CAS Christmas Card Challenge Mid Month reminder

There's still time for you to join in with us at CAS Christmas Card Challenge and make a Christmas card with some Holiday Treats.


Birgit is our Guest Designer this month, Birgit and the rest of the Design team have created some amazing cards for your inspiration.

Here is my card, I used this really cute dog with his rawhide candy cane from The Old Island Stamp Company and the perfect sentiment from My Favorite Things (Happy Pawlidays)

I stamped him on Mixed media and coloured him with pencils, I put some glossy accents over his eyes but you cant see them in the photo. I used a postage stamp die to cut the image out and mounted it on kraft then dark brown


I hope you liked the card and I would love to hear from you.

Adorable! You know I love it. I keep looking at this challenge. Too many irons in the fire right now when it comes to stamping. I love the theme, but especially this dog!
