Candy Canes and Holly

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using your favorite Christmas DSP. I love the colors and patterns in the Santa’s Workshop DSP pack. I wanted to show off the beautiful paper, so I kept the sentiment and additions fairly simple.

All is Bright Suite

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card featuring one of the Holiday Catalog Suites. As soon as I got my catalog, I knew I needed to have the All is Bright Suite! I love the color combinations, the paper, accessories, and all the coordinating stamp sets! This card is all about using the various elements from that suite.  I had fun layering various elements to create a full card. My favorite part is the addition of the paper clip.

Brighten Up Your Christmas

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card featuring your favorite Holiday Catalog stamp set. I'm always a sucker for a good simple Christmas stamp set. The Making Christmas Bright stamp set is just the thing! I've already made a few cards using it and wanted another fun and simple card. I simple filled my white piece with strings of lights, added some layered DSP, and finished off my card with a great sentiment. Easy peasy!

Fun n Crafty Blog Hop

FNC Blog Hop.jpg

It's time for another fun blog hop from the Fun n Crafty Stampers! Today we are celebrating the launch of the Holiday Catalog featuring cards showcasing various products. I choose to highlight my favorite bundle in the catalog with the Making Christmas Bright Bundle. I love the fun Christmas light images. So I created a card by stamping and punching a ton (and I do mean a ton) of separate bulbs and casings. I found a fancy trick to making stamping and punching easy. I punched out the image from a piece of random scrap paper and used that as a stamping template. So easy! From there, I spent some time varying the colors to create a fun multi-colored light strand. Love this card so much!
