Frosty Wishes for Color Throwdown & Just Us Girls

Hi and happy Sunday evening,

For all of my stamping friends in the U.S., I hope you are having a fab Labor Day holiday long weekend. (I'm lucky, as being retired, all of my weekends are long ones. :)

I have two cards to share, made for two different challenges. These share the same postage stamp theme that is super popular right now. Both of these are holiday cards. I'm kind of behind on my holiday card stash, so I've decided when I make one for a challenge, I need to make at least two cards.

First up is a card made using the colors from Color Throwdown. The colors this week are pink, yellow and green. I've used one of the holiday postage stencil sets from Waffleflower to make this card.

Card two is made using the other Waffleflower holiday postage stamp collage sets, but here, I didn't use the large postage die. 

I'm CASEing Carol McFarland's card for the current Just Us Girls Case the Designer Challenge.

Here's Carol's fabulous postage stamp card.

And here is my second postage stamp card. For this one, I used the Holiday Collage accompanying stamp sets and randomly stamped the images on a white card panel in various colors. After stamping, I cut it out with a SU Deckled Rectangle die.

Using the Waffleflower Holiday Postage Collage stencil sets, I stenciled some images, then cut them out with the medium postage die included with the die set and arranged them in the center of the card on a red square panel. It's a bit "busy" but I like the way it turned out, nice and bright.

As you can see, I used the same sentiment on the front of both cards. I also used the same images for the inside of both, just stamping them in different colors. Here's the inside of card two.

Happy Labor Day and thanks for checking in.

Colleen
