CAS Christmas Card Challenge - Mid Month Reminder - Christmas Critters

 I'm here today to share my mid month reminder card for the November CAS Christmas Challenge - this is our last challenge for 2021 - we take a break during December and will return in January 2022 to start all over again!  

Host Barb's theme is Christmas Critters and here is my card. 

 

I used another critter from the set I used on my first card for November - Into the Woods.   

This time I used the moose and the tall thin pine tree that I stamped once in black and then off stamped to the left and right of the first stamping without reinking.  I added little die cut tree light bulbs from the older Tree-Rex die by Cheery Lynn Designs to his antlers and a white star to the tree as Mr. Moose is celebrating the season in style!  I also added some snow using a white POSCA Fine Tip Pen - taping the end of it with a heavy plastic ruler to get this fine splatter.

The sentiment is from Simple Strips Christmas, cut with Simple Strips Die, both  by Taylored Expressions and it's up on foam dots.

We'd love to see your Christmas Critters!   You have until 11/24 to link up your CAS designs!  You'll find the challenge here.

Sharing some Christmas!

Today I'm sharing some Christmas cards that I made this year for various challenges over at Splitcoaststampers.  Supplies are listed beneath each card.

I used an older Nestability Layered poinsettia die for this first card.  I colored the pieces by smooshing them onto my craft mat where I had rubbed Salty Ocean Distress Ink spritzed with water. I layered the pieces with a single foam dot in the center of each layer.  The lovely circle die is from Penny Black.
