Yippee it's Friday - this means the weekend is almost here AND it's time for another Christmas creation! Today the challenge at
CSAYL is
OUT OF THE BOX - create a card that is NOT a square or rectangle. I decided to make a circle card - I don't know why I've been fighting trying this...it was much easier than I could imagine!

I used my circle cutter from Creative Memories. You could really use anything depending on the size you wanted. I have a Coluzzle that would have probably worked as well. Anyway, I just folded my 8.5x11 sheet of green cardstock in half, lined up my circle template, making sure that I left an area for the fold, and cut. Easy peasy! I'd like to know what people do to have scallop circle cards though - my Spellbinder dies aren't as big as I'd like my card to be.
By using my Creative Memories circle cutter I then could cut papers that fit easily (I just used a different color blade with the same template). For my image I used an angel from a retired set by The Angel Company called Fall & Winter Whimsy. The sentiment is from the Label Lingo set (also from TAC) which is available as a Level D set. I colored the image with pencils and OMS on ivory cardstock. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how it turned out!

I wanted to add some umph to the card and saw that the challenge at
Crazy 4 Challenges (
C4C27) was Paper Piercing. It worked PERFECTLY with my card. I used a Bazzill stitch template to make the swirl patterns. I also pierced around the image. SO WHATCHA THINK?
I hope you will give this challenge a try! If you do, just visit the
CSAYL blog and link your creation using Mr. Linky. The DT members vote on the creations and the top winner(s) are then asked to be a guest DT. So whatcha waiting for..COME ON AND PLAY!!
