I made this card for Friday's Free 4 All challenge on Splitcoast...the challenge was to to give up those scissors and let something else do the cutting. You could use dies, punches, Cricut or other machine cut details but no scissor cutting. Since I only have a Cuttlebug, I used it to cut out the doily and rick rack die cuts and used a Martha Stewart punch for the Santa.......to finish it off, I used a button and The Twinery twine.
I made this card for the Crazy 4 Challenges challenge to use circles. The Rubbernecker's Round Ornament #550 and the Happy Birthday Circle #565-20 stamps were both inked up with the Fresh Greens Kaleidacolor ink pad, cutout, and the sentiment with a Garden Green doily was popped up on foam dots. The Twinery Peapod Green twine and a button are the finishing touches.
This is also for a few other challenges:
1. Card Crafter's Circle - monochromatic
2. Craft Punked - birthday/celebration
3. 4 Crafty Chicks - monochromatic
4. Fab 'n' Funky Challenge - go green
Thanks for visiting ...I hope you have a great Sunday!!!

That Santa is so cute and I love the bright green of the second one. Both are gorgeous!
Two fantastic cards, Joan. Love the traditional Christmas look of your first one with your cute Santa. But my favourite is your second one which looks very elegant and beautifully stamped x
Sounds like you had a great time in Waco, it isn't crafting if you don't have stained hands and glitter everywhere. What great cards these are, love the Xmas one with the doily background and love how you did the colors on the second one, beautiful stuff.
Absolutely adorable Christmas card, love, love the rickrack paper trim! Your second card is gorgeous, love the colors!
Both are just wonderful Joan! Love the little Santa and all that red and green. Great cards!

Great cards, Joan! I especially love that birthday card...the colors are so pretty!
What a clever challenge idea, Joan. Your Santa card is very jolly, and your second card looks fab, the 3 different sized circles look great in your design.
