Cup of Cheer

Merry Christmas, Friends!

Santa's On His Way!  The Cup of Cheer stamp set and the Lots of Labels Framelits are the perfect place for Santa to hang out!  He is hand trimmed from the Home for Christmas DSP...love this paper!  Two Rhinestones (colored with a Real Red Stampin' Marker!) add some sparkle!

This pretty card is perfect for a Friendship note or even a Get Well card.  Some Dazzling Diamonds in your cup (haha!) and Glimmer Paper behind glams things up a bit.  A delicate Doily and the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder create a soft background.

And it is Christmas Day!  The new Elegant Dots Embossing Folder adds a pretty texture to this card, which is blinged up a bit with some Dazzling Details around the 'wreath.'

I have one more set to share with you later today.  I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Day!

Peaceful Wreath

This pretty wreath is hand colored with Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin' Markers and cut out with the Wonderful Wreath Framelits.  The background uses the Hardwood stamp on top of the Woodgrain Embossing Folder, one of my favorites!  I could see this card being used for a masculine Birthday or Father's Day card, if you just switched out the sentiment (which is from the Christmas Greetings Thinlits Dies)

I love this simple card!  I think if you attached the tag with a removable glue dot, it could be a Bookmark!  The pretty Holly leaves are stamped in Garden Green ink, while the berries are hand colored with a Real Red Stampin' Marker.  The background is embossed with the pretty Boughs & Berries Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Loving this color!  The Brick Wall Embossing Folder provides a pretty background for the hand colored holly and berries.  Gold Glitter Ribbon peeks out from behind the Peace sentiment, also from the Peaceful Wreath stamp set.  The edges of the Very Vanilla Paper are sponged with the same pretty Hello Honey Stampin' Ink.

To You & Yours, Too!

This stamp set has a little bit of everything!  A pretty background stamp (trees with a deer) that fits perfectly in the 'window' of the Hearth & Home Thinlits Dies, a couple of pretty sentiments, an ornament hanger! and a pretty tree (coming up in the next card below)

The bow is punched out of Silver Glimmer paper, using the Wonderful Wreaths Framelits Dies and the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder provides some texture for the background.

Here is a really easy card to make if you have the pretty Christmas Greetings Thinlit Dies...the Red Glimmer Paper really shines on this card.  Punch out the star with the star from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.

Another quick card that uses the gorgeous Joy from the Wonderful Wreath Framelits Dies punched out of Silver Glimmer Paper.  The Softly Falling Embossing Folder is used (upside down!) and the sentiment is stamped on cardstock, then punched out with the cute new Curvy Corner Trio Punch.  Such a fun way to use all of our new tools and supplies!

Hope you're enjoying these ideas as you are crafting your way through Christmas!
