Joyful Season!

I really love this new DSP, Season of Cheer.  It has a pretty watercolor feel to it, which goes with this stamp set, Joyful Season.  This card also has a 3-D poinsettia flower, punched out using the Festive Flower Builder Punch.  A tiny piece of Season of Cheer Washi Tape and a Pearl add some extra fun.  The Joyful sentiment is embossed with Cherry Cobbler Embossing Powder.

This pretty bird uses two-step stamping.  The outline is stamped first, then the color is added later.  Washi Tape and Gold Glitter ribbon blings it up, along with the Peace sentiment, which is punched out from a Gold Foil Sheet using the Christmas Greetings Thinlits Dies.  The ribbons are Basic Black Stitched Satin Ribbon and thin Gold Metallic Thread.

This one is my favorite from this set.  I just love the pretty yellow flowers.  This card uses the Reason for the Season stamp set, some pretty Daffodil Delight 1/4" Cotton Ribbon and a tag made from White Vellum Cardstock.  The sentiment is framed with the Scallop Circle and Circle punches.

Well, we are 7 days away from Christmas already, so if you are behind on your cards, use this last one to make Happy New Year cards.  I hope you're all enjoying the holiday season.  My kids are making Christmas cookies today.  Yum!  

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!
