White Christmas


White Christmas was the first set I ordered from the new holiday catalog.  There were so many to pick from that I decided to pick a favorite first for my demonstrator group swap.  Since then I have ordered many more of my favorites :-)  

I used my 2-way glue pen to put Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the trees and in the snow which really adds a lot in real life!  The photopolymer makes it easy to get the snowman situated on the snow just right and also helped to hang the banner from the trees.  No more crossing your fingers and hoping you line it up right!

Wonderous Wreath

This Wonderous Wreath stamp set with coordinating framelits dies makes it so easy to make a "fancy" card. The wreath is a 2 step stamp to give the two colors and then a 3rd stamp adds the berries - easy.  Then run all of the pieces, including joy, through the Big Shot.  It's that simple!

*hint* - layer a piece of wax paper between the framelit and paper to make it easier to release the words.

Deck the Halls with Festival of Trees


This stamp set features a lot of new but one old stamp set too.  My Deck the Halls greeting comes from a retired set, but I just had to add it to a card with Chirstmas trees on it!  I used the new Filigree Frame Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the new Festival of Trees.  This set is photopolymer which makes it very easy to line up the tree decorations.  I will be making this card Friday and Saturday at my stamp-a-stack and I think my stampers will agree.

Endless Wishes Christmas


This card design came from a card swap designed by Julie Davison.  But I didn't have the same stamp set she did so I had to be creative.   I pulled out my new Endless Wishes stamps and used Merry Christmas from Sassy Salutations.  Julie's snowflakes were bigger so I decided to switch up the colors to make my smaller snowflakes seem bolder.  She tied an All Is Calm Snowflake Embellishment to her card which was beautiful, but because I used a different size greeting there really wasn't room.  I added some Rhinestones to bling it up a little bit.
