CCAYR September Challenge

Oh my...where does the year go?  It's already September and that means fall will be here quickly, the children are back to school and the summer is over soon :(.  The challenge this month at CCAYR (Christmas Cards All Year Round) is to make a card that is any shape other than the standard (4 1/4" x  5 1/2").  It can be square, rectangular, circular, big, small, whatever, but not the standard size. You card must also have gold, silver, crystal or pearl on it somewhere as well.  There you have it and here is what I came up with.



 I decided to make some little 3" x 3" gift cards to go with my Christmas gifts this year. Why buy gift cards when I have everything already to make them?  I made duplicates of each of these to use during the holidays.

I used red polka dots dp from Recollections and the Holly Jolly is a cardboard sticker from K&Company. There are 2 gold pearls in the center of the button or holly berry.

The stamp is from the Winter Wonderland stamp set by Fiskars.  I added the gold pearl to the center of the snowflake.  Trimmed the front panel by 1/4" and added a scalloped border on the bottom.

A snowflake sticker by The Paper Studio that I added pearls to, a strip of snowflake patterned paper, a stamped sentiment and a scalloped border make this one quick and easy to duplicate.
