A Coffee Christmas

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card, any card, using any current SU products. So of course I made a Christmas card. One of these days I'll pick up a non-holiday set again... Anyways, I went a little embossing happy this week and embossed about 6 different images. Then I started building cards around those images. This is the result of the first image. I love this little coffee cup! So cute! I wanted to break up my piece of cardstock a bit, and so I added a bit of vellum. From there, I finished off the card with the gold sequin trim. It's a very sparkly card in person!

 

Here's a better shot at the pretty embossed coffee cup!

A Dotty Christmas

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Christmas card. Another card featuring the Merry Moments DSP pack. Can't you tell I love it! I again went simple with my design. I focused on the polka dot print and repeated the circles with the embossing folder and sentiment. Another simple yet cute Christmas card.

SSINKCC28: Tip Top Taupe, Early Espresso, Real Red

Today's card is featured over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration and features a fun color challenge:

 

I somehow ran out of Tip Top Taupe cardstock in my crazy Christmas card frenzy. No worries, I still have the ink! And my Real Red ink just went dry and I don't have a handy reinker. Never fear, I have Cherry Cobbler! Close enough.

For the actual card, I went with this cute reindeer tag that I saw online. Yep, that's my fingerprint. From there, I added a simple sentiment and some dsp. As a final touch, I added a strip of washi tape (couldn't resist the contrasting green).

30 Days of Christmas Cards Day 30

 

For the last day of 30 Days of Christmas Cards, I went a bit crazy with my gold embossing powder. I actually embossed about 10 different images. I'll be using those on other cards or in my December Daily. 

 

Today's card features one of my favorite retired SU stamps: Star Tree. I love the simplicity of this stamp. And yet, I always forget I own it until I start digging in my Christmas supply box As this embossed image is so striking in person, I decided to do a simple pattern paper background and some layering cardstock. The card was still missing something. Thankfully I finally found my misplaced Home for Christmas Enamel Dots. Perfect finish! 

 

Here's a nicer shot for the embossed tree.
