CAS Christmas Jan. 2021 - SILHOUETTE

Hello friends and welcome back to a NEW year at CAS Christmas Challenge where our host this month is Julia and she would like to see a SILHOUETTE on your Christmas card.


This was an easy challenge for me this month as I had a brand new die I had just bought last month and hadn't had a chance to use it yet, so perfect timing!  It's a Sizzix die from Tim Holtz called Santa's Helper and here's how I used it as a silhouette:


It doesn't get any more perfect in my mind than this sweet little elf die cut in black and helping Santa with the gifts!  


I used a Penny Black background stamp called Christmas Story for my background, stamped in Smokey Slate ink and then matted with a piece of Real Red cs for a pop of color.  CAS and easy peasy!!  

Now it's your turn and we can't wait to see YOU in the gallery with your CAS Christmas cards using a SILHOUETTE!!  For more inspiration, check out what the rest of the DT and our Special GD Pat came up right HERE, and then play along with us...we'd love to help you get a head start on this year's Christmas cards!  This challenge is open till the 24th.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

  2. Oh yes - this is the perfect die for the challenge Marcia - so fun with the text background and the one little gem on the gift - I bought this guy last year and have still not used him - I bought his cousin the skater this year and used it once.... (!) your card has inspired me to get them both out for next years cards! xx
