I used Punch Pals and Contempo Alphabet sets & replaced the "O" in "Noel" with a snowflake to jazz it up. The colors are a bit non-traditional, Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay instead of the traditional red & green for Christmas. The snowflakes & poinsettias are highlighted with Dazzling Diamonds, and the card is accented with White Grosgrain and Pretty in Pink Satin ribbons. You can view the original challenge here:
This is what the card looks like after the leaves have "fallen":
For this card I used the same layout & techniques as the Christmas card, I just changed the colors to Elegant Eggplant, Certainly Celery and Basic Black, and changed the image to "Ghostly Greetings" from the Twick or Tweet stamp set. 
This is the card we'll be making at the next Christmas Card Stamp-a-stack next Tuesday. It uses Sock Monkey & Sock Monkey Accessories, and Teeny Tiny Wishes. Colors are Real Red, Garden Green, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla and Kraft. TFL!
I just love these new stamps from Stampin' Up!...Extreme Guitar and Extreme Elements! Very cool, and such a change from the flowery & cutesy stuff! For this card I used Soft Suede, Always Artichoke, Real Red and Very Vanilla cs; Mellow Moss, Always Artichoke, Real Red and Basic Black classic ink; Real Red marker; Notebook & Corner Rounder punches; sponged the edges; and used a Top Note die cut to mask & create the frame. Original challenge and directions to make the masked frame can be found on Splitcoaststampers.com here:
Ok, so the title comes from the fact that the idea for this card just "popped" into my head last night as I was laying in bed...I couldn't sleep until I got up & pulled out all the supplies I'd need to make it this morning! Here's the details: Carstock & ink colors are Sage Shadow, Soft Suede, Blush Blossom, and Very Vanilla. I used Extreme Elements, Snow Swirled and All Holidays Stamp sets...Top Note die for Big Shot and Eyelet Border Punch. Snowflakes were stamped w/Versamark, then embossed with white ep, ribbon is white grograin colored with Sage Shadow ink, and all edges are sponged with corresponding ink color. I think that's it...TFL!
This card is for today's Ways To Use It challenge on SCS...the challenge today was to use pleats on a card. I decided to try making a pleated 3-d flower...it took a few tries to get it right! The flower is a 1 1/4" x 12" strip of dp, then punched with the scallop edge punch, scored between each "hump" of the scallops, accordion folded, ends attached w/sticky strip, then "squashed" into flower shape...easy as that! The leaves are small oval punched, then run through the crimper. Stamps used are Pocket Silhouettes, and colors are Old Olive, Rose Red, Regal Rose. TFL!
For sketch challenge 240 on SCS... I used Punch Pals stamp set; Garden Green, Real Red, Mellow Moss and Whisper White cardstock & ink; Word Window, Scallop Circle, 1 3/8 Circle, and Eyelet Border punches; highlighted images with Dazzling Diamonds. Original sketch challenge can be seen here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=451996
For today's Ways to Use It challenge on SCS... WT225 Out of the Box. The challenge was to use corrugated cardboard somewhere on your card. For this card I used A Beautiful Thing and Fresh Cuts stamp sets and the new "In Colors" Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede ink and cardstock, along with Very Vanilla cardstock and Creamy Caramel ink. The swirls were cut out using the Swirls Scribbles Sizzlet die and Big Shot machine. I used the eyelet border punch to create the lace trim at the bottom, and the photo corner punch to make the photo corner on the top left of the card. The edges of the various layers are distressed using the distressing tool in the cutter kit, and sponged with coordinating ink. TFL!
