Ravishing in RED

Wow ... we love all of the wonderful ways you featured RED in your designs.

Here are a few remarkable RED designs that caught our eyes.

Kylie

Kylie is Addicted to Stamps (and now Butterflies)

really made her reds pop by adding touches of glitter ... and contrasting it with a snow-white palette ... and the wrap of twine was such a great finishing touch.

Lisa J

Snowy Moose Creations

incorporated a wonderful combination of red papers for her festive and elegant holiday design ... the embossed main panel really helps tie it all together.

Pia

so cleverly turned her Valentine's Day image into a fabulous holiday card design ... love those heart-strings ... bravo!

Check back at midnight for our next prompt ... and keep stocking that holiday card stash.

Snoopy vs. the ♥♥RED♥♥ Baron

I know the title is a bit of a stretch, but I couldn't resist the ♥♥RED♥♥ reference in one of my favorite childhood holiday songs.  We're still celebrating RED this week ... making cards that predominantly feature the color RED.

Here is our second round of RED designs:

Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "I used last week's (expired but still awesome) Unscripted Sketch #243 for my layout, which I thought would work pretty well with some of the many older, but still-beloved tags I still have from various retired Basic Grey holiday lines; and I think it did, actually! I also couldn't quite resist adding in a red, heart-shaped, vintage doily leftover from Valentine's Day, which I think sort of 'grounds' the cluster of tags."

Stephanie's Other Card

Stephanie says, "I'm sure I bought this gorgeous piece of flocked SEI Winter Song paper because of the gorgeous red color & soft flocked texture (I love paper with texture) ... but after purchasing, it has been parked in my stash for years.  Thankfully this prompt made me revisit my stash with a *red-focused* eye and I realized the flocked bird would be the perfect focal point for a 5" x 6.5" card design.  It sort of feels like cheating when paper is this pretty, since all I had to do was detail trim 3 flocked snowflakes from the scraps and add a blue pearls and SRM Sticker to finish ... 

but often easy is a very good thing."

Rudolph the *RED* Nosed Reindeer

Since today is Valentine's Day, we're going ♥RED♥ for Christmas ... this week's prompt is to make a card that predominantly features the color RED. Here's what we made:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I went hunting for all things *RED* in my holiday stash and found this great Christmas Circle paper by Teresa Collins.  All I had to add were a plastic snowflake & plastic *think snow* words, which are some of the first embellishments I ever purchased when I started making cards ... so glad they finally found a holiday home."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "I've had this gorgeous Santa (who's scanned from a vintage greeting card, and printed out a bit smaller) sitting in my "leftovers" pile since the end of November, and I was thrilled to finally have the perfect card on which to use him! I've rotated the current Seize the Sketch ninety degrees to the left, added in a few other leftovers (like my last ancient scrap of SEI's gorgeous red velvet paper!) plus a bit of vintage (red!) doily, and called it a happy cardmakin' day." 

We hope you'll find time to ♥GO RED♥ with us ... upload your cards by Wednesday, February 26th at 6pm EST ... keyword is JB:14:04 for our Flickr (and other) galleries.
