Christmas in July - Hello Santa!

 After making all those reindeer - I had to find a MUCH better way to use that builder punch!  I didn't want to waste paper, and I certainly didn't want to stamp the images close enough to cut into one while I was cutting a different image!  SO I got out the ruler.

 By cutting the cardstock at 1 3/4 inch wide, I could stamp 2 Santas on a strip and punch them out quite quickly when I was done coloring!

So when I got to the card - this was WAY too boring!  All that brown... for a Christmas card!  NOT!

 After going to the Christmas Pines stamp set, I found this set of stars. 

 Then, I added twine around the top of the banners.  Some Wink of Stella on Santa's fur to give him some sparkle...

 BUT!  No banner.  I had these banners and have been looking for a place for them to land.  Not here!  Now it just became way too busy.

 SO, here is the finished card.
All the little details really made a difference from the first look to now. 

The lesson here is:  Just because you don't like something at first doesn't mean you scrap the entire project!  Keep adding details.  You'll know when it's too much (like the banner).

Christmas in July - Christmas Reindeer

Today I'm using up last season's Designer Series Paper (DSP).  It was great paper, and I am at the point where I just need to use it!  SO... here goes.

I used 3 bases.  Real Red, Early Espresso, and Crumb Cake.  The reindeer were all stamped in Early Espresso ink on Crumb cake paper.  See tomorrow's post for a great way to stamp out images with the builder punches.  There's a tip.

On the Espresso backgrounds, I stamped with Versamark ink, embossed with white powder, and immediately added Dazzling Diamonds glitter.  After adding the glitter, give the whole thing a touch
of heat just to set all the powder and glitter. 

The cards area all very straight forward, and VERY cute! 

When you've had enough of one background, turn the paper over and see if that looks as good!

This turned out to be a series of a dozen cards.  I just stamped, colored, cut, and adhered all the pieces together.  Easy, quick, and super cute!

Christmas Card Stamp-A-Stack Card 6 of 6

 I don't even know what to say about this card.  In person, this is seriously impressive!

 When making this card you'll want to use the precision plate with the dies to get beautifully clean cuts. It also takes away the struggle of hand cutting the last piece that didn't cut properly to release the pieces from the rest of the card stock.  The Noel comes from another set of dies.  It worked perfectly here!
