Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Happy Wednesday stampin' friends! Even after 30 days of Christmas cards last month, I'm still not ready to put my Christmas stamps and supplies away yet!

This bright and cheerful card was inspired by the latest Global Design Project CASE the Designer.  I love the beautiful flowers on the white background with a bold black and white sentiment!

I added a bit more color to my card, using the ornament pattern from the Celebrate Everything DSP.  I stamped the festive ornaments from Decorated with Happiness in colors to coordinate with the DSP, all hanging from Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce pine branches.  Or maybe they are spruce branches... :)

I used one of my favorite Framed & Festive sentiments, heat embossed on Basic Black, just like Kayla's card.

I still have a few more Christmas cards to finish up, so stay tuned for more!  And hopefully I will have some fun Mini Catalog pre-order projects to share with you soon!

Happy Stamping!

A Season of Happiness & Wonder

 I'm a little late to the TGIF Challenges color party, but I'm so happy to be here!  These cheerful Christmas colors were too fun to resist!

I decked out the edge of a Basic White card front with some Decorated with Happiness Pine branches, stamped in Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce.  These two greens together are simply glorious!

The beautiful sentiment came next, stamped in Real Red.  And believe it not, I just stamped right on the paper and didn't fussy cut it...shocker, right?!? 

A Christmas card always needs a little bit of shimmer and shine, which came in with the fun Christmas ornaments.  I stamped the festive background in Real Red, letting it dry for a bit, then heat embossed each ornament in gold.  I LOVE how they turned out!  A few Gold Swirls completed the decorations.

Anyone else absolutely LOVING the Celebrate Everything DSP that is offered as a host item in the July-December Mini?  I want to keep this paper pack forever!  The Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green pattern was a perfect match for today's color challenge, especially when you add just a little hint of red to the mix.

Join along in the colorful fun and share your creations with us!

Happy Stamping!

Wreathed in Joy

It's the end of November and I'm wrapping up the #30daychristmascardmakingchallenge, hosted by the marvelous Martin Stone.  I wasn't sure if I would be able to keep up and make all 30 projects, but I DID IT!

The final challenge is all about the Christmas wreath.  I don't know about you, but I love a fresh, full Christmas wreath hanging on my door.  The pine tree scent is the best!

I used the Decorated Pine Dies to create a giant wreath, complete with some Distressed Gold bells.  What is a Christmas wreath without a big Cherry Cobbler bow and baubles?  Some golden Festive Pearls added just a bit more Christmas glimmer.

The laser-cut sheets from Santa Express Memories & More Card Pack have been a favorite throughout the month.  I heat embossed Happy Holidays in gold and LOVE how it turned out!

I adhered the wreath to a Kraft card front, stamped with a few white snowflakes and some gold Wink of Stella splatters.

It has been so much fun playing along with this month long challenge and I can't wait to do it again!  It was a great way to use all of my Christmas stamp sets and supplies.

Wishing you all a Happy Holiday as we move on to the month of December!  So much fun is yet to come!

Happy Stamping!
