Red and Green Christmas

Happy Friday!  Are you as happy as I am that this week is finally over??  It has been a VERY long one around here.
Today I have a project I designed for my final set of Christmas card buffets this season. Recently a customer remarked that I really don't do red-and-green Christmas cards...and when I thought about it, she was right! I tend otoavoid traditional Christmas colours like the plague...LOL.  So, today I am rectifying that with a very traditional colour palette...

Christmas card featuring the Jolly Christmas stamp set.

How's that for traditional??  I used Real Red, Old Olive and Whisper White, along with a hit of gold glimmer.  I stamped the Real Red background with the snowflake images from the Jolly Christmas stamp set using ink of the same shade. I also sponged the edges to add some depth. The DSP strip is from the Merry Moments pack.

I added a tree die-cut from white Corrugated Paper using the Perfect Pines Framelits (which are ON SALE THIS WEEK!). The sentiment is die-cut from gold Glimmer paper using the Wonderful Wreath framelits. I also added a little Reindeer Clip and a Real Red Candy Dot for his nose. The whole card is built on an Old Olive card base.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Versatile Christmas set in Real Red ink and added a little gold glimmer star.

I hope you have a fabulous weekend...be sure to check in on Sunday for a new sketch challenge from Sunday Stamps.  Till then, happy stamping!

Joy to the World

Happy October and happy Friday! Are you sick of Christmas cards yet?  I sure hope not, because I still have lots to share with you :) So many amazing ideas swimming around in my brain and so little time to bring them to life.  I can't wait for the weekend when I'll have time to spend in my studio again.

Today I have a rather elegant, yet simple project for you:

Christmas card featuring the Jolly Christmas stamp set.

I don't think I could have used more new Holiday Catalogue products on this project if I tried!  The stamped images are from the Jolly Christmas set and are heat embossed in gold. The thick Whisper White card base is embossed using the Woodland TIEF. The strip of DSP is from the Winter Wonderland Specialty DSP pack.

I used some gold Cording Trim and a wooden Snowflake Element by way of embellishment.  I love the way that combination of embellishments works on both rustic and more elegant ones just as easily.  Such fabulous products!

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Jolly Christmas set in Soft Suede ink and the antlers from the Wonderland set in the same ink, but stamped off once before stamping inside the card, resulting in a lighter shade.

This is another one of the projects that will be part of the offerings at my Handmade for the Holidays Christmas card buffets at the end of this month. If you're local to Cambridge I'd love for you to join us!  Click HERE for more information.
