30 Days of Christmas Cards Day 10

 

I found this cute idea of peek-a-boo patterned paper on Pinterest and had to make my own version. I had finished the card but something was missing... I added the punched tree and star and somehow the card was perfectly finished!

30 Days of Christmas Cards Day 8

 

I bought these Christmas tags last year from the clearance rack and promptly forgot about them in the Christmas supply box. Thank goodness I rediscovered them! These are perfect use as layering pieces on greeting cards. I added some other DSP and afew punched circles. As final touches, I added some washi tape and my favorite accessory: candy dots!

30 Days of Christmas Cards Day 7

 

A fun tree-filled card for today. (Yeah I'm still using the Festival of Trees stamp set!) I stacked a few trees to one side and a large sentiment on the right side. This really is one of my favorite cards that I've made this month. Country is not a style that I gravitate towards, but I'm loving it for this card!

A couple of variations for the stack.

 
  • Stamps: Six Sayings; Festival of Trees
  • Inks: Mossy Meadow; Old Olive; Cherry Cobbler; Pear Pizzaz
  • Cardstock: Trim the Tree DSP (retired); Cherry Cobbler; Whisper White

30 Days of Christmas Cards Day 6

 

A fairly simple card, but sometimes simple cards are the best! I added the "snow" using a pencil eraser and craft white ink. I love the random flakes. A few simple trees and a sentiment completes the card.

30 Days of Christmas Cards Day 5

 

For today's card, I'm again using the awesome retired Festival of Prints paper stack. I decided to run with some diagonal paper strips to create my background. Apparently I'm really digging my Festival of Trees stamp set lately... Prepare to see it for a few more days.

30 Days of Christmas Cards Day 4

 

Two variations of a nice clean design today. I always forget that I own this stars confetti punch. I love the look of having the Old Olive paper peek through. Beyond the stars, I went very clean with a simple palette. I'm a huge fan of these cards.

30 Days of Christmas Cards Day 3

 

Day 3's card celebrates my love of washi tape! I have a huge bin of washi tape and I still buy more when I end up at Michael's or Joann's. For this card, I used washi tape from Stampin' Up. I love that they now sell washi tape that coordinates with all their colors. I love this card so much! I may have to make a few more.

  • Inks: Old Olive; Mossy Meadow; Cherry Cobbler
  • Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler; Old Olive; Whisper White

30 Days of Christmas Cards - Day 2

 

Day 2's card uses a one of SU's retired paper stacks, but one that's still being loved: Festival of Trees! I love that this card has so many great layers. The colors all work together to create a very busy card.

 

I made four different variations using a variety of paper patterns.
