Christmas.....

 These fall under the Different or Looking outta the box looks.......And these are my favorites, haha.


The top is Basic Black, Whisper White and Real red for the paper.  I love that Sense of Time set....clock, the background is the snowflake embossing Folder and the Dec 25 comes from the Tags til Christmas set. Yes you see red dots on the embossed snowflakes, I used my Real Red SU Marker.  That is Twill Tape, stamped with the 'Merry' from the Tiny Tags set.  Inside I lined with Whisper White and stamped a Red snow flake. 

This Rose Red, Basic Black and Pink Pirouette card is the girly girl card. Jewels included.  The 'Merry Christmas' is from the Seasons of Joy set.  I embossed the Black with snowflake embossing folder and cut the snowflakes on my BIG SHOT!!! 
This card is a CASE from I am not sure where, I am sorry to the original maker!! I used Old Olive for the base, Poppy Parade as the patterned background.  The Tree trunk is Chocolate Chip ribbon.  The Tree itself is Old Olive, Pear Pizazz, Always Artichoke and there is Pear Pizazz patterned paper there too. The buttons is a buttons die for the Big Shot. there are 4 buttons that can be cut at a time, I used scrap here so that I could just 'cut' the sizes I wanted.  I did use a few of the square buttons inside for 'presents'.  I used a few Jewels and a cut out a star for the top. 

This one is on a Chocolate Chip paper base, used Crumb Cake for the layer paper and 'tag'.  The Christmas Tree is from the Seasons of Joy set, I versa marked it the 1st time in the middle sprinkled with Iridescent Ice embossing powder.  Then added the other 3.  I Love that 1 1/4 inch Chocolate Chip ribbon. I was able to get that ripple effect with glue dots.  The 'A Merry Christmas' phrase comes from the Bells and Boughs set.  


Like more information on any of these posts please email me!!
Happy Stamping!!

Christmas.....


 For these Three I used the Tags til Christmas bundle.  Real Red and Garden Green were the base cards for the top two and the Dec 25 for the 'tag'.  The layer is newsprint paper. The 'Happy Holidays' is from the Four Seasons set. Loved the distressed edges it added a great look.  The last card one I wanted to used different colors for.....a modern look if you will......I used Marina Mist and More Mustard.  The 'Merry Christmas" is from the Seasons of Joy set. 

Christmas.....


These two Christmas cards I used the Bells and Boughs Christmas bundle.  I added a small library clip and Rhinestone with the ribbon for the top.  I added Gold waffle paper and in the middle of the poinsettias those are embossed pearls, for the lower card.

Christmas.....

First I am sorry about the picture. My camera is on its last little toe, I think....Here is the first of my Christmas cards. The cup is a CASE from a card swap, but I thought this turned out cute.  I used Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler, Deck the Halls DSP, Chantilly trim with Early Espresso 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon. The Tiny Tags 'merry' are stamped with C.C. and A.A. on Very Vanilla paper and then used the Tiny tag punch.  Four the Holidays is the Christmas stamped in Early Esspresso.  Finial Press was the embossing folder I used on the cup.  The cup itself is just a trace.  If interested I can email it to you.

I have used this "hydrangea" on a scrap page and needed to see what I could do with it on a card.  Here is my "Thank You" card using Garden Green and a page from the neutral DSP pack.  The thank you stamp is from the "Because I Care" hostess set.  The punches used Round Scallop, Butterfly, Punch trio, Scallop Oval,  Med Oval and the Ribbon punch.  The 'center' of the butterfly is 1/8 taffeta ribbon in black.  I also added some Moonlight Smooch to some of the centers of the flowers.  

Fall Holidays.....

 
This Thankful card uses Chocolate Chip for the base Garden Green for the added layer and Very Vanilla for the leaf base and the insert on the inside.  Ink for the leaves were Cherry Cobbler, So Saffron and Pumpkin Pie. Along with Pumpkin Pie 3/8 taffeta ribbon and the scallop border punch.  The two stamp sets used were "Thankful for...." and "Paisley Prints"

Fall Holidays.....

Here are two of my Thanksgiving cards.  One Peach Parfait, Cajun Craze and Old Olive and the other Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Old Olive.  The leaves are a Big Shot die from Misc scraps with pumpkin pie 3/8 taffeta ribbon. The other is the "med" oval punch, and pieces of the bird punch, with Old Olive 1/8 taffeta ribbon.  The pumpkin one also used smooch spray for added effect.   

Fall Holidays.....

Here is a perfect little gift for all your spooky monster this Halloween.  Yes it does have candy space.  Cajun Craze paper for the carton, Wicked Cool DSP for the bats and of course more of the Wicked Cool stamp set.  I have to admit the spider is from the dollar store comes in a pack of 50.  The library clip keeps all the goodies inside.

Fall Holidays.....

More of the SU Wicked Cool set. And I love, love love this ghost using the owl punch.  That is also a new product for SU Black waffle paper.  Moonlight smooch as the eyes for the bats and in the ghost.  That is Peach Parfait DSP and Pumpkin Pie for the card base.  I did put another ghost on the inside.

I have a great family friend who's birthday is coming up.  She loves thank you cards. I thought she might like a variation of these.....

I used my Thankful for... set and the Thoughts and Prayers set.  One card is Rich Razzleberry and Crumb Cake the other is Poppy Parade and Crumb Cake.  I colored some of the leaves using SU markers to add the RR or PP to the tree and used Chocolate Chip marker for the main trunk and limbs.   Hemp twine is the knot. 
Loved this set, and knew that I wanted to find at least one way to use it.  I used Garden Green, So Saffron paper and So Saffron, Stazon Black and Versamark ink.  Gold embossing power for the gears.  That is a small black brad holding the face on. Lastly, I used the clear window sheets for the clock face.

Thanks for checking it out!
