Entered in the Hero Arts Holiday Challenge.

Oh Christmas Tree

For the Just Us Girls Background of Words Challenge

And the CAS-ology Triangle Challenge

Using the new Hero Arts Christmas words embossing folder, fold-back card with a triangle window.

Here you can see how the tree can turn within the window

And the inside

Beads & 3D Baubles

Inspired by both Jennifer's fold and Stephanie's suspended snowflakes from the Holiday Card Workshop.

It's quite difficult to get a good photo to show the 3D of the baubles. Each is made of 4 circles, folded in half and glued back to back. I diecut circles on the fold so that the baubles would fit in the windows. The last hole has real beads.
