12 Days of Christmas...Best of Christmas

Over the last couple of days I have been finalising the annual Christmas newsletter to include with my Christmas cards, oh it does take time to write in all those cards, but I am hopefully that my family and friends appreciate all my handcrafted cards.

I am sharing one of the cards that I made with lots of different combinations of stamp sets in the central circle.  The four stamps from the Best of Christmas set fit beautifully in this circle.

Stamp Set:  Best of Christmas
Ink: Bermuda Bay
Cardstock: Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Winter Frost Designer Series Paper
Accessories: Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Circle Thinlit, 2 1/2" Circle Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Large Oval Punch

I have written 62 Christmas Cards to date, with a few more to complete over the next day or so...here are my cards ready for posting tomorrow.

 

12 Days of Christmas...Special Season

It's the 11/12/13 today and I am sharing another one of my Christmas Cards that I made at my Card Class using the Special Season stamp set.

I love the effect of the two Christmas trees, you don't always have to purchase lots of stamp pads to get different shades.  I first stamped the darker tree in the foreground and then without inking up again stamped the same image a little lower to make it look like this one was behind the first one.

I love the little bit of bling with the star (from the Circle Card Thinlet Die) and the scallop border.  I gave a little more feature by turning up one corner with my bone folder.

Stamp Set: Special Season, Calm Christmas
Ink: Night of Navy, Smoky Slate
Cardstock: Night of Navy, Basic Grey, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer Paper
Accessories: Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Beautifully Baroque Textured Embossing Folder, Scallop Border Punch, Circle Card Thinlet Die, Bone Folder

12 Days of Christmas...Tag It

Wow, what a busy evening or should that be morning with the launch of the Clearance Rack Blitz, I was lucky enough to purchase a few items to add to my collection, but best news of all is the Clearance Rack is here to stay.  Once items have sold out, additional items maybe added in the future!
Back to the 12 Days of Christmas, I am using the stamp set which has $3 from each set being donated to Ronald McDonald House, Tag it and I just love this happy Santa. I am also sharing this card as part of this weeks, Just Add Ink Challenge #194 ... just add Santa!

For the background, I used a piece of Old Olive cardstock and put it through the Big Shot with the Pretty Print textured embossing folder and then inked up my brayer with Old Olive to highlight the raised areas and loved the extra texture this created.

Stamp Set: Tag It
Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Whisper White
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive
Accessories:   Brayer, Cherry Cobbler 1" Stitched Edge Grosgrain Ribbon, Pretty Print Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Chalk Talk Framelits, Scallop Edge Border

I just love this smiling santa and I stamped him in Old Olive 

and popped him up on some dimensionals.
