Our Creative Corner Challenge is (Santa Claus is Coming! )

The Ladies are asking that you make your art work around the theme of (Vintage) and using something Red, (button, brad etc.)

If you click on the link for Our Creative Corner

They have provided a download to use in your art work, plus Linda Coughin at

The Funkie Junkie has a graphic download too.

For my card, I went with Linda’s graphic, stain the edges with distress inks, and stamped in some faded stained images. Added an old postage stamp.

Mounted it on Terry’s burlap, then added that to a embossed background.

Using pillow ticking, and gingham ribbon for trimming.

My die is from Tim Holtz’s Movers and Shapers (Poinsettia 658266), and the flowers were cut from paper ribbon and gingham ribbon. Stamps used were Stampin’ Up, Fiskars, and Crafty Secrets.

I’m also adding my card to

Angels On High

Today for fun I’m trying a Tim Technique, but (with my own twist), from page 44, and this is what I came up with. I did not cover the whole tag with VerasMark, but ran it over (hit and miss). Oh what fun!!

The Angel Hair didn’t show up as well as I wanted, but believe me it’s there.

 Boy what perfect timing as I just got in new toys!

Linda is asking us to work with Chipboard and Metal for this challenge.

So using Tim’s new Silhouette (Movers and Shapers #658254), I cut the ladies head out of black fun foam trimmed her neck with red ribbon and added a gold brad. Then with another new toy I cut out and embossed Spellbinders D-Lites Die,

(Medallion Four #S2-021).

Using my Embossing Diffuser plates (#657945) and Sizzix folders for the background, which was stained with distress ink.

For the Poinsettias I cut red Christmas ribbon and layered it with white and gold Christmas ribbon. Added gold brads for centers and a gold jingle bell. For my chipboard I used green glitter holy leaves.
