CAS Christmas August Challenge - Decorations

Hello everyone.  Christmas in July may be over, but Christmas card making continues at CAS Christmas!  For August this month, the theme is DECORATIONS


This little guy was eager to decorate the tree.  Unfortunately, the Clearly Besotted Merry Christmoose stamp set he came from is now retired, but luckily it was updated to a new 4x6 inch version to include more images and sentiments.  Here’s my super easy CAS card.

Started by stamping the box of decorations with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a stitched rectangle panel die cut from Xpress It cardstock.  Masked it, then stamped the moose.  Masked him and the “wall” and added Pumice Stone distress ink with a blender brush to create the “floor”.


Coloured the images with Copic markers.  The sentiment from the set was stamped in black then with VersaMark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Adhered the panel to a white card base then added Crystal Glaze to the baubles to finish.  Sorry, couldn’t capture their shine and dimensions in the photos.


We are welcoming Lucie (Lucie G Cards) as our guest this month.  She and the design team have some beautiful cards to inspire you to join us HERE.  Hope to see you in the gallery.  Thank you for dropping by.

Absolutely adorable moose and love how you give it a floor with that grey shade! Another superb CAS card and surely the shining and dimensions on the baubles are even better in real life!

Terrifically adorable holiday season greeting!

I just found out last year that my sister adores moose (how I didn't know that already is beyond me, lol!). Upon learning this, I immediately knew that I wanted to make her a moose themed Christmas card and proceeded to do just that.

While I can't say as though I'll do so without fail every year, I do hope to create other moose greetings for her and am definitely inspired on that front by this cuter than cute card.
