Three For Three

We could not be more impressed by the fabulous cards you guys came up with for "We Three Kings". The only "problem" we had was only choosing a trio of them to feature!

Jane Willis of Onions and Paper

...cleverly STACKED her adorable trio of reindeer in a way that makes us think we should make LOTS more tall cards!

June Houck of Simply Elegant Paper Crafts

...made a card that's awesome in EVERY respect, and has also given us the perfect plan for how to use all the fun flair we've collected but haven't quite known how to use!

Lisa J of Snowy Moose Creations

...knows a thing or two (or three!) about stamping and coloring adorable bears. Not to mention that AH-MAY-ZING stenciled background! 

Many thanks to everyone who played along, we're inspired by every single card you link up! We'll be back at Midnight with a brand new prompt we hope will help to get the word out... :)

Three of a Kind ... working on a Full Christmas House

We're back creating in trios this week ... cards that feature three of a single design element.

Here are what we made with our *threes* this week:

Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "My 'three' are pretty obvious this week-- in the form of red flowers so old I'm not entirely positive where they came from. I know they've got Eyelet Outlet Sticky-Back Pearl centers, though. And that they're accenting the scanned and re-sized vintage postcard I used as focal image. And that my layout is based on the awesome current sketch from Sketch Saturday."

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I liked the paper I used last week so much, I used the rest of the 12x12 sheet to make a second card.  I call this one a triple-triple ... three groups of three ... don't you just love those little snowmen.  all I had to add were a few paper scraps, a sticker sentiment, and a couple of enamel dots to add a little dimension to the balls on top of their winter hats."

We Three Kings

We Three Kings - that means this week we're creating in multiples of THREE. 

We're asking you to create a card with THREE of one element … three circles, three reindeer, three packages under the tree … you get the picture.

Here are the trios we used to create:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I took my inspiration from a Jingle Belles card I made in January 2011.  I die cut three stitched squares using Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Square Stackables Dies and then stamped three circle snowflakes (from Simon Says Stamp Circle Sayings Holiday) and used a 7/8" punch for my circles ... I finished with Eyelet Outlet enamel dots in the centers.  My card base is 5" x 12" two-sided vintage Basic Grey paper with scores at 2" and 4" from the edges for an off-set opening.  You can click-through to my blog to see how it opens.  The vintage Santa is recycled from a holiday card with a sticker holiday sentiment."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "My card features three of my favorite Echo Park diecut trees. I'm trying a new way of organizing holiday scraps this year: rather than let loads of tiny pieces of paper accumulate, I've been trying to either toss or diecut any scraps that are too small for anything except tossing or diecutting. I'm hoping that having a little cache of pre-cut items will make "composing" my cards a bit faster; as well as making it possible to sometimes make multiples in weeks where I've got more than one idea. The plan seems to be working so far; in fact there are two more cards with three trees each on my blog today!"
