New Challenge at Less Is More!


Hi guys!
It's time for a color challenge at Less Is More. This time we've chosen colors that are just perfect for your Christmas card crafting:


Let's have a quick look of the cards I've created for this week!

Card 1 
(above)

This card is created with a die I got to borrow from my crafty friend Milla when she was visiting me last summer. I quite like how simply I could use the color palette by just backing the die cut openings with colored card! I stamped a Finnish Christmas greeting to the middle of the die cut panel and after attaching it to a card base this card was ready in no time at all...  I think I got it made in under ten minutes! :) 

Card 2 
(below)

These Swedish style stamps come from Hero Arts and I love them! I combined them with a Christmas greeting by the Greeting farm and die cut the panel with a decorative MFT rectangle die before attaching it to a card base. I think this card was even faster to make than my first card... I was speed crafting this week! :) 



With this card I'd like to enter:
AAA Cards: Christmas (my 2nd entry)


CAS on Friday: Christmas (my 2nd entry)


I hope to see you playing along this week! Our December sponsor is the wonderful Happy Little Stampers and HLS owner and designer Kylie is joining us in this challenge as a guest designer.

WOW! Simple CAS brilliance Nonni. Love the striking white clean space on both of these and I've a similar die to that first one - what a neat idea...may have to CASE that one as it's so striking yet so simple. Love those little Swedish images too and another perfect design oozing your CAS style. Have a good week x

Bravo! What incredible cards Nonni. You're a girl after my own heart making a card in under 10 minutes - it's great when that happens. It is such a beautiful card too. Your second card with those sweet horses is fabulous too. Great inspiration once again. xx

Sorry for visiting so late this week ! Love the fantastic die on your first card, it is so versatile and it works perfectly with this combo ! I'm totally in love with your second card and those pretty adorned horses, really beautiful ! And with this wide white space all around they look even more gorgeous ! Another fabulous CAS week from you ! See you tomorrow !! Hugs xx

That first card is so cool and graphic, Nonni ... and I love the crisp, clean freshness of those Scandinavian horses ... gorgeous! Hugs, Anita :)

Neets B said...

Two triumphs here, Nonni. Both super quick and classy too. I have that die on your first card but always forget about it, must use those collage dies more often. And there's always something so classy about Scandinavian style designs, loving your second card with the stitched edge. Well done you x
