Today I'm sharing a a prototype of a card that teens will be making at this year's Santa Saturday library extravaganza. One of the librarians asked me if I'd be interested in hosting another card-making event for older kids and their parents. What a silly question. Right?!
My friend Mary Anne donated a small embossing machine to the library, so a request was made for the cards to include an embossing element. I also thought the kids would enjoy coloring a Santa-crazed little pup.

| NBUS Recollections red and green cardstock; Neenah Soler white Crazy Dog images, stamped in Versamark black onyx and colored with Prismacolor pencils Memory Box and SU background stencils, inked in Distress Ink hickory smoke applied with Ranger blending tool Paper Studio embossing folder; MFT double stitched STAX rectangle dies |
- Darnell's current NBUS challenge. The NBUS items are new packs of red and green cardstock... which was purchased at a Michael's post-Christmas sale... in hope of using it with the kids on Santa Saturday.
- the current Jingle Belles Emboss Around the Christmas Tree challenge. Life's recently gotten in the way of playing at JB -- and this is by no means fancy. But, it has an embossing element, nonetheless!
To see a gussied up version of this card, designed for a child at Nationwide Children's, check out this month's Sparkles Christmas post. :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a Christmas cutie ... and I love how you framed him with the embossed texture ... so glad you *embossed around the Christmas Tree* with us at Jingle Belles.
ReplyDeleteYou've made great choices for this kit to be made by the tweens and teens and their parents, Sybrina! This krazy dog in his Santa hat will be a big hit with the stenciling, stitching, and embossing! You're so good to help out in this way! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #12! Hugs, Darnell
