Sweetest Holiday Wishes--Crazy 4 Challenges #10

Ready for the first C4C for November? Well, I think I've found another addiction. Frances is challenging us to do an easel card this week and it was so fun! I'd never done one before, but I'm so glad she made me do it, LOL!! If you haven’t seen these before you can find the directions on how to create one of these here and here.

This month our sponsor is Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps. Kimmie is generously offering a prize this week so head on over to C4C blog and get all the details.

For my card, I pulled out PTI's Holiday Button Bits for this super easy gingerbread man. Finally got a chance to use one of these newest sets! I stamped him on Whisper White with Soft Suede, cut/embossed with a Classic Oval Nestie. and sponged some PTI Vintage ink on the edges. DSP is SU! Christmas Cocoa, and cardstock is Soft Suede and Real Red. I'm not crazy about this year's In Colors but I love Soft Suede. I'll need to stock up on it before it's gone next summer. I used a Martha Stewart border punch and added some tiny red flat backed pearls to add a little accent to that border.

NOW, be sure to check out the samples by the rest of the Crazy 4 Challenges team!
