WT874 ~ A Non-Traditional Christmas ~ {12/09/2021}

[Cook22]

Happy Thursday to you all. I'm here with Cathy's challenge for this week, which is along the lines of her October one to use a stamp or die in a way other than intended. This week we are using non-holiday stamps, dies, embossing folders, stencils or colors to make a Christmas card, so pull out your thinking-hats and get stamping. Already got this Christmas sorted? Then start your stash for next year.

Upload your creation with the keyword WT874, and with intermittent ongoing site issues, it's especially advised to add a link to the thread here.

Here's a link to our
WT874 A Non-Traditional Christmas gallery

Here's a link to my sample:

If you're not sure how to add a link, here's how:
1. Open 2 windows or tabs: one for your card in the gallery, and one for this thread
2. In this thread, click on reply and type anything you want to show before the link.
3. Go to your card window. Highlight the address for your card. (It says www. splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto..... and so on)
4. Click EDIT. Click COPY
5. Go back to this thread. Click PASTE.

Thanks to the team for their inspirational samples: Lisa and Jayne got imaginative and inky.

Ha - I am so behind, I am still working on this year's cards . . . . I went with no traditional colors.

Excellent idea for a challenge! I did color, which is the easiest, although I don't feel that any color is non Christmasy:

Such a great challenge Sabrina- thank you! I combined this with friday's challenge- using the word Joy. My inspiration for my color scheme was the card A Shaker of Joy- I used the shaving cream technique and watercolor pencils for my background, fussy cutting my critters and adding a hand lettered sentiment. Here's Joy to All

I used a set of dog stamps and turned a birthday hat into a Santa hat to make a pun-inspired card:
