This card was made with Night of Navy card stock. I stamped the ornaments with "Delightful Decorations" on Whisper White card stock with silver ink. Then I heat embossed them with clear powder and punched them out with the Ornament Punch. I used silver cording and popped the ornaments up with Dimensionals. The background was made using silver ink and the coordinating "Sparkle & Shine" jumbo wheel.
This card was made with "Season of Joy". Colors used were Wild Wasabi, Rose Red, and So Saffron. I added a swirl on the background from this set and edged the Whisper White card stock with the Wild Wasabi ink pad.
I zig-zagged around a piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock on a Crumb Cake base. The polka dot strip is from the DSP called "Jolly Holiday" and the tree from "Holiday Hoopla" stamped on Very Vanilla and mounted on a piece of Old Olive. The words are from "Many Merry Messages" and the button is from the Bold Brights Assortment.
This wall hanging is made from Moda's "Gobble Gobble" line. I used a charm pack (5" squares) even for the face and feathers. Wherever you are, may you have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
I just love this new color, Cherry Cobbler--it's so rich and makes a great Christmas color. The santa is from "Holiday Hoopla" and the words are from "Curly Cute". I ran the background through my Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder and cut out the Wild Wasabi square using the Scallop Squares Duo die. The 5/8" Whisper White grosgrain ribbon adds a little crispness.
This is one of my favorite Christmas sets, "Season of Joy". It also has an adorable tree, a big swirl, two poinsettias, and a little star that says "hand stamped". On the background I stamped the snowflake in a circle from this set with Versamark. First, I stamped the block with the words in Certainly Celery and then colored a few images with a Real Red marker. I added 5/8" Certainly Celery grosgrain ribbon and trimmed the corners with the Corner Rounder Punch. 
Michelle's name was drawn and wins the thank you gift pack set. Congrats!
Here's a softer card using Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, and Real Red. It was stamped using "Snow Swirled" including the background snowflakes and the words. The Whisper White strip has splashes of Bashful Blue that I created using the Spritzer Tool. Last, I added Bashful Blue brads and a 1/8" Real Red bow to finish it off.
Isn't he cute? This is the single stamp "Dasher" stamped in Chocolate Chip and mounted on Real Red. The Whisper White background was run through the Big Shot using the Texture Plates Kit #4 (paisley). I used the Real Red Wide Polka Dot ribbon that I bought in the Clearance Rack online at SU a few weeks ago.
Here's another Santa card using "Holiday Hoopla". I used Dazzling Diamonds glitter on his beard and the background paper is from the Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack--Wild Wasabi. The words are from "Teeny Tiny Wishes" made with the Word Window and Modern Label punches. The bow is made out of 1/8" Real Red taffeta ribbon. Leave a comment between now and Friday night to be entered in a drawing to win a thank-you gift pack. It contains two stamps, mini cards, envelopes, an Old Olive Stampin' Spot, some buttons, and ribbon. 
This set from the Holiday Mini catalog has nine different stamps that fit in SU punches. I used the Large and Extra Large Tag Punches and the Scallop Square Punch. The background was stamped in Baja Breeze with "Northern Hearts" on a piece of Whisper White card stock that I made with the Top Note die on my Big Shot. The narrow band of Baja Breeze was punched with Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch and the background paper is from Candy Cane Christmas. The Real Red rick rack was made using the Tasteful Trim die and the button is from the Candy Cane big designer buttons pack.
This card was made from the set "Got Treats" which has several other stamps including: "Got Green", "Got Birthday", "Got Love", "Got Treats", and other words that coordinate with the Mini Milk Carton Die. I used Real Red and Chocolate Chip with a matching 5/8" satin ribbon and corduroy button.
This card was made with the sets "Big on Christmas" and "Many Merry Messages". I used the non-traditional colors Bashful Blue and Basic Black. I colored the snowman and letters with a white crayon and then used a sponge dauber with Bashful Blue ink on it to fill in the background (crayon resist technique). Isn't he cute?
Here's another card from "Holiday Hoopla". I used Dazzling Diamonds glitter on Santa's beard to give it a little sparkle. Colors are Real Red (although it looks a little orange in this picture) and Old Olive. I ran the red card stock through my Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, added a piece of Old Olive wide grosgrain ribbon, and a red button from the Candy Cane assortment in the Holiday Mini.
Even though a couple of these colors are retired, I wanted to share this Thanksgiving card that was stamped with the current set "Falling Leaves". Colors used were Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango, Old Olive, and Elegant Eggplant. I punched the little circles and hung them on the ribbon with a piece of Natural Hemp Twine. The background was run through my Big Shot with the Texturz Plates Backgrounds 1. 
Did you really think I was going to post a recipe? Here's some decorative pumpkins I made using a roll of toilet paper wrapped with some batting, a fat quarter of fabric (pulled the corners up around and into the tube), a 6" long stick from the yard that fits snuggly inside the tube, and a wide ribbon tied into a bow around the stick. Yummy!
This card from "Falling Leaves" uses both the 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" Sqaure Punches for a layered look. Colors are Old Olive, Summer Sun, Soft Suede, and Pumpkin Pie on a Crumb Cake card. I used the Mat Pack to poke the holes along the bottom and added a 5/8" Pumpkin Pie grosgrain ribbon.
Do you ever have one of those moments where you discover two colors that work so well together? I love Baja Breeze and needed a new color to compliment it--enter Soft Suede. I love how this card looks a little fallish, but a little bluish. I used "Trendy Trees" on Very Vanilla card stock and background paper from the DSP Neutrals and Subtles Paper Stacks. I topped it off with a 1/8" Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon.
Wow, it's November and pretty soon it will be full speed ahead into the holiday season. Before I post any more Christmas ideas, I thought I'd better finish fall. This card, made with "French Foliage", reminds me of the darker colors of the leaves still left on the trees--Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, and Old Olive. The words are from "A Word for You" and I couldn't resist adding an espresso button tied with a piece of hemp twine.
