Today's card was created, as a member of the Design Team, at...

Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Challenge #655.

I hope you will play along with us!

For this challenge, TSOT is partnering with Double Trouble Challenge #175. All the details are below. Create all the requirements on your card for a double chance at winning!

THING 1: Trouble Maker

says, "National Punch Day, Friday, Sept 20th, is about three things. Can you guess which two we are celebrating? Here are your choices:

1. A crafty tool.

2. A sweet or spicy drink ladled from a punch bowl.

3. A punch that you dole out with your fists.

Hopefully, your selections agree with mine... here is our challenge:

1. Required: Look through your stash and choose at least one punch and/or die to use in your project.

2. Optional: Pour your favorite punch or beverage into a spill-proof container. If you let us know in the comments what beverage you poured you will earn another chance in our random drawing.

3. Fist punching NOT ALLOWED.

THING 3: Twisted Sister

says, "Hey! This sketch is from our sister challenge at Try a Sketch On Tuesday. We think it would be fun to use because it is perfect for punch cuts and/or die cuts.

"My optional twist is to use TSOT Sketch #655. If you have used this sketch in your project you have earned another chance in our random drawing.

"Feel free to change the orientation of the sketch... rotate the sketch or use its mirror image. Adding a sentiment is optional. You may vary the shapes as long as the basic sketch is recognizable in your project."

Thing 2: Double Dare

says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement, using punch(es) and/or die(s) and have used the TSOT sketch, you are eligible to enter your project HERE at Try a Sketch On Tuesday Challenge #655 for another chance in our random drawing.

Special Notes: Please note that Try a Sketch On Tuesday starts on Tuesday, September 16th. If you post your project at Double Trouble on Monday, the 15th, you are still eligible to enter your project at TSOT. You are permitted to backlink for that Monday only. So be sure to visit again on Tuesday, September 15th, and post your card to the TSOT Challenge using the link provided above.

I decided on a Christmas card for this challenge, using Stampin' Up! Frozen Edges Bundle, Sentimental Wishes Bundle, Deckled Circles & Stylish Shapes Dies, along with Sentimental Christmas DSP.

I met Thing 1's requirement to use a punch/die AND I used the sketch. Yay!

Poppy Parade was used for my card base with layers of Basic White and Sentimental Christmas DSP.

The background DSP was stamped with snowflakes from Frozen Edges Stamp Set, stamped using Poppy Parade ink.

The circles were die cut from Poppy Parade using Deckled Circles Dies in 3 different sizes.

The snowflakes were also die cut from Basic White with the bottom corner snowflake layered with two die cuts. Wink of Stella was brushed on the snowflakes to add a hint of shimmer. The snowflakes were adhered on the circles with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

The center of each snowflake has a Real Red & White Adhesive-Backed Peppermint. So stinkin' cute!

The Christmas stocking and bow were die cut from DSP and adhered on the largest circle with Stampin' Dimensionals. The bow was also adhered with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

The sentiment is from Sentimental Wishes Stamp Set, stamped with Poppy Parade ink. The sentiment was die cut using Stylish Shapes Dies with the left side tucked behind the stocking. Wink of Stella was brushed on the bow as well.

Inside my card is a strip of DSP along the bottom, which was also stamped with snowflakes.

The tiny presents were fussy cut from DSP.

The sentiment is also from Sentimental Wishes Stamp Set, stamped with Poppy Parade ink.

As always, I also adhered DSP on the envelope flap.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.
