Let’s see what our amazing Design Team created to inspire us!

Jessica created a “celebration in a card”! She used Stitched Fireworks with a splash of color which looks amazing on the black background! For the greeting she combined Oliver’s Stitched ABCs with a Happy Happy Happy coordinating die. The glittery gold cardstock makes this design so special!

Christy was inspired by the colorful ornaments to create a sweet and joyful woodland holiday scene! Those cute squirrels are found in Cheery Christmas along with the ornaments. She combined branches from A Bug Deal with pine boughs and snow from Frosty Fairy Friends! The beautiful sentiment is from Joy to the Woods!

Joyce is welcoming the new year with a super “hoppy” card! She started by stenciling the confetti in the background, then she added those adorable frogs from Toadally Awesome and Don’t Worry, Be Hoppy! For the greeting she combined Oliver’s Stitched ABCs with Happy Happy Happy Add-On!

Samantha made the most gorgeous set of cards featuring alcohol inked backgrounds! She added Snowflake Background Stenciled with White Stencil Paste over those beautiful pops of color!

As a finishing touch, Samantha embossed the sentiment from Snowy Backdrops onto a vellum Fancy Wavy Banner!

It’s a party on Samantha‘s awesome card! A Penguin Party that is! She used the happy colors from the inspiration photo to add lots of cheer to her Happy New Year card! I love how she layered black cardstock with the sparkle cardstock using Peppermint Stripe Backdrop!

Caly captured the pretty bokeh lights in the inspiration board using the Let’s Bokeh set with Yeti ink! The beautifully inked background shines behind the bubbly bokeh pattern! She gold embossed the sentiment on black cardstock to create a dramatic and festive greeting!

Franci‘s Cheery Deer card is so sweet! It sends Happy New Year wishes with Merry Messages in a clean and simple design!

Karin‘s gorgeous design is sure to start the new year off right! The gold splashes on the black background recreate the sparklers in the inspiration board! The sentiment is gold embossed on black; it’s from Magic Holiday Messages! The flowers and vines are combined from Happy Hibiscus and Magic Iris Birdhouse Add-On.

Jenn finishes out this festive collection with her joyful design! She combined critters from Beary Happy Holidays, Yeti or Not and Penguin Party to send happy wishes! She paired a greeting from Winter Big Scripty Words and Winter Scripty Sentiments! All of those awesome stars in the background are found in Outside In Stitched Stars and Puffy Star Stackables along with Hearts and Stars Skinny Tag!

A Cheery Toboggan Christmas with Caly

Hi Friends! It’s Caly here today! The current Color Inspiration challenge is going strong and there’s still time to participate! You have until Sunday, December 20th at 11:59pm PST! I hope today’s card will inspire you! The photo or colors from the challenge inspiration board can help kickstart your project! I’m using the colors for my slimline card today.

I stamped and colored my images from the Toboggan Together and Cheery Christmas sets using Copic markers. These sets go so well together and are oldies, but goodies! The colors I used to coordinate with the Challenge colors from the inspiration board are listed first:
Warm Grays: W1, W3, W5, W6, W7
Blues: B000, B32, B34, B37, B39
Pinks: RV63, B06, RV66, RV69
Yellows: Y21, YR23
Browns: E41, E30, E31, E35, E37
Greens: G43, G46
Red: R39
Blush: R20

After die-cutting all of the images, I added some Glossy Accents to the holiday hats and tree to apply some Prisma Glitter to give it more texture and interest. You can use any adhesive that dries clear – I like Glossy Accents because I can see the coverage best. While that dried, I worked on my background by ink-blending Speckled Egg, Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky Distress Oxide inks on a blank white panel. I used the Stormy Sky just around the edges to darken the top and sides of the panel, and then used that same color to add snowflakes using the Snowflake Trio Stencil.

Next, I die-cut several Birch Trees to color the divots with E31 and E41 ever so lightly. This gives the trees some color. There is a tiny cardinal die that comes with this die set, so I colored it with the R39 marker, then added some black detailing on the face. I then finished the last element of the background by cutting a Slimline Stitched Hillside Border. I used residual ink on my ink-blending tool to apply a bit of color to the top of the hillside piece that I die-cut too.

I stamped my sentiment on the hillside panel, attached the birch trees to the background panel, then applied the hillside border to my background using foam adhesive to give it lots of dimension. The best part for me is to create the scene with all the fun images I colored!

I hope you enjoyed this festive card and are inspired to create! Don’t forget the Color Inspiration challenge ends on Sunday, December 20th at 11:59pm PST! Thank you so much for spending some time with me today! Have a blessed day!
Caly
