From my family to yours – wishing you a very Merry Christmas today!
I hope you’re able to enjoy today surrounded by the ones you love.
Today I thought I’d share some cards that I received for Christmas this year. It brings me so much joy when I receive a card, be it handmade or store bought.

Have a great day everyone and a very Merry Christmas!!!
The Designer Series Paper and Embellishments in the Holiday Catalog have been great!!
I didn’t want the last bits to go to waste, so I decided to use them up in a few last minute Christmas cards.
My card starts off with Tranquil Tide cardstock on which I adhered a pattern from the Joyous Noel Designer Series Paper.
Next I took another pattern and matted it on Whisper White cardstock. I then stamped the sentiment from the Labels to Love Stamp Set in Merry Merlot ink on Whisper White cardstock.
Using my Paper Trimmer, I cut two slits in either end of it and wound some beautiful Merry Merlot/Gold Ribbon through it.
I then tied a bow for the corner using the same ribbon and added a star embellishment.
Enjoy!

This month’s Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop theme is “Celebrate”.
I decided to make a card celebrating friendship during the holidays.
My card starts off with Mossy Meadow cardstock. I then took a panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and stamped the Buffalo Check Stamp Set in Memento Black ink over it. I then matted it on Whisper White cardstock.
Next I used the Foliage Frame Framelits to cut out a frame (Soft Suede) and other floral details to go behind it (Mossy Meadow, Shaded Spruce, Pool Party). I also added some Burlap Ribbon behind it all.
Next I cut out a circle using the Layering Circle Framelits from Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Winter Woods Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow ink and the pinecone in Soft Suede ink (stamping off twice first).
Lastly, I added a Cherry Cobbler bow to finish it off and adhered everything down with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Enjoy!

Hello friends.
I am in full Christmas mode over here – shopping, baking, and trying to get in the overall spirit.
And yes, still making Christmas cards. Believe it or not, I’m still a bunch short.
My card today starts off with Real Red cardstock. I took a Stamping Sponge and used Soft Suede ink to add some dark color to the edge of the card front.
I then took a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock and embossed it using the Simple Stripes Embossing Folder. I took the same sponge and added Soft Suede color to the outside of this as well and then matted it on Whisper White cardstock.
Next I used the Alpine Adventure Stamp Set and stamped the snow shoes in Soft Suede ink. I used the masking technique to give the impression that one was over the other. I then fussy cut this out and adhered it down using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment from the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set in Real Red ink, cut out two snowflakes using the Alpine Sports Thinlits, and added a Real Red bow over the snowshoes.
Enjoy!

Today’s Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop is a sketch challenge. Happy hopping!
My card today starts off with Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I then took a panel of Whisper White cardstock and matted it on Mossy Meadow cardstock.
On the Whisper White, I used the Christmas Pines stamp set and stamped the pines in Mossy Meadow ink. I also cut out a bunch of pines from Mossy Meadow and Old Olive cardstock using the Pretty Pines Thinlits.
Next I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink on Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it. I then matted this on Gold Foil and wound behind it some Gold Thread.
I used the Pretty Pines Thinlits to create a pinecone using Early Espresso cardstock and Gold Foil. I tied a Linen Thread bow over the top of it.
Enjoy!

This week Hand Stamped Sentiments has a great sketch challenge for you. Be sure to head over and play along – I LOVE all the different layers!
My card starts off with Shaded Spruce cardstock which I embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder.
Next I took two patterns from the Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper. One I adhered to the right of the card and the other I used the Stitched Shapes Framelits to cut out a circle.
Did you know we’re getting Rectangle Stitched Framelits in the 2019 Occasions Catalog!!!!
Next I cut a panel from Real Red cardstock to slide under the circle.
Then I used the Alpine Adventure Stamp Set and stamped the sleigh in Early Espresso ink and the sentiment above it in Real Red ink on Whisper White cardstock. I used the Alpine Sports Thinlits to cut out the bow from Real Red cardstock and holly from Old Olive cardstock.
Enjoy!

I was stumped with today’s card.
I didn’t know whether I should use Cherry Cobbler or Real Red cardstock, so I took to my Facebook page for help.
Although there were a few Real Red fans, Cherry Cobbler won hands down.
So my card today starts off with Cherry Cobbler cardstock which I embossed using the Swirls and Curls Embossing Folder.
Next I took a panel of Whisper White cardstock and used the Beautiful Baubles Stamp Set to stamp the ornaments all along it. I stamped them in Versamark ink, sprinkled them with Gold Embossing Powder, and heat set it. I then matted this on Gold Foil.
I wrapped around the panel some Cherry Cobbler Cotton Thread. I tied a bow and attached a piece of Mini Sequin Trim.
Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink on Gold Foil, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder, and heat set it.
Enjoy!

This week’s Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop is a color challenge. Happy hopping!!
My card today starts off with Real Red cardstock. I then matted a pattern from the All is Bright Designer Series Paper on Whisper White cardstock.
I took a panel of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the candy cane image from the Many Blessings Stamp Set in Memento Black Ink and the greens around it in Shaded Spruce ink.
I used Crumb Cake, Real Red, and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers to color the images in. I then matted this on Shaded Spruce cardstock.
I cut two small panels from the Shaded Spruce pattern from the All Is Bright DSP. I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink on the panels, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder, and heat set it.
Enjoy!

My card today starts off with Real Red cardstock which I embossed using the Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder.
Next I stamped the frame from the Swirly Frame Stamp Set in Real Red ink on Whisper White cardstock. I then stamped the snowmen in Memento Black Ink from the Spirited Snowmen Stamp Set. I used Basic Black, Old Olive, Real Red, and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers to color it in.
I matted this on Gold Foil and wrapped around a Real Red bow.
Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from the Many Blessings Stamp Set in Versamark ink. When I sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder and noticed that some got on the ribbon as well. I really loved the sparkle that the gold added to the ribbon so I decided to just heat the ribbon and sentiment together.
Enjoy!
