CHRISTMAS CARDS

I've been working on some Christmas cards lately.
Some for classes and some just for myself.

I love so many of our new  products featured in Holiday Expressions 2016.

                        Here I used Perfectly Pine and Hello Winter stamp sets.
They are both so versatile, they can be used for Christmas, winter or even camping/outdoor scrapbook pages.

It's hard to see but I used the Shimmer Brush on the pine cones and the branches which adds just the right amount of glitz.
The red strip on the left side is our Shimmer trim cut in half.
I also used retired sequins and twine for the embellishments.

The colours are New England Ivy, Cocoa, Cranberry and Chocolate for the sentiment.







Although the next cards both use the Oh Deer paper pack they look completely different.

On the first one I used White and Sea Glass Glitter paper for the Thin Cut Snowflakes.
The Sea Glass cardstock and ink are used for the sentiment, which is one of the
Mini Christmas French stamps Joyeux Noel




The second card uses the negative cut for the main mat in White Glitter paper and the snowflake is Sea Glass Glitter paper. 
All mounted on Sea Glass cardstock, and a White Daisy Card base.




This last card uses a variety of Cricut cuts for the deer and the trees.
The sentiment is from the Very Merry stamp set and is stamped in Cocoa ink.



Thanks for looking.

HAPPY HAPPY CHRISTMAS DISPLAY TRAY

One of the beautiful products that's available during the Happy Happy Christmas promotion is our wonderful display tray.

I have made quite a few the past couple of years but thought
I would just show you a couple of them.

The first one is in memory of my mom who passed away in 2002.



The next one is my beautiful granddaughter Sarah and her new husband Jon.
These are their engagement photos.

COZY CHRISTMAS FUN

I've been having so much fun creating with the new Cozy Christmas Thin Cut Bundle.
This bundle is such great value as it includes both the thin cuts and the matching
My Acrylix Stamp set  for $34.50. You can't see in the photos but the thin cuts have a lovely little bevelled edge.

This first card is a Mom and Me class.
The kids were 7 yrs. old and were incredible.
They were very talented and quick learners.
They even figured out how to open our old ink pads by themselves!
They arranged the snow people like there own family, very cute.



Paper: White daisy, Crystal blue
Ink: Pacifica, New England Ivy, Willow, Black, Cranberry, Tangerine, Chocolate, Pixie, Saffron
Other: Shimmer brush


The next 2 cards use our new snowflake embossing folder as well.



Paper: White daisy, Cranberry
Ink: New England Ivy, Black, Sapphire, Tangerine, Chocolate
Other: Bitty Sparkles, Carmine shinhan marker, Snowflake embossing folder


This snow "shaker" card was inspired by my downline. It uses clear acetate in the window and is filled with sequins and glitter.

Paper: White daisy, Cranberry
Ink: Black, Cranberry, Willow, Sapphire, Tangerine, Chocolate
Other: Snowflake embossing folder, sequins and glitter, acetate, foam tape

The last item is a little Christmas treat that I scraplifted from Tracy Lunceford on the CTMH bulletin board. Thank you Tracy, these are super cute!


Paper: Cranberry, White Daisy, Black Glitter
Ink:  Cranberry, Black, Willow, Tangerine
Other:  Hershey Nuggets Candies, Ribbon, 1 1/2 x 7 Treat Bags, Red Stickles
