Stitched With Cheer!

I just finished a really fun new kit from Stampin' Up!  The Stitched With Cheer project kit was so fun and simple, but I ended up with 18 beautiful cards!  My daughter and I worked on it together.  I love the way everything is included (except the stamp set, but I was able to use a stamp set I already had, so that worked out really well, too!)

Here are the cards we made:

I love all the texture!  That burlap ribbon is so fun and the holly berries are self stick and go on quick!

This one was super simple.  The stitches are easy because all the holes are pre-punched and the gold thread is cut for you, too!  There's even a needle threader and two needles, so you can work with a friend!

This last one was my favorite.  So beautiful and the 3-D effect was so easy to create!  Tiny self-stick pearls complete the snowy look!

I hope you get a chance to try one of these kits.  They are so much fun to create...all the planning is done for you!  Enjoy and Merry Christmas to you all!

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.
