Christmas and Halloween In The Pink

by Joanne James18. October 2023 19:38

I was feeling a little under the weather today, so I retreated to my craft room to play along with a couple of challenges that enabled me to use up some of my retired bits and pieces!

First up a pink Christmas card to play along with the ladies over at Jingle Belles that uses the current Try Stampin' On Tuesday layout:

The retired Whimsy and Wonder designer paper was perfect for a pink Christmas card and a couple of stitched snowflakes and sentiment from the 'Merry Snowflakes' stamp set, which I heat embossed in silver - you can see that a bit better on the photo below:

My second card is a 'dies only' card for the current challenge over at Addicted to CAS that uses three of the four colours on the Color Dare board (all except Glacier) that is also for the 'Anything Spooky' theme over at AA Cards:

I made my ghost using the retired Boo To You and Fall Fun Framelits; it's for my daughter, hence the pink card base and I added the 'Boo!' with foam for a little added depth:

I added googly eyes and a flower for a feminine touch, although I think this makes my ghost rather more sweet than spooky!

A couple of cards that used up some of my retired stash, so no supplies list today. It is really dark and stormy here today too with the arrival of Storm Babet, so it made photographs a little trickier too - hopefully still a few creative ideas for you though!

Enjoy your day and I'll be back on Friday with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!

Great layout. The pink and silver is an unusual, yet striking, Christmas combo. Very pretty indeed.

While the snowflake card is quite lovely, the little ghost card has my heart! Oh, my goodness. The googly eyes & little flower did me in! SO CUTE! Thanks for sharing at Color Dare.

Your pink snowflake card is just stunning! I love pink for Christmas (too bad I have so many men in my family! lol). And the ghost card is truly darling. I love the CAS design, which I find quite hard to do. Thank you for sharing your talents at Color Dare!
