Cany Cane Christmas Cards

I was experimenting with this candy cane striped paper and came up with a few different versions of the same basic card.  I put out the stamps and supplies at my last stamp-a-stack so everyone could choose their stamp set and make one of the top two cards.  The bottom card was my first card, but when I realized all of my stamp-a-stack cards were predominately white or vanilla, I decided to switch the colors around.

Watercolor Wishes Christmas

Here's my first Watercolor Wishes card of the season, but I am sure it won't be the last.  It is in the current holiday catalog, and I sure hope to see it in the new big catalog that will come out in June!  At my last stamp-a-stack, some people chose to use the 2 steps to stamp it while others stamped it once in black and then colored with markers or watercolor crayons.

Ornament Keepsakes Christmas Card

I love all of the framelits that coordinate with so many of the stamp sets in the new Holiday Catalog.  The Holiday Ornaments Framelits and the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set are available in a bundle which will save you 15%.  And really, who could buy one without the other? 

We made this card at my stamp-a-stack.  To get the 3-D look, you have to make 3 ornaments per card.  So let's just say my Big Shot got a workout that night!  It would be just fine to make one flat ornament, but I think everyone decided the extra cranks on the Big Shot were worth it!  I used a retired gold cord for this card, but I also like Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine for the bow.  The greeting came from the new stamp set More Merry Messages.
