Christmas BINGO Challenges DT

NOEL

Hi friends! The last challenge of the year is going live this morning on most of my challenge blogs… it’s hard to believe this year is almost over! Our new challenge launched this morning over at Christmas BINGO Challenges and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for CBC #4 – Anything Goes with Featured Christmas BINGO Card! We have something exciting happening in January 2024 on this challenge blog – we’ll have a new name and we’re opening up our challenges to ALL occasions! This means you are welcome to create a project for ANY holiday, season or occasion using the Featured BINGO Card. You are more than welcome to continue creating Christmas projects if that’s your jam, but feel free to branch out if you want! This challenge, though, is still Christmas-themed, so please keep that in mind.

I used the Sizzix Ornament Fold-A-Long Thinlits (which I’ve had in my stash for a while) to create a pretty fun fold card for this challenge. I went with Column G this time (red, die cuts, pearls and fancy fold). I also used one of my forever favorite paper packs from Hot Off The Press. I’m very pleased with how it turned out!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Natural and the layers and elements from Hot Off The Press Christmas Memories 6×6 papers and CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil cardstock. Of course, as with all fun folds and 3D projects, the most fun is the assembly!

I added a bow fashioned from Hemptique craft cording paired with GKD gold craft cording. Here’s a shot of it completely opened. So pretty!

Hey everybody! Happy Friday! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Christmas BINGO Challenges and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for CBC #3 – Anything Goes with Featured Christmas BINGO Card! I went with Column B this time – black, tag, no stamping, and stripes. I love using tags on cards because they speak volumes but I don’t do it very often… why, I don’t know! I used the Carta Bella Christmas Collection kit for this card and I love how it turned out!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I cut a layering panel from a print in the Carta Bella Christmas Collection Kit and added a scalloped edge sticker from the sticker sheet in the kit across the top of the panel. I cut two tags and rounded the bottom corners. I tied Doodlebug Design lily white doodle twine to the top of the tags and adhered them to the card front with 1″ double-sided foam strip. Super easy!

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip cut from a coordinating paper in the Carta Bella Christmas Collection Kit and a narrow strip of CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock. I added a sentiment from the sticker sheet in the kit which completed the card.

Glittered Merry Christmas

Hi friends! A very Happy Saturday to you! I hope you’re enjoying some nice weather and it’s not too awfully hot where you are! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Christmas BINGO Challenges and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for CBC #2 – Anything Goes with Featured Christmas BINGO Card! I went with column G – fancy fold, ribbon, glitter, and sentiment as main focus. This is a fancy fold (my own design) and it might look pretty plain, but there is a surprise on the inside!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Fairway cardstock along with a layering panel cut from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White. Using the Concord & 9th Gingham Background stamp set, I stamped the layering panel in Stampin’ Up Real Red and Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I added the sentiment and ribbon which were die cut from CutCardStock Silk Glitter Black Prince and Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet black glittered enamel dots.

I told you there is a surprise on the inside… a pop-up snowman which is the fancy fold! Using my Fiskars 12″ SureCut paper trimmed, I made the horizontal cuts to form the pop-up snowman and covered the sections with CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice and Silk Glitter Opulent Opal cardstock. I embellished his hat with tiny Eyelet Outlet green pearls.

I added Eyelet Outlet black enamel dots for the eyes and buttons, and used Nuvo Ebony Black and Ripened Pumpkin Crystal Drops for the mouth and nose. Using snowflake dies in the Sizzix Calendar Months Thinlits, I cut three snowflakes from the Silk Glitter Opulent Opal cardstock.

I wanted to use a specific sentiment from The Project Bin Merriest Christmas stamp set but it was just a tad too big, so I typed it on the laptop and cut it with a My Favorite Things Stitched Square STAX die. The finishing touch was adding a star which I die cut from CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock using The Project Bin Mid Century Christmas dies.

Merry Christmas mini slimline

Hi friends! Happy Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! It’s finally starting to warm up here… for a minute there we thought Mother Nature was really ticked off because we were getting snow while our family and friends in Florida were enjoying the beach! What’s wrong with that picture?! Our very first challenge is live this morning over at Christmas BINGO Challenges and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #1 – Anything Goes with Featured Christmas BINGO Card!

Here’s a short run-down of how this new challenge works: There will be a BINGO Card featured in each challenge and our designers and participants will need to use at least three items in any column under the B, I, N, G or O on a Christmas project. This is not your typical BINGO card where you go up/down, left/right and diagonally… you can only go up and down using the columns. There is a free space in each column that you are welcome to use if you want. You cannot mix and match columns – you can only use one letter. We really hope you’ll check it out and come play with us! I went with column G and made a mini slimline card with red, stitching and a doily.

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from CutCardStock Basis Natural along with a layering panel from CutCardStock Basis Red. Using the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Scalloped Edge Dies, I die cut a panel from a pretty patterned paper from the Carta Bella Christmas Collection Kit. Then, using the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Tri-Frame Dies, I die cut a frame from another Carta Bella paper. I used ‘merry Christmas’ sentiment stickers from the Carta Bella kit. I cut a small Stampin’ Up doily roughly in half and adhered the smaller piece to the bottom left corner and adhered a bow fashioned from a piece of hemp crafting cord. The final touch was adding some small dots of Glossy Accents to the berries on the patterned paper.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock and embellished it with leftover strips of patterned paper and red cardstock used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the Taylored Expressions In & Out Christmas stamp set in Catherine Pooler Black Jack ink.
