12 Days of Christmas Sale Meets the Color Dare!

TGIF!!!  Or maybe I should say, TGICDD?  Because it IS Color Dare Day!  ;)

It is also the 6th day of my 12 Days of Christmas Sale, so let's get on with our latest challenge so you can see today's deal!

Oh, man, was a biiiiiiit nervous when I sat down to think this one out since I had been out of the craft room for so long.  I was coming off a loooong week of taking care of my hubs and his brand new cyborg hip, and I had almost no motivation to craft at the moment, let alone make something with Barn Red.  I decided to use the houndstooth pattern from the retired Dakota Paper Packet.  All of a sudden, while I pieced together Kraft CS and some embellies, I noticed the zip strip from the paper edge...and the rest is history!

I have no idea why it is so hard to edit Kraft CS...so bear with me.  Not only was I back in the crafting saddle again, but Santa was back in HIS too!  I LOVE THIS!!!!  The tag shape itself is found on the Cricut Artiste Collection.  I used several different Close to My Heart products to pull this tag together with a western theme.  Some are retired, unfortunately, but others soon will be too!  This white hemp I tied at the top around a mini clothes pin will be going soon.  I added just a bit of the silver washi on the clip that I had colored with the silver marker.

I used my favorite stamp from the Santa Clause My Acrylix to make the sleigh and reindeer in Barn Red.   I layered the zip strip, silver washi tape, Licorice Opaques, and retired Milepost Shapes Star underneath the image.

I love the distressed look of using our silver marker on the star!  :)  How about you?

Are you ready to get back in the creative saddle again?  Just whip up a creation using barn red or a similar red with all neutrals, and link up with us over at the Color My Heart Color Dare!

NOW, are you ready for today's SALE???  :)  Here you go!

 

That is right!  ANY order from my website today earns my customers a free monogram stamp!  Just place your order on my website HERE,  and then let me know which letter monogram to send you!  It really is that easy!  :)  Happy Friday to you!

Cranberry Color Dare Take Two!

I promised to show you my second card that I made for this week's Color Dare, so here it is! 

This one is super Clean and Simple.  A bright red Cranberry ribbon adorns my cold friend's neck, and his arms are taken from the branches I trimmed off of last week's post!

Did you spot the color that I paired up with Cranberry?  It is the Sunset orange for his little carrot nose!  :)

What color are you going to pair up with Cranberry and your neutrals for this challenge?  You have one day left!  Links have to be up over at Color My Heart by tomorrow at Noon CST!  :)
