Hello December!

These cards use the two Project Life Stamp Sets...Hello December and Seasonal Snapshots.  Cute and easy, when paired with punches, some Dazzling Details and Merry Moments DSP.  The Polka Dots Embossing Folder adds some pizzazz!

I like this technique, of layering your cardstock and stamping them first, then assembling them to create this cute 3-D look.  Silver Cording and Rhinestones glam this card up!

This card uses the pretty Lots of Labels framelits die to showcase the sentiment from the Seasonal Snapshot stamp set.  A couple of Home for Christmas Enamel Dots add some dimension.  The tags are stamped and hand cut and the Merry Moments Paper Stack DSP brings up the background.

These cards are all pretty quick (except for the hand cutting!), but still elegant and fun.  If you need some cards to mail or give along with your gifts, these might be just the thing!  Merry Christmas!

Christmas Poinsettias and More!

I just love this card.  Those gorgeous musical notes contrast so well with the elegant poinsettia, both from the pretty Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper collection.  The sentiment comes from Reason for the Season and the Home for Christmas red Enamel Dots are also from the Holiday Mini Catalog.

This rustic card uses the same stamp set, Reason for the Season.  The leaves are punched out with the Festive Flower Builder Punch and clipped up the sides to create a natural look.  The Note Tag Punch frames the sentiment nicely.  The versatile Woodland Embossing Folder in the background and a bow of natural Linen Thread finish it off!

This final card uses the beautiful Two-Step poinsettia in the same stamp set to create a pretty flower.  The sentiment is stamped on a sheet of White Vellum and punched out with a Circle Punch. A punched out circle from the Merry Moments Designer Series Paper Stack lies behind it.  The background is embossed with the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder and some curliques of the Gold Metallic Thread add a little shine behind the flower.

I hope you're all having fun preparing for Christmas.  We saw a Christmas play last night that put me in the mood!
