Happy 2020! Since the new year is starting on a Wednesday, so is the alphabet at ABC Christmas Challenge!
Our challenges this month are A for Anything Christmas and B for Bingo. For my anything Christmas card, I made my first ever shadow box card!
I am so happy with the way this card turned out, and a lot of the credit goes to my friend Stephanie, who has a really easy-to-follow tutorial here. (Sure, I could try to explain how I made mine, but Steph's instructions can't be beat! Also, I don't make videos. :D) I have two layers of snow, with images adhered to them and directly to the base of the box. Not having an engineering degree, this first attempt doesn't sit perfectly flat when folded, but close enough to still fit in a regular envelope, which was good enough for me. ;)
Our second prompt this month is a bingo challenge, with the following grid:
Oh look, there's clean and simple in the bottom row. :D Seemed like a good choice for me:
I stamped and silver-embossed all the snowflakes in the Studio Katia Snowflakes stamp set and die cut them. As it turned out, I only needed three of them for the die cut panel I wanted to use. I added an embossed sentiment, and this card was done.
While the snowflakes were right there anyway, I made a second card:
This one counts for the bottom row of the bingo board as well, but not as obviously, with just the dir cut base panel and the sentiment banner. This time the snowflakes are embossed in white, with different colours of distress ink blended over each.
I know, I know, it's January, but if you're anything like me, not all the Christmas card supplies have been tucked away.:D Why not give yourself a head start and join us?

Super cards, that shadow box is awesome, Her video is very easy to follow, another thing to try, I'm sure my great grandson would think a shadow bod was super. Easy challenge for January, I might find time.
Happy New Year, Lindsey.
Lovely projects for our first ABC challenge in 2020.

A box card is also in my 2020 list. Lol! Not sure I can do anymore Christmas right now though.
Wow! All of these cards are fabulous, but that shadow box card is AMAZING!!
great collection of cards - loving that shadow box......and to say it's your first! Love them xx
2 wonderful cards, Lindsey. I really love that shadow box. One day, I will check out that tutorial and try one of my own. I really love how you have so many different layers in your wonderful scene.
Look at you with your trio of festive fabulousness! The shadowbox is such fun (one of these days I'll give this a try) and the snowflake duo...stunning! Christmas supplies no where near being tucked away...still so many to play with that I didn't get around to in December. Thank heavens for being on Christmas design teams *grin*
