Snowflake Card

I'm fairly certain I didn't understand the process on this card.  I believe it was supposed to be wet embossed and then some type of inking process.  I need to do more research to understand what I was supposed to do.  I did some inking on this one and I followed the layout as best I could.

I think the card is usable not quite what was requested.

The challenge is to create a RESIST CHRISTMAS CARD using Bonnie's tutorial.
Don't look at the driveway and yard in the background.  I couldn't take a decent picture of this card inside.  It was 95 degrees and I'm taking pictures of Christmas cards.  Welcome to Atlanta.

Here is a close-up of the scallop, snowflake and my inking.

Luminaires

My favorite craft blogger is Diane at Capadia Designs.  I love her designs, she is great at helping when you have a problem or issue with design studio or a project.  She makes you feel like she is paying attention to you specifically.  I was reminded of the Cuttlebug Challenges by Diane and decided to take her up on the project.

I loved this project.  I haven't opened her cut file but I will soon.  I'm curious to see if she also put a bottom on her luminaires.  I decided they would be a little more stable if I put a flap on the bottom and then a base or floor.  It also helps me keep them square.

So, here are my two luminaires.
I feel like I've seen this one before.  It is similar to a number of candle holders and other decorations from Colorado. 

I'm happy to share my .cut file for either of these.

Wearable Art

This challenge was a lot of fun.


YOUR CHALLENGE:
Create a piece of jewelry using your Cuttlebug

I didn't expect to like what I made.  I was pleasantly surprised.  I embossed a piece of blue paper and put it between the glass.  Then I cut some vinyl snowflakes (because it was vinyl I was able to use When Its Cold Outside).

Christmas Ornament

I think this ended up looking good.  In fact, the picture looks even better than the actual ornament.

I embossed a piece of Core'dinations for the bottom of the tin and around the edge.  I used crystal Stickles on the trees and church.  The church is on the inside of the lid with the trees on the tin.  Then I added fake snow inside the tin.  It has a bit of a snow globe effect (which got me thinking about making snow globes).
