Merry Christmas Series

I don't normally do this, but I want to SERIOUSLY recommend the stamp and die bundle I'm featuring on this page.  It has everything you need for stamped greetings on Christmas cards and Die cuts you can use as greetings.  The fonts are beautiful!  

Each of these cards features foil and/or glimmer paper.

This DSP from the Holiday catalog doesn't need much.  I really love the photo paper.  Just add some details, and you've got a really beautiful card.

Here's another example of beautiful designer paper.  I added the three colors of glimmer paper to this as well as a lace die cut on the edge.  

 

You'll see the Dashing Deer again this season - this is the first time I've played with it.  I used some Real Red cardstock to cut the Merry, and the copper glimmer paper for the rest as well as the Buffalo Check for the background.  It still needs something, I just don't want to go overboard with it.

 Here is a view of the inside of the card.  Merry Christmas Wishes!

Christmas Lights!

Oh!  I LOVE Christmas tree lights!  I miss the old bulbs from my childhood that used to make noise when they were lit on the tree.  I used to lie on the sofa in the back living room with Christmas music on the stereo, reading with only the light of the tree in the room.  I miss that so much.

 This first card is pretty simple and clean.  I stamped the light string just 3 times, colored the lights with markers, and added Wink of Stella to make them sparkle.  The stamp and die cut are popped with dimensionals, and the greeting is stamped in Gorgeous Grape. 

Layering up this card was lots of fun!
I cut the sentiment, and made a scalloped backing for it as well as two banners to place behind it.
I also added many more strings of lights!  So much fun!

 On the inside I stamped just 3 for a greeting continued from the card front.  Lots of Wink of Stella for sparkle!

Buffalo Check Shirt Christmas

This is another card I CASEd after I saw it on Pinterest.  Of course, it's not the same.  I added some detail and changed a few things.

 This looks so much like a shirt my Dad would wear. 

I used a black card base for this card, but you could also use Early Espresso.  It would work well with the acorns and buttons.

 Be sure to ink up the Buffalo Check stamp VERY well with the Black Memento Ink.  I stamped two pieces.  One for the background, and one for the pocket. 

I added this piece on the interior of the card just because that print was so hunter-like and woodsy, it seemed to need a bit more than just a white interior.  Details, details!
