Perfectly Plaid

Hi Everyone,

While I love making Christmas cards and start in August, sometimes you just need a quick one to get caught up.  This card comes together very quickly and I think looks really pretty.  I used some of the 6 x 6 DSP from the annual catalog.  I had skipped over these for a while but I'm so glad I gave in and bought them.  You can buy them in each color family and the patterns are really pretty.  They will be perfect for the whole year long.

Hope you enjoy!

Joy with So Many Stars

Hi Everyone,

For today's card I brought out my Stamparatus for some Hinge Step Stamping.  It's really easy to do and lines up the stamps so perfectly so there is no guesswork.  It's just 1 of the great features of the Stampartus.

While I wanted the piece with Joy on it to be the focal point, I added some other detailing as well.  It's harder to see in the picture but the Merry Christmas is embossed with Copper and in the video I show you a quick trick on using a star die as an embossing tool.

Hope you enjoy!

Ornament Card

Hi Everyone,

While I love all of the DSP in the Holiday Catalog sometimes I feel a little boxed in with the color choices and use the same colors over and over to match the DSP.  So why not make your own backgrounds using stamps?  Then you can mix and match any colors you would like together.

I just love Basic Black and Real Red together for Christmas cards.  I think they look so nice and crisp together.  I added just a bit of Whisper White so the card wasn't too dark and I just love how it came out.

Hope you enjoy!

Perfectly Plaid

Hi Everyone,

Christmas is just my favorite time of year and while its not really Christmas time yet I can't seem to stop making Christmas cards.  I usually go for the traditional colors of different shades of reds and greens but every once in a while I like to venture out and use some non traditional colors.

For today's card I paired up some silver and Seaside Spray with Whisper White.  I feel like the softness of the colors go really well together.  There is even some metallic in both ribbons that I added on for some detailing.  I just love how this card came together and hope you do as well.
