Let's Trim the Tree for Challenge #38

Hi there, Christmas Kickstarters, it's time to Trim the Tree for Challenge #38. Before I do, I'd like to say a very BIG thank you to my wonder-elf, Linda, for all her help, inspiration and additional card making! 

Thanks, Linda, it's been a blast!

Our theme was White on White, and you guys really seemed to enjoy this one. We had some beautiful entries and I have to admit that I'm more than a little bit 'hooked' on this style of card as a result of the challenge. 

Our Top Picks are:

Kailash

Such a lovely card, with the perfect addition of silver accents.

Darnell

We both loved the texture and dimension Darnell has achieved. 

Cindy C.

Just look at how Cindy has embossed the poinsettia vein onto the die cut vellum.

Our winner for this challenge, topping the tree is:

Jules

We love that glorious poinsettia on this sweet rocker card.

Congratulations to you all, please grab your blog badges to let the world know how talented you all are!

Rudolph had a rather lovely prize on offer for this challenge and he's here to announce that the winner of his 38th Random Raffle is: 

#4 - Gail!

Hi Gail, please can you get in touch to claim your prize.

I think that just about wraps things up for Challenge #38. Thanks again to Linda for being a great elf, and if YOU'D like to play along in the newest challenge please head here to meet our new elf and to find out the new, fun theme.

Christmas Kickstart Challenge #38 - White on White.

How are we mid-way through September? Time flies when you're having fun making Christmas cards!

Welcome to another Christmas Kickstart Challenge. We have a fun new theme and a lovely elf to meet and greet. Say 'hi' to Linda from Scrappin', Stampin' & Singin'. We've got to know each other through our love of Christmas cards, Hero Arts and The Card Chain Challenge, and I'm delighted that this lovely lady has become a regular player here at Kickstart!

"Hey everyone – I’m Linda W. (aka ScrappinBari) who blogs at Scrappin’, Stampin’ & Singin’. I started out scrapbooking but found my way into serious card making in about 2007 after taking some classes at a local craft store. Now my friends think my home looks like a craft store, given the volume of my stash!! I’ve lived in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA for nearly 24 years. Hero Arts continues to be my favorite stamp company and I was honored to be a Hero Hostess in 2011. I love making Christmas cards all year round and thank Jo for hosting this challenge plus inviting me to be an elf!!"

So, our challenge for the night fortnight is:

Challenge #38 - White on White!

We'd love to see your white cards, please! Linda and I had a little discussion about this and decided that we're up for totally white cards, cards with a neutral addition, a 'pop' of colour and/or a little silver or gold.

If you take a look at Linda's gorgeous creation you can see what we mean...

There are further photographs and all the details about this lovely card over on Linda's blog, so please go take a look and leave her some love!

Here's what I made:

It's hard to see but all of the stencilled snow is very, very sparkly! You can find all the details here.

As always, Rudolph has done us proud with a lovely Random Raffle Prize of this gorgeous die from MFT!

Linda and I very much hope you'll come and play along in this fun challenge!
