Four Months 'til Christmas

It's hard to believe there are four months until Christmas, this has been such a strange year.  I thought I would post another holiday card before going back to cards in the big catalog.  I made this card using the "Banner Year" stamp set and coordinating Banners Pick a Punch to cut the strips of DSP.  This cute DSP is from the Trimming the Tree collection and the background was made with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. 

Gift Wrapped

Here's a brand new set from the new mini (formerly known as the Holiday Mini).  It's called "Gift Wrapped" and it has a coordinating bow punch.  I stamped it in Real Red and popped up one of the bows with Dimensionals.  I cut the word frame out with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies from the big catalog. 

 

Hand-Drawn Blooms

This card was made with the "Hand-Drawn Blooms" set which has two separate pieces for the bouquet and many different choices of words.  I stamped it in Magenta Madness and added some Bumblebee Gingham ribbon.  The background paper is from the Artistry Blooms DSP collection. 

 

Paid Tidings

This cute DSP collection called Plaid Tidings has both fall and holiday papers.  This one matches Bumblebee, Cajun Craze, and Pretty Peacock.  I stamped the words with the "Love of Leaves" set and cut out the leaf with the coordinating Stitched Leaves Dies.  I popped up the Cajun Craze piece with Dimensionals to make a little window to see the plaid paper. 

 

Cute Fruit

Before summer is over (which won't be anytime soon in AZ) I thought I would share this card.  I made it with a set called "Cute Fruit" from the Beginner Brochure.  This 16-page booklet  has so many cute and easy ideas.  I stamped the watermelons in Magenta Madness and Just Jade.  I colored the seeds with a Basic Black marker and mounted the whole strip on Basic Black card stock.  Then, I used some black & white twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack to make a bow.  I embossed the card with one of the folders from the Greenery Combo Embossing Folders. 

 

Pink Lemonade

This little cutie was made with the "Jar of Flowers" stamp set and coordinating punch.  I stamped them in Tuxedo Black (Memento) on Magenta Madness and Bumblebee 6" x 6" DSP and cut them out with the punch, so easy!   The background paper is from the Flowers for Every Season DSP collection.  I stamped the words with "Massive Thanks" and cut them out with the Tasteful Labels Dies.  I stamped the lines for the straws with a stamp from "Pattern Play", added some In Color Enamel Dots, and some Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon. 

So Much Happy

These two cards are from the "So Much Happy" set and coordinating Happy dies.  It was so easy to cut!  On the top one I mounted "HAPPY" on Night of Navy and the bottom one I used Playing with Patterns DSP, cut "HAPPY" out, and then mounted it on Whisper White.  On the bottom one I also cut out the pennants and balloons with the dies and on the top one, I stamped the balloons.

Whale Done

This cute little guy (and words) are from the "Whale Done" set that has a coordinating punch.  I made the body in Misty Moonlight and the tummy and spout in Bashful Blue.  The base is Whisper White card stock embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.  Then, I cut some Whale of a Time DSP with a die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  Next, I embossed some vellum card stock with the Seabed Embossing Folder.  I popped up the whale with dimensionals and added some Whale of a Time sequins.
