I had no pre-stamped and coloured images, couldn't make my mind up when I looked at all the LOTV pre-coloured Christmas toppers I have and was in the process of just putting things away when I spied a sheet of Christmas Penny Black Stickeroos. Set the clock ticking and off I went - with this very simplistic looking card as a result:
- a piece of card stock with a very light background of snowflakes, trimmed, scored and folded to DL size
- three Penny Black Stickeroos from the 'Christmas Sparkle' sheet. Tip, I mounted each one onto spare card stock before trimming to size - and also re-rounding the corners of the main image with a corner punch
- stuck all the toppers in place using thin sticky pads
- added three sparkling diamante snowflakes as a finishing touch
Stopped the clock at 19 minutes. Told you I was slow :(
Ha! If I'd added in how long it took me to decide what to do and get everything out ready then you could probably add another 30 minutes that that time!
And this is another card to add to Craftyhazelnuts Christmas Challenge Extra, where it's always 'Anything goes'

Those are some mighty purty stickeroos! I love the purple/blue combination!
ReplyDeleteAmazing Di,
ReplyDeletelove your quick Christmas card
hugs Tamara
Those threes are soooo purty!
ReplyDeleteI think the quickest card I've managed to make in the past couple of years has taken me about an hour... Methinks I need to trim that down just a touch, lol. x
Brilliant idea to use the Stickeroos to do a time challenge with.

Love the feathered colours and the "ghost" trees! Fabulous idea to use stickeroos and love the snowflakes!
ReplyDeleteVery nice...Need to remember to use mine!
ReplyDeleteI am always worried that I will mark the surface of the stickeroos...so I keep them in a filing cabinet where I store my 81/2 x 11 card base paper, and any specialty papers I own.
Seems with this method I always forget about them!
Teehee I'm usually so slow too! I made a card for this challenge a few days ago! 20 mins is hard isn't it!! I managed to even layer mine up slightly in a mad rush haha!!
ReplyDeleteYour card is really pretty and just perfect for Xmas! I loooove them snowflake gems!! Where's did u get them? Yummy! Lol
Hope you're well!

I love all the elements of your 'quick' card. I love those little snowflake gems. I don't think I could manage to make a card in 20 minutes and have it turn out this well! xx
ReplyDeleteWhen in a pickle turn to PB stickeroo's but I am also a pretty slow crafter and even using these it is a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteGreat card though, well done on 19 mins
