More Pink for Christmas!!

Hey friends - I hope your week is off to a great start!! I'm popping in with my third and final entry for the January Christmas Kickstart Challenge #106 to use pink. It seems, once I got going, that I couldn't stop thinking pink!!


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Lawn Fawn Petite Watercolor Wishes;
Paper Studio ombre pink A2 card & 
shades of pink cardstock; scrap of black
Stamps with Dies - Art Impressions Winter Wonderland Bundle
Dies - Memory Box Timberland Collage
(retired but reimagined as Thicket Collage);
Birch Press Designs Merry Christmas Dapper Script;
Other - Copic Markers; foam tape; white gel pen

I got the MB tree background die as a gift with a Poppystamps order - thanks, Dave! I had ordered a bunch of stuff post Christmas and have been "processing" it onto magnets, then making test cuts. Finally got to the tree window. Once I cut it in white, I decided to back it in pink and add a deer for CKC. Colored the deer with Copics and assembled to an A2 card. A fave BPD sentiment had finished the card until I "processed" a new Poppystamps frame set. I had just run test cuts of all the frames and the biggest one was pink. Decided to try it on my deer card - loved it! What about you?

Since my trees and frame are newly used, I'll add this card to Darnell's January NBUS Challenge #82. I will also play at the January Merry Little Christmas Challenge #66 where Anything Christmas Goes & at Creative Crafters #96 where Anything Goes.

That's it for today, friends! I mentioned being busy crafting - want to know what? Starting January 1st and going to the 24th, I'm using the corresponding day's item from the Spellbinders 2025 Advent Calendar. I opened them faithfully until I left for my holiday trip, then did the rest when I returned home on New Year's Eve. Didn't make a thing with them in December so decided to get busy on New Year's Day. Not saying I made a card every day - just used the item. I'll begin sharing what I made once I'm done.

Hope to see you back on the 21st when I post for Die Cut Divas. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a crafty day!!

Those wonderful trees frame your pretty little reindeer perfectly! This is a delightful card, Linda. I like the ornament hanging from the antlers and her cozy outfit!

Yep, it's official - pink is addictive! This is just stunning, and I love the deer's woolly pullover and scarf so much. Thanks for joining Chris and me again, again at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge, Jo x

I missed this one! Pretty tree frame die cut, I can see that being very useful. Nice to see your deer has extra winter warmers with her sweater and scarf — she might need them at the moment, brrrr! Hope you’re staying warm.
