Christmas Drink with Cinnamon Sticks and Christmas Trees

Peace on Earth has a mood board full of Christmas drinks (see end of post).  I chose the bottom right image and used a stamp that has a mug with marshmallows, cinnamon sticks in the drink and on the ground around it just like in the image.

I coloured the image with coloured pencils, trimmed it with a deckle edged die, and bordered it with red dotted dp.  I created the background panel with a stencil and Distress ink close in colour to the green pencil I used in the image.

Here's our Peace on Earth mood board.  Please head over to Peace on Earth to see what the rest of the Design Team were inspired to create, and then link up your creation.

Paper - white cs, red dotted dp

Gifts with Vertical Sentiment and a Starry Tag

The ABC Christmas Challenge is U for Uncluttered (i.e. CAS) and / or V for Vertical.  I've made a CAS card that has a vertical sentiment..  

Stamped, coloured with coloured pencils (including a silver, red, and green metallic pencils for the ribbon and bow, with a small vertical sentiment, and framed with a pierced dot frame die, cut twice and glued together for more dimension.

Another Christmas card for Inkspirational "Seeing Stars":

I sponged a tag with three Distress inks, then flicked some water droplets on it. When dry, I stamped "joy" and "peace" in gold and I took my Memory Box Stardust stencil and sponged over it with Golden Glitz ink. I stamped the "star light, star bright" sentiment with dark blue ink on gold shimmer cs and heat embossed with clear ep. I cut it out with a star die and popped it up with dimensionals.

I added baker's twine to the top of the tag and attached the tag to a white card base.

It's hard to read in the photo, but the sentiment says "Star light, star bright, a wish for peace on earth tonight".

Cozy Winter and Santa Horses

Time Out's new challenge is "Cozy" and Shopping our Stash's challenge is "Time for a Hot Drink".

I love that sentiment - as much as I love summer and my garden, I also love being curled up with a blanket, a book, and, in my case, a cup of tea.

Stamped and coloured with coloured pencils, trimmed, popped up on fun foam on a wintery dp background.

And a second card, this one for Color Hues "Red and Black".

The horses are stamped in black and left uncoloured except for using a red Tombow marker to colour their Santa hats.  It's trimmed with a stitched rectangle die and bordered in red cs.  I added Fun Flock to the brims and pompom of the hats, and a thin line of glitter on the snowy top of the fence.

A Swag with Pine Cones and Christmas Cups

For Sparkles Christmas Challenge "Christmas Flowers or Foliage" and for My Time to Craft Christmas "Pine Cones":

The image is coloured with coloured pencils, it's trimmed with quite a bit of white border around it, then thinly matted with green, and added to a red card base.  I put the sentiment strip on a diagonal so that it stayed within the green mat.

My second card is for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown "Christmas Cup" and Sweet Stampin' "Tartan or Plaid".

When I was tidying my craft room recently, I came across some stamped, heat embossed, and die cut Christmas cups from an old SU set.  So when I saw the 52CCT challenge, I had the perfect opportunity to use them.  To fulfill the tartan or plaid challenge for Sweet Stampin', I pulled out some tartan ribbon and ran it across my focal panel to represent a Christmas table cloth for my cups to sit on.
