Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge #90

Hello friends.  Still trying to get caught up with Christmas cards, so playing along with the gals over at the Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge where they have a very colorful and sweet mood board to inspire us!


I was inspired by ALL the colors and the sweet treats on the top left photo, and came up with this card using PFS's Holiday Cookie Jar set that was gifted to Michele and I by our sweet friend TK!


 I made this a shaped card by cutting the back piece on a folded piece of white cs and moved the die up just a bit so it didn't cut through the fold when I die cut it.  The outline of the jar was die cut with Cherry Cobbler cs.  For the cookies I hot foiled all the images with Speckled Prism foil, and then colored them with the coordinating stencils.


Here's a bit of a side view so you can see how the card opens for the inside sentiment.  The little tag at the top with the "very merry" is an oldie from PTI called Tiny Tags.


Here's a closer up of the cookies and hopefully you can see some of the sparkle from the foiling better.  I finished with some red glitter Stickles on the holly berries and also a few red glitter gems (PFS).  This was so much fun to make that I made another one in a different color frame...


Basically the same except for the different colored frame on the cookie jar and clear gems (PFS).  I left a sentiment off the front of this one and just put it on the inside.  I made another one that I turned into a shaker, but it didn't turn out quite like I was thinking it would, and I have another one die cut in kraft with white embossing that I just haven't had time to finish yet.  Truly a fun little set to play with, so thank you SO much TK for sharing with Michele and I!

There's lots more inspiration from the DT that you can find right HERE, so check it out and play along to get started on those Christmas cards.  This challenge is open till Thursday, July 3rd @ 8:00PM


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