Season’s greetings to one and all. It’s the 10th of the month and that means it’s time for our final Waltzingmouse Stamps Christmas Card Challenge for 2011. As we snuggle up to final countdown, it’s time to tally up the number of cards you need to create and get busy because the BIG day is almost here.
The challenge for December is to create the balance of your Christmas card needs, in a quick and easy manner. But just because we are feeling that “joyful rush”, that doesn’t mean quality has to suffer. So Waltzingmouse Stamps challenges you to make one layer cards. Truly, this IS a challenge for me, but with these great Waltzingmouse images, it’s easy…and that’s the whole idea, right?
I’m still trying to use up some scraps of my kraft cardstock that I used for a Christmas album and these little cards measure 5.5 X 3.25.
For my one layered card I stamped the holly image in the red and outlined each leaf using a Copic Marker and to give the image a little dimension, I added three berries from Liquid Pearls. A little tip about using Liquid Pearls, or any dimensional paint: to eliminate those little “Dairy Queen” pointy tops, tap the back of your card with a flicking manner. This will flatten out the points leaving you with a nice rounded circle, minus the points. Be sure to let these dry well before doing anything else with your card.
To highlight my sentiment, I added rows of leaf images top and bottom. Simple and quick, but just right to share my Christmas wishes.
I know you probably have a few cards left to create, so why not join in the challenge and make a few one layer cards…if you dare. That’s right…I’m daring you – even double-dog daring you to join us and join the fun. You can get all the information in this thread on the Waltzingmouse Stamps Forum.
Glad you could stop by in the midst of your Holiday rush. Have a fabulous day!

These are so pretty, Lynn. I love the very modern rustic look.
What a terrific set of cards! I can't believe you cut out all those leaves, though!
Yup, I definitely need to case these! I'm so far behind :) This flu is kicking my patootie! These are wonderful, Lynn! Love the rustic simplicity of them. And who can resist Kraft??? Also love that they are one layer - great for mailing! Perfect, my friend!
Perfect for mass producing! And so beautiful, Lynn!! Love them!
Hi Lynn! These are adorable, love how clean and flat (easy to mail!) they are, just my style.
These are gorgeous Lynn! I'm determined to get with it and join in with the Christmas card challenge at WMS for next year, as I have just run out of time this year!
Lynn - thanks for your comment on my Santa cards, very much appreciated. Thanks so much for organising this challenge - I'm thoroughly enjoying it - off to get a few more done now. Still having a hard time with the acetate!!
Love your cards - the kraft, red and green works brilliantly.
