CAS-ual Fridays: Dashing Through the Holidays

Five days until Santa arrives!  And our CAS-ual Fridays challenge today (just a bit early) is the perfect challenge for those last minute holiday creations you need to finish up.  We're partnering with the 10 Minute Craft Dash.  I have to admit that I loved this challenge:  make a holiday card in less than 10 minutes.  I made three different cards...each less than 10 minutes.  

And...to make this two week challenge even better our sponsor is CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!  Your chance to win some CFS awesome stamps!

Here are some fun tips for you to think about when you need to quickly make a card:

• Choose a color combo that you love so that you don't spend a lot of time looking at inks and papers. In my case, queue up Cherry Cobbler and Chocolate Chip (notice the blog header :)!)
• If you are using patterned papers, don't use too many.  Using the same 6x6 paper pad helps with coordinating papers if you want to use them.
• Little touches can go along way...for me, I inked up the edges and rounded a corner.  My Ranger Distress Ink favorite colors are:  Antique Linen and Pumice Stone for neutral colors to add a bit of dimension to the card.
• If you need to make a lot of card, but get bored with doing the same thing repeatedly, keep the layout and colors the same, but change out the stamps.
  

  

  
  

 

I hope you have a chance to play along!  As always, I'm looking forward to seeing your entries in the challenge gallery!

PS This is a two week challenge!  Merry Christmas to you and your family and we'll be back in two weeks with another fabulous challenge from CAS-ual Fridays!
