Main launch design inspiration from the team:

Mags B

I love using PATTERNED PAPERS, and I have used PAPER PIECING as a change from just making backgrounds.  Also, it's easy to make two-for-one!

Card 1

Card 2

Helen - digi stamp colored with Promarkers and using patterned papers because I find coloring relaxing and love putting designs together with different selections of patterned papers

Granmargaret
My favorite is to use pre-colored digi stamps and pattern papers with sketches

Becca

One of my favorite techniques is painting, especially trying different methods of painting. For this card, the lasered wood veneer was painted gray and then I brushed on 2 top layers--1 of silver glitter paint and the 2nd in gold glitter paint. The panel to which that was adhered was painted differently by smearing some gray acrylic paint for the base layer and then dabbing dots or lines of the gold glitter paint and silver glitter paint.

Meena Herale with a Christmas Tree Ornament

I love creating articles using chalk paints and here I have used gold gliding  and stripping technique which is one of my favorite technique and I love it coz it a awesome visual effect on items. 

Thanks ladies for keeping your creative talents flowing into the new year! 

Excellent variety!

So festive and making me want some peppermint! 

New theme #50 (yes #50) will begin in about 1 hour 20 minutes so make sure to look for that post! MTTCC and MTTC are keeping their regular schedules so if you find time to craft please join us at our blogs. MTTC is getting ready to start Week 2 of 2 with theme #497 (other December celebrations like Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and New Year's Eve). 

Let's keep festive cardmaking continuing through the holidays! If you're like me, I usually get 1 or 2 cards that are unexpected that I want to reciprocate. And then most Christmases, I get behind on getting cards mailed early enough for postal delivery before or on Christmas Eve. 

I probably should make that a new year resolution.
