December Card Chain Challenge

It's all in for the Card Chain Challenge in December!  I can't wait to see everyone's interpretation of the grids in their diagonal, vertical or horizontal choices. 



Let's start with the my choice of line or diagonal.  I chose:

Slim Line: I made a Slim Line card with Whimsy cardstock
Sleigh: My sleigh is one of Elizabeth Craft Design's (ECD) sleighs
Stencil: A Snow stencil was used with Aleene's True Snow
Sparkle: Nuvo - Glitter Drops - White Blizzard in the windows
Santa: Whimsy digital stamp set - Santa

This really was so much fun to work on, but I had taped the greeting paper to the wrong side and had to pull it up.  That's why there are two pieces of thin paper on the inside pages.  
The packages on the outside were made of a pretty package that held stamping products.  LOL

Inside of card

Supplies:
Whimsy Designer Paper "Frozen"
Whimsy digital stamp set "Christmas is Coming
ECD Santa's Sleigh, (there were 2 other Santa's sleighs that I have.  The sleight and presents on the front are from this set while some packages on the inside from from an older sleigh set.  
Stencil:  I don't have the package anymore for the snow
Sentiments: I think they are both ECD.

Inspiration for the New Year 2025

 This is my inspiration card for Die Cut Divas.

The challenge this month is to use something NEW!  
As always, use a die or an embossing folder to create your project.
I was able to use this cute gingerbread set on my card.  I didn't want a white background behind the gingerbread men, so I pieced cuts from other papers.  Nuvo drops never hurt and they must taste good to gingerbread men too.  I used one of these guys last month, but not the sentiment or the other two fun gingerbread men.
