Present with lots of sparkle and baubles!!

This card makes me think of wrapping presents.
I haven’t started wrapping presents yet — have you???
This is another Founders Circle Swap from Jill Olsen.
I love all the different things going on.
It just makes me want to open it up.
JoyThe card base is Whisper White.
There is a strip of Real Red card stock on the bottom.
Then a strip of dotted vellum.
The top piece is from the Holidays Fancy Foil Designer Vellum.
There’s only a short time left to get this great paper.
Then she cut a strip of the Real Red Pompom Trim and
some of the Silver Cording Trim and tied a bow
tucking the pompom trim into the bow as she tied.
Joy from the Your Presents stamp set is stamped in Real Red
on Whisper White and punched out with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch.
The 2″ Circle Punch was used to punch out Silver Glimmer Paper.

This is definitely a sweet and simple card.
Could easily make a punch of these and get them
in the mail before Christmas.

Jingle All the Way

The Jingle All the Way stamp set and Sleigh Ride Edgelits
have been a huge hit in the Holiday Catalog.
I think almost every one of my stampers now own this bundle.
The possibilities with these two items are truly endless.
Jingle All the WayThe card base is Thick Whisper White.
Next is a layer of the Silver Foil Paper — it adds just the right amount of sparkle.
Then Whisper White that has been embossed with the
Softly Falling embossing folder.
Each of the layers were cut out twice — once from regular card stock
and then again from the Silver Foil Paper.
The houses were cut from Basic Gray.
The trees from Smoky Slate.
Santa and his sleigh were cut from Whisper White.
I love the dimensional look this card has.
This was a swap I received at Founder’s Circle.
Such a beautiful card.

Happy Scenes Shimmer and Sparkle

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!
Well the decorations are out and abound but no snow.
We've have two snowfalls here in Northern Illinois.
The first was November 19-20 — we got 13" at our house.
Then earlier this week we had a couple of inches.
Now it's 50 degrees again, so I thought today's card
could bring us a little snow
Happy ScenesThis is a swap card I received at Founder's Circle.
I love the sweet simplicity.
The snow was created with the Softly Falling embossing folder.
The trees are from the Happy Scenes stamp set
(it's retiring – did you order it yet)
and embossed with Silver Embossing Powder.
This layer is attached to Silver Glimmer Paper and
attached with dimensionals.

Such a beautiful card.
Have you mailed out your Christmas cards yet?
I'm addressing mine this weekend and plan to get them
in the mail early next week.
Are you on my mailing list to receive one?
