Holly Jolly Greetings

I stamped this card in Versamark using the snowflake and snow from the "Holly Jolly Greetings" set.  Then, I heat embossed it using White Embossing Powder.  I cut the card front in three pieces and sponged it (from top to bottom in Soft Sky, Marina Mist, and Island Indigo).  I stamped the "NOEL" from November's Paper Pumpkin Kit and popped it up with Dimensionals.  I mounted the card on Whisper White and then on Island Indigo. Last, I added some Metal Rimmed Pearls.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I recently saw on a blog how to make your own embossing folder and that's what I did here.  I cut out a couple of maple leaves on my Big Shot with the Leaflets Framelits using a piece of cardboard.  Then, I put the leaves I had made below the background piece, added another piece of cardboard to the top and ran it through the Big Shot.  It's hard to see, but there are raised (embossed) leaves in the background.  I cut one more leaf out and stamped "thanks" on it from "Cottage Greetings" and the little leaves are from the "Among the Branches" set.

Reindeer

Don't you just love these Reindeer Paper Clips?   I stamped Whisper White snowflakes on a Cherry Cobbler background and stamped the words from "Jolly Christmas" and cut them out with the Lots of Labels Framelits.  I made a banner from the Merry Moments DSP Stack, added the reindeer, and some Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine.

Home for Christmas

I just love this set "Jingle All the Way" and the coordinating edgelits "Sleigh Ride".  There are so many things you can make and here's an easy card using this combo and the background was made with the Softly Falling Embossing folder.  I topped it off with some Garden Green 1/8" Striped Ribbon.

Peaceful Pines

I just love the versatility of this set called "Peaceful Pines".  It comes with 17 different stamps including differens trees and words and coordinates with the Perfect Pines Framelits.  I used an Aqua Painter to watercolor the background on the trees on Crumb Cake card stock.  Then I stamped them in Versamark and heat embossed them with White Embossing Powder.  The background was made with Whisper White and the Softly Falling Embossing Folder and then I mounted it on Lost Lagoon card stock.

Something Different

This pretty cardinal is from the set "Joyful Season" and has two-step stamps for both the bird and the tree.  I used the Boughs & Berries Embossing Folder to make the background and added some 1/8" Real Red Striped Ribbon.

This adorable shaker card kit called "To You & Yours" from the Holiday Mini contains all the supplies (card bases, envelopes, sequins, glitter, foil stickers, metallic baker's twine, dimensionals, and more) to make 18 cards (six of each of three different designs).  It coordinates perfectly with the "To You & Yours" stamping set and Real Red and Cucumber Crush ink.  If you're in the area, be sure to order this set by this Thursday and attend the class to make the cards on November 21.

Merry Moments

This cute paper comes in a 6" x 6" Paper Stack called Merry Moments which contains 48 sheets.  There's one more not shown in Old Olive with white ornaments on it.  I made the tag with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and the tree with the Perfect Pines Framelits.  It coordinates with the "Peaceful Pines" set--see a card from that set I'm posting in a few days.

Snow

Here's another card using the Woodland Embossing Folder.  I used a Sponge Dauber with Whisper White ink to color the trees.  I made the birds using the Tree Builder Punch and the snow and words are from the set "Jingle All the Way".
