Challenge #24: Christmas Cards


CHRISTMAS CARDS

You'll find over 140 SVG files/sets available for all your paper crafting projects.
If we have less than 10 entries, the winner will receive this SVG set  CHRISTMAS HEADINGS.  Winner will be randomly chosen from all submissions.

Ready for some inspiration? Let's take a look at what the Design Team created using SVG diecuts.

Carolyn created two similarly spectacular cards using the Christmas Headings file.  She says:  "The top card features a sunburst technique - cut strips and layered on back piece. Once I finished the layering, placed on a black mat; then the mat on card was embossed using my Cuddlebug embossing folder - Dots.  The second card features I printed the song Joy to the World and layered on navy piece of cardstock for matting."  Get the details on Carolyn's blog:    Granny Ma's Creative Blog

Ruth made this super shaped card.  She says: "I'm sure that now that December is here it feels good to be getting lots done for Christmas. I certainly enjoyed creating a card from the Snowglobe file from The Creative Pointe! If you've never made a shaped card from a cutting file, you might want to check out how I chose to make my card over on my blog! I'm sure you have plenty of cards to make for Christmas, so use an SVG and join in the challenge! We'd love to see what you're creating!"  Ruth's blog:  Paper and Musings

Cindy put together an old fashioned looking card using the Holly file.  She says:  "I used the holly as the accent piece to my faux chalkboard sentiment.  I used lots of little tricks to pull this card (inspired from Pinterest) together.  Click over to my blog for the design details."  Cindy's blog:  The Creative Pointe

Shelissa created this fun frosty card.  She says:  "It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, the temperature has dropped and the white snow has come down.  I used my  Pazzles Inspiration die cutting machine to cut out the Snowman Face file from The Creative Pointe and Snowflakes Overlay from the Pazzles craft room."  Check out the details on Shelissa's blog:  Shelissa"s Craft Studio

Octavia created this card which features beautiful banners.  She says:  "I used the Christmas Set. Cutting banners from various papers for my background, adding a few lights, and a bauble cut and embossed on the cuttlebug (used a soda can). Festive was the look I was going for."  Octavia's blog:  T's Corner For Scrappin'

Vicki created a gift card.  She says:  "I decided to start with family Christmas cards for this challenge and created this cool gift card holder for one of my nephews. It's a fantastic idea I gleaned from Cindy at The Creative Pointe. It's the perfect size for holding a gift card, but I typically give cash, and this works for that too!  I wanted this to be fairly masculine and mature enough looking for a 17-year-old. I chose The Creative Pointe's 'Christmas Bells' SVG file to cut a large jingle bell to adorn the front. Visit my blog for all the details...including my adaptation of the template for a pointy-flapped envelope."  Vicki's blog:  Paper Squirrel

Tina created a yummy shaped card using a file from the Gingerbread Set.  She says:  "I wanted to make a fun shaped card with this set and I used red glitter cardstock and sequins from my stash to add a little green to the card, this is a great cut and can be used for so many different ways. I also did the gingerbread Man too, now you’ll need to come over to my blog to see what I did with him. Happy Holidays to you all."  Tina's blog:  Tina's Scrap Corner
 

Carmen used the Poinsettia file to create this dimensional card.  She says:  "I went really simple with this card.  I think that the poinsettias speak for themselves.  Cindy’s Poinsettia file is beautiful and easy to work with.  I added a bit of Liquid Applique to the center and of course some shimmer mist to make them glitter just for Christmas."  Carmen's blog:  Carmen's Creations

Challenge #6: Christmas Cards



Welcome to the sixth challenge on this new challenge blog.  We are so happy you've joined us and can't wait to see what you've created.  The theme for this two week challenge is:

CHRISTMAS CARDS

Prize for this challenge is a $5 Gift Certificate for SVG files
from the Creative Pointe's ON LINE STORE.
You'll find over 100 SVG files/sets available for all your paper crafting projects.
Winner will be randomly chosen from all submissions.

One extra special entry will receive the"Creative Choice" button.


Ready for some inspiration?  Let's take a look at what the Design Team created using SVG diecuts.  For detailed information and/or instructions, please click on their blog link.


Victoria from PAPER SQUIRREL created a card using the POINSETTIA file and said "I have always loved The Creative Pointe's 'Poinsettia' SVG file and finally put it to use on this vintage-y and feminine Christmas card.  It's so easy to make a three-dimensional, realistic looking blossom that becomes a spectacular focal point.  Visit my blog, Paper Squirrel, for the details!"


Carolyn from GRANNY MA's CREATIVE BLOG used the NORTH POLE SIGN SVG file to create this cute and colorful card.  She says:  "I took the North Pole cut file and created a shape card, placing the shadowed blackout of the pole and snowbank to a square and created a 8.5" x 5.5" card base.  Using the pieces from the cut file I layered them onto the shadowed blackout.  I used Frosted Lace Stickles on the pole and snowbank.  Added a cloud from the SCAL3 Library to the inside of card, placing at top behind the pole.  I used a small piece of design paper with snowflakes for the side, and stamped snowflakes on inside of card.  When I get ready to mail card to a friend or family member, I will stamp a sentiment on the inside of card.  Happy Holidays to all..."

Cindy from THE CREATIVE POINTE created an easel card using the SNOW GLOBE file.  She says:  "This is the first easel card I've ever made because I thought it would be a great way to show off the snow globe die cut.  I used acetate to stimulate the glass and if you click over to my blog, I have more photos as well as design details and a link to the simple tutorial I used to create the easel card base."

Pam from MZLAVR2's CREATIONS created this yummy looking gingerbread card using a SVG file from The Creative Pointe's GINGERBREAD SET.  Pam gave these details:  "I added some flocking to the red and white parts of the card, and I hand made the Merry Christmas banner."

Tina from TINA'S SCRAP CORNER created her card using two files from The Creative Pointe's CHRISTMAS TREES file.  She had this to say about it:  "This set has 4 fun trees in it, but I chose two of them for my card--a skinny one and a fluffier one. I did a 5” X 7” card base from a sample pack of cards I got awhile back. I chose a holly style background pattern and the trees were cut from scraps. The sentiment cutout is a free cutting file from svgcuts. com. The sentiment and ribbon border is from Stampin Up. Stickles and a few dollar store gems decorated the trees. The card was fun and easy to put together."


Octavia from T's CORNER FOR SCRAPPIN' created two lovely cards.  The first one shown above used a file from the  CHRISTMAS SET and Octavia gave these details:  "The present was cut from foil paper, then embossed. The silver is WOW glitter. Instead of using the cut ribbon I added curling ribbon for dimension."
Octavia also created the card above using two more files from the same SVG set as the present.  She said:  "I used the light set and sentiment files on the card. Used glitter on the lights. Loved these cuts with this paper!"  I really love how she used coordinating papers to pull the two cards together...very creative!

 
Shelissa from SHELISSA'S CRAFT STUDIO created this card using the CHRISTMAS CANDY SVG file from The Creative Pointe.   On the cover she used her Cuttlebug and chalking.  She added the candy diecuts to the inside for a festive pop of color.
