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!

Christmas Cuties!

I just love how creative this card is!  The Elf stamp is from the Christmas Cuties set, as is the sentiment.  The box is embossed using the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder.  A couple of strips of Silver Glimmer Paper decorate the gift box and lid.  The bow is made using the Bow Builder Punch and a Rhinestone Jewel.  The little elf is 'painted' using the Aqua Painter and some ink off the cover of the regular Classic Stampin' Ink Pads.  Super quick and fun!

This little Angel is a bookmark, hung with Silver 1/8" ribbon and 'painted with ink and an Aqua Painter.  Some Silver Glimmer paper at the bottom and a dab or two of Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details gives her halo and wings a little shine.  The sentiment is stamped in Whisper White Craft Ink (which takes a bit of time to dry, so let it set a few hours!)

This cute little guy is from the same stamp set, Christmas Cuties, as are the 'dots' of snow falling from the sky.  The Aqua Painter gives a nice watercolor look.  The flag is a strip of cardstock wrapped around a toothpick!  Another fun and easy card!

I hope you are all enjoying preparing for Christmas.  We are having lots of rain here.  I got to play with babies in the church nursery this morning...boy was that fun!
