This is my sample for CC700. I am one of the hostesses, and I selected the colors from CC668. Those colors are sweet sugarplum, mint macaron and choc chip. Dessert Option for my challenge is something new. Check out this thread to get all the details on what we are doing for CC700.
I like making Christmas cards with non-traditional colors. It presents a challenge that I like to take on. Not that I am competitive or anything (lol)!
My cute little snowman peeking out of the teapot is part of the newly released Christmas dies from CottageCutz. I cut him in the challenge colors. Now you probably see a darker green and a red in this design. Stampin'-Up is calling this dark green (mossy meadow) and the red (merry merlot) neutral colors with their color revamp. And you know neutrals are ok to use along with the challenge colors.
My background designer paper is from the Stampin'-Up "subtles" collection. The sweet sugarplum oval is also a die from CottageCutz- part of their nested stitched eyelet collection.
To complete this card, I added mint macaron ribbon and a bow plus I scattered some sweet sugarplum enamel dots. That's my sample
Hope you can play along with us this week as we celebrate CC700. We are offering up some awesome prizes for this milestone event.

Mary, your snowman is absolutely adorable! His hat is the lid to the teapot, right? What a clever and cute die! Love the layout and the lacy oval, too!

Such a cute card Mary! The colors are perfect and I love how the ribbon and background are both striped but go together well because of the scale difference.
