Reason for the Season Poinsettia

Reason for the Season stamp set from the Holiday Catalog is great for two step stamping.  I just added the Boughs & Berries embossing folder for a little texture.
Viola — a vintage Christmas card.
The ladies at my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack class last month fell in love with this card.
PoinsettiaThe base is Cherry Cobbler — 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" and folded.
Then I cut another piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock — 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" and embossed it with the Boughs & Berries embossing folder.
I cut the "tags" out of Mossy Meadow and Very Vanilla using the
Lots of Labels framelits.
I stamped the "A Very Merry Christmas to You" at the bottom with Cherry Cobbler ink
Then stamp the poinsettia outline with Memento ink.
Stamp the flower insides with Cherry Cobbler ink
Stamp the leaves with Mossy Meadow ink.

Attach the Vanilla stamped label to the Mossy Meadow label.
Attach the Mossy Meadow label to the card front with dimensionals.
This card was a hit!!

Silent Night

Silent Night — Holy Night — All is Calm……
That’s what this card is to me — very peaceful and calm.
It features the Jingle All the Way stamp set and coordinating Sleigh Ride Edgelits.
Silent Night EdgelitsThe card base is Marina Mist with a layer of Night of Navy.
Then I used Shimmery White card stock and the Sleigh Ride Edgelit featuring the houses.  I used the negative for this card and saved the other half for a second card.
After cutting out the houses, I ran the card stock through the Softly Falling embossing folder, keeping the bottom edge clear of dots.
Then I stamped Silent Night with Night of Navy ink.
I used one of the Snowflake Elements, the Fine Tip Glue Pen and Dazzling Diamonds.
Don’t you just love the sparkles!!!

Snow Place Penguin

I LOVE the Snow Place stamp set.
This little penguin is the cutest thing ever!!
It's like playing paper dolls.
Penquin
This was one of the cards we made at my October Christmas Stamp-a-Stack Class.
The card base is Basic Black with a layer of Real Red that was embossed with the Bough & Berries Embossing Folder — stamp Time to Chill with Memento ink.
Next is a 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" square of Basic Black and a 3" x 3" square of Real Red.
Stamp the adorable Penguin on a 2 1/2" Whisper White circle and attach to a Basic Black circle that was cut out using the Circle Collection Framelits.
Stamp the scarf with Real Red, the top hat with Memento and the holly leaves and berries was color with markers — Real Red and Mossy Meadow.
The cool part is there are matching Snow Friends Framelits — no cutting by hand.
