Sing a Song of Christmas, #150 with The Crafty Pad. Free Santa Label Digi too!

Howdy! and Happy Holidays! It's a new challenge with The Crafty Pad. Challenge #150 is "use at least three punches". We offer a prize too! This week we are sponsored by Crafty Emma's and you could win a Crafty Emma's Store £10 voucher to spend in shopping. While you are here visit The Lavender Kitties for a FREE Santa Label digi. Click on the Lavender Kitties Free Stuff button.



My card is counting a cricut as one of the punches and Marvy helped me with the other two. I followed "Case Study" for the layout and I've taken my colors from "Pals Paper Arts". I really missed playing challenges with these folks.

I've used Debbie's digi stamp "Rudolph and Robin" this week (available at The Crafty Pad Design Store) and played with it on a graphics program (Corel). I broke up the image to use the characters independent of each other. I found a nice watermark image of a homey snow scene and placed the digi images "in the snow". With this I made a card liner and punched two holes (through the spine) and ran ribbon through to secure. I also took little Robin and made a little glittered covered medallion stamp out of him for the front of my card. The lace is machine sewn and the bow is handmade. So much fun making this card. I barely got it submitted in time for The Crafty Pad DT group. But I so wanted to play Case Study and Pals Paper Arts.

I hope you are inspired to play our challenge at The Crafty Pad. Drop by and see our fun at play. Merry Christmas!
