Merry Monday Christmas Challenge: Merry Monday #140 {Snowflakes} & The 12 Months of Christmas Link Up!

This year I've decided to link up to as many Christmas Challenges as I can throughout the year. I'm hoping this helps me to get more holiday cards made so I'm not down to the wire when Christmas rolls around. I really got a late start this past year and although I made cards, I never sent them out! Not a one. That just means I have a head start for this year!

I'm using this card for two challenges: The Merry Monday Christmas Challenge and The 12 Months of Christmas Link Up. I decided to go with the snowflake theme for my card. For the 12 Months of Christmas Link Up the theme Father Time was optional so my card worked for both challenges.

I used a snowflake embossing folder from Cuttlebug for my background and inked it up with Tim Holtz distress ink in tumbled glass. I used a Tim Holtz Alterations Paper Snowflake Die for my glittery snowflake diecut from Recollections Brights Signature Glitter Cardstock. I also used the same paper for my mat and the word Joy cut from another Tim Holtz word die called Script. 

I REALLY love these word dies! I've been checking out all the new products coming out at CHA and I just know I have to have some of the new word dies from Tim Holtz! You can see them here on his blog! LOVE THEM!

Hoping to get some more cards finished for some other challenges today and keep working on a custom thank you card order I'm almost done with. So many challenges, so little time! Thanks for stopping by! 

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge

I've slowly been making a complete mess in my craft room creating cards and tags. When I saw today's email from Merry Monday Challenge I couldn't help but participate. I had just finished the perfect card that fit the qualifications of their challenge: Red, Green & White!

For my mittens I used the negative from a die I had cut for another project. The die is from Memory Box and is called Precious Mittens. 

I used cardstock from Paper Trey Ink called New Leaf and Pure Poppy. Gems are from DCWV. The sentiment is a stamp by Judith. 

Check out all the beautiful cards from the Design Team and all the others in the challenge:
