I'm back today with another Christmas card. This is one I made a few weeks ago. I was originally thinking I would use this as my Christmas card this year, but I knew hand-cutting all those little Santa hats was going to be a chore. Anyway, I still think this is a great card. This stamp set and pattern paper are retiring at the end of the July-December Catalog. The pattern paper is one of the host items in the Catalog and it's an excellent … [Read more...] about Believe In The Magic

Decorated With Happiness
I'm doing my best to use those stamps from the July-December Catalog that I haven't used yet. The Decorated With Happiness is a great set that gives a nice clean look to your card. And the coordinating die set has some really nice options that work well with the pine branch. I think this is my favorite ornament in the die set. And the lovely bow adds a nice touch to the card. For this set, I highly recommend our Adhesive Sheets when die … [Read more...] about Decorated With Happiness
You Gnome Me So Well
Happy Friday! I'm back today with the last of my gnome cards for now. But don't be surprised if I drag them back out for more projects later. I love the smile on this guy. He looks so happy to be here today. He probably is because it's Friday! I'm really happy with how this one turned out. The snowflake vellum paper goes so well with the blue snowflake pattern paper. The three larger snowflakes are cut out from the pattern paper. Next … [Read more...] about You Gnome Me So Well
Warm Wishes
I'm back with more gnomes today. This time I'm using the itty bitty gnome from the pattern paper. And this time he has a friend, Mr. Moose. I like how they are greeting each other on a beautiful Winter day. The gnome and the moose were punched out from the pattern paper. This saves so much time when making cards. I could have just cut out the rectangle, but I like the look of the punched edge. It gives it a little something extra. I'll … [Read more...] about Warm Wishes
Kindest Gnomes
Every time we come out with a Gnome set, I have a really hard time resisting it. I don't know why I think these long-haired little old men are so cute, but they are. Specially when you pair them with an adorable mushroom home. These little guys really are just the cutest! The mushroom house and the tiny fox are cut from the matching pattern paper. The gnome is stamped and colored in using our Blends alcohol markers. I loved this Suite so … [Read more...] about Kindest Gnomes

Merry… Christmas?
What? Too soon? I know, I've raced by Fall and I'm now on to Christmas. Actually, not really. It's just this one card. I found one very similar to this on Stampin Up's Facebook group and I love the simplicity of it. This uses the tree rings from the Rings of Love pattern paper, which I cut out. Then I stamped the leaves and die cut more leaves and the berry springs to go with it. The Rings of Love paper is one of the free Sale-a-bration … [Read more...] about Merry… Christmas?
