Christmas Card Challenge - No Red, No Green

I came across this Christmas Card Challenge at CREATE blog. The challenge is to Create a Christmas card with NO RED or  GREEN.

Here's my take on this Challenge. I used Christmas Clear stamps by Inkadinkado and stitched a fabric on the card.




 I made a paper flower and adorn it with button and twine. 



Are you seeing any RED or GREEN? I hope I did justice on the NO RED and NO GREEN challenge.

Here's my take on  Susanna's Sketch Challenge of Paper Craft Planet


I made an Easel Card card with Kanzashi flower in the middle. You can find my Kanzashi Flower Tutorial here


I love this Sketch Challenge because it is simple and easy and there's plenty of room to play around. 



I added some Yo-yos as embellishments.

Christmas Stockings Gift Card Holder

I needed some Gift Card Holders for Christmas gifting, luckily I cased this template from Claire Brennan. These cute gift card holders are fun to do. Not to mention that they are very easy to make too. I did not even used any glue here. I just ran them through my sewing machine, put some embellishments and Voila! I got my 3 nieces and 1 nephew gifts covered ! How easy is that?!



 Here's how it looks in the inside. I just inserted a gift card but you can always add more Christmas sentiments if you want too. 


  I love the polka dots and the Christmas designer paper used here. 






 I am having trouble with my camera here, I think it is time to upgrade..Santa, Hint Hint!
