Hello stamping friends! So many fun challenges right now. I just had to jump in for the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge this week, woodgrain, kraft and white. YES! I have to admit, it was hard not to use red and black too though! lol
I’m also linking to…
Happy Little Stampers new challenge – Anything Goes with Dies
SSSflickrchallenge – Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge – Emboss it
Craft Stamper, Take it Make it Challenge – Anything Goes
I used SSS dies and stamps on this one with the exception of the woodgrain being from Lawn Fawn and the banner from MFT. I will put links below if you want to know the exact products.
I stamped with the MISTI on the banner and embossed with Versamark and detail white embossing powder. I did use the anti static powder first too…that especially helps with the fine, detail powders.
I edged everything with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool.
I have a second card too! This was actually the first card I made for the challenge. lol I couldn’t stop with just one!
Here I used Memory Box and poppystamps dies. I inlaid the circle snowflake die and the center hanging snowflake dies. So, I’m linking up to a couple challenges for inlaying and also…

Both of my cards today are A2 size and top folding. I added some glitter domes and clear sequins to bling it up a little.
Thanks for stopping by today! Can’t believe it’s Friday already! Time flies when you’re makin’ cards! hehe

Perfection-as usual!!
I see you found some playtime, Pam 🙂
Lovely card. Hope I can squeeze in some time for this challenge, too. X
This seems like such a hard challenge, but you aced it! Love the snowflake inlays! Beautiful cards, as always. 🙂
These Christmas cards are spectacular and exquisitely unique. How clever is your layouts of the snowflake dies. You brought the WOW factor to both these cards by using the wood grain as the background. You’ve got this challenge Pam! Absolutely exquisite!
These care are amazingly beautiful and so unique. Such great work!!!! Amazing!
Two really pretty Christmas cards for some lucky recipients!
Don’t you do this to me — whatever you do – don’t you do this to ME!!!!!

I know it’s wrong to covet, but I do covet that wood grain cardstock. If only I had an embossing folder exactly like that. I do love your stamped wood grain background, too. Really fabulous cards, Pam!
Gorgeous cards, Pam. Love the inlays, and love Kraft card!
Oh my Christmas…making me nervous. But wait an interesting take on Christmas using a Kraft woodgrain…I like Missy Pam…always a great job….waiting to see the poppystamp coming out on the 15th and will then order those sashes….I am sure that is going to be a hit…with more of those.
We are putting Hallmark to shame.
Gorgeous as usual! Interesting take on using the kraft cardstock. So pretty. Great design
What a striking, sophisticated and super clever inlaid die here. Love the wood grain BG that’s certainly chic and a great festive treat. Thanks for playing along at AAA Cards. Sarah
Very nice. Can’t believe you are doing Christmas in May!
Oh how pretty – BUT – Christmas is a LONG way off – too early to think about – wrong – never to early to think about Christmas. I’ve thought about it but that is about it. The cards I want to make are a bit time consuming so I best get a start soon. Have a great weekend.
Wow, Pam! I love the white snowflakes on the wood grain. And you have totally wowed me on those inlaid snowflakes and circle! Both of these are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing them with us at Merry Monday!
Love this Pam! Those dies are awesome, and the white is very striking with the kraft. Thanks so much for joining us at Happy Little Stampers!

wow pam! love the cards! i wouldn’t have thought kraft and white for christmas but you sure made it rock! and i love how you diecut both the circle with the snowflake inside! since inlay is my all time favorite technique, i am going to have to look at my dies a little differently!
