Now for a fun holiday project...

 Don't you just love that little sparkly reindeer?? He is one of my all-time favourite holiday dies from the Santa's Sleight Thinlits. The background is a piece of Be Merry DSP which I adhered to a Cherry Cobbler card stock base. I layered 3" x 4" pieces of Garden Green and Whisper White card stock, embossing the white with the Softly Falling TIEF. 

 The sentiement is stamped in Basic Black ink and then die-cut using the Stitched Shapes framelits. I added some Garden Green pine boughs, die cut with the Christmas Staircase Thinlits and some gold mini sequin trim behind the die-cut label. As mentioned above, the reindeer is die-cut from gold glimmer paper.

 On the inside I added a piece of Whisper White card stock on which I stamped the sentiments from the Santa's Sleigh stamp set in Basic Black and then the wreath and bow in Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler ink respectively. 

This is a super-quick and easy card to put together if you are finding yourself rushed to get your cards made and in the mail this season!

Christmas Blessings

Happy Hump Day...half way to the weekend and it's all downhill from here :) Today also marks day three of the BIG Online Extravaganza Sale...have you checked out the amazing deals yet? Don't miss out on this chance to pick up great items for Christmas crafting and gift-giving at great prices.

Today I have another card to share that uses some more of that yummy new Falling in Love DSP from the upcoming Occasions Catalogue. Check this one out...

Talk about a WOW and it is the DSP that does all the work! Here I simply heat embossed the sentiment (from the Christmas Pines stamp set) in gold, added some spatters of gold Wink of Stella and then layered it on a Sahara Sand card stock base. The reindeer is die cut from gold glimmer paper using the Santa's Sleigh framelits.

I used gold 5/8" satin ribbon and some Sweet Sugar Plum ruched ribbon from the Annual Catalogue, as well as some Fancy Frost and Metallic gold sequins. So easy!!

On the inside, I added a panel of Very Vanilla card stock on which I stamped a sentiment from the Christmas Pines stamp set in Sahara Sand ink and added some little snowflakes using (retired) Encore Metallic Gold ink.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Sleigh and Pines

I am so excited! Tonight is my third of six Christmas card buffets this season. I thought I would show you one of the projects that will be available to my guest this evening...

Isn't that sleigh yummy in copper? I love the contrast of the copper foil against the Early Espresso base.  Both were cut using the Santa's Sleigh thinlits. The background panel is a piece of Kraft card stock that I embossed using the Woodgrain TIEF. The pine branches were die-cut using the Pretty Pines thinlits from Old Olive and Garden Green card stock.

The sentiment is from the Santa's Sleigh stamp set and is stamped in Early Espresso ink on a strip of Kraft card stock. The only embellishments here are some copper metallic thread behind the sleigh and some Real Red stitched satin ribbon.

On the inside I added a Very Vanilla panel on which I stamped the sentiment is Early Espresso ink, the wreath in Old Olive and the little bitty bow in Real Red. All of the images are from the Santa's Sleigh stamp set.

Have a thrilling Thursday...one more day till the weekend!!
