Snow Place!

Isn't this just the cutest set ever?  I love it because it can work all winter long, not just for Christmas time!  The pretty new Striped Ribbon and the new Curvy Corner Trio Punch gives this card a cute look.  The background is embossed with the Lucky Stars Embossing Folder.  A swish from the Work of Art stamp set adds some ground for the snowmen to stand on.  The different parts of the Snowmen can each be stamped separately so you can use different colors!

This little guy's black hat is super sparkly thanks to some Black Glimmer Paper!  This set comes with it's own set of Snow Friends Framelit Dies, so it's easy to punch out the hat, tie, and arms.  Some Striped Ribbon accents his hat and top of the tag.  The Curvy Corner Trio Punch and some Washi Tape help add to the mood.  Finally, a background of Whisper White Craft Ink snowflakes are stamped and two of my favorite ribbons are used...Real Red 1/4" Cotton Ribbon and the lovely Burlap Ribbon!

This is an adorable 3-D card that opens up like a shadow box and can stand on it's own.  The Softly Falling Embossing Folder gives the Cherry Cobbler some texture and the cute penguins pop out on some Dimensionals.  They are stamped in Basic Black Ink, then colored with Stampin' Markers.  The penguins and their bows are punched out using the Snow Friends Framelit dies.  A tiny Rhinestone accentuates their bowties.  Completely adorable.

I've so enjoyed this month of Christmas cards and I hope you have, too.  Enjoy this day of peace and may you each be blessed with love and happiness.

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!  

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas!

I love this look!  A cute chalkboard with Christmas 'chalk!'  This card uses the Jolly Christmas stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  The quick and easy tag is made by simply clipping off the corners of some Basic Black cardstock and using a couple of hole punches to make the center piece.  Ink the stamp up using White Craft Stampin' Ink and stamp.  Then add the Real Red and Mossy Meadow accents on the tag using Stampin' Markers.

The background is stamped with Versamark on Cherry Cobbler Cardstock with a strip of Home for Christmas DSP on the side.  The new Real Red Striped Ribbon and Season of Cheer Washi Tape finish this one off!

This elegant card uses the beautiful Night of Navy cardstock and ink.  A sheet of Silver Foil surrounds the pretty snowflakes on the Season of Cheer Designer Series Paper.  A tiny dab of Dazzling Details adds some sparkle to each snowflake!

This card is so striking!  The beautiful leaping reindeer come from the same stamp set as the other two cards, the Jolly Christmas set.  The snow flakes are stamped in Mint Macaron and layered on a background of Real Red.  A touch of Season of Cheer Washi Tape borders the reindeer.  Gold Embossing Powder makes the 'Joy' from the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set stand out!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are ready to start the Christmas season.  Enjoy!

Sparkly Seasons!

Today I'm going to share another set of cute cards from the new Holiday Catalog.  This set is called Sparkly Seasons and can be used all year round!

Isn't this just adorable?  I love the scary background Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  The Happy Haunting Washi Tape looks great behind the Seasonal Frames Thinlit die (Spooky!).

Here's a card that can be used for Christmas or Birthday.  The Ballerina twirls prettily on the Silver embossed base.  A touch of Dazzling Details adds sparkle to her tutu and a Rhinestone completes the look.

Here is the Winter version of this set!  The cute snowman is colored with Stampin' Markers and Dazzling Details.  I love the snowy background of the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  The Seasonal Frames Thinlit "snow" die cut is punched out of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.  A strip of Season of Cheer Washi Tape finishes it off!

I love seeing how one stamp set can be used to create so many different looks!
