Look What "Santa" Brought Me

A special "Santa" gave me a delightful new punch for Christmas. It's a Martha Stewart Anywhere Punch. I used it to create the beautiful background on this card. I used two other punches to create layered snowflakes then hung them with gold trim from the top of the card.  I matted the red background and snowflakes on dark green cardstock and finished the card by adding three small bows. I am linking this card up for the current challenge at Jingle Belles. The challenge:  USE NEW CRAFTING GOODIES to create a card.

Supplies:
Cardstock: DCWV, Fox Paper Co.
Punches: Martha Stewart Anywhere, EK Success, Emagination
Gold trim
Adhesive: Scotch ATG, Scrapbook Adhesives Foam Squares

Let it Snow!

This card was inspired by a challenge to use Washi Tape. When I first saw the challenge, off I ran to be creative. The card came together very quickly, but I had to put it aside before  posting it because something more pressing came up. This morning I discovered it still sitting on my craft table and photographed it, only to realize I had forgotten which blog was offering the challenge. So, to save a lot of time trying to look through my very long blog reading list, I'm just posting it.

Supplies:
Cardbase: Paper Studios
Cardstock: piece of scrap white cardstock
Snowflake punch: Tonic Studio
Decorative tape: My Mind's Eye, Indie Chic
Adhesives: Scotch Quick Dry, Scrapbook Adhesives Foam Tape
