It’s a fun new challenge at As You See It!  This challenge is fill in the blank!  What brings you holiday joy?  For me, although there are many things, my answer is snow!

I stamped a variety of snowflakes in different blues and then ran my card thru my linen plate.

I added this fun sentiment!  I love snow, glitter not so much but I do love nature’s glitter!

Finally, I added a few stars and was done!

I started with a die cut of some appropriately colored pattern paper.  Then I stamped my brush tree and die cut.  The tree is from the PTI Joyful Christmas stamp set from 2015.

I stamped the sentiment and then punched using my washi tape punch.  The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted Message Me from 2016.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  The challenge is to use shades of blue and make a card in ten minutes or less.

I started by running my blueberry bushel card base thru my linen plate.  Then I ran the white card front thru the linen plate and die cut the stitched rectangle.

I stamped the feathers in three shades of blue – marina mist, bashful blue and soft sky.  The sentiment was stamped in blueberry bushel.  I adhered the card together and then decided it needed some bling.

With just over two minutes left, I thought I had plenty of time to put some bling on there.  Well, I didn’t!  I had just found what I wanted to use when the timer went off.  So the card was done with 0 seconds left and no bling!

Welcome to a new As You See It Challenge!  It is a recipe challenge and you must use twine, a tag, a leaf, a die cut and make it a get well card.

I knocked off three items by die cutting a tag and a leaf.  I left a couple of spaces in the leaf so that you could see the white background. 

I wrapped some twine around the base and added a bit of twine to the tag.  Then I die cut a strip of white so that I could put my get well wishes on.  I put everything together and was done.
