30 Days of Christmas Cards Day 21

Another fun card featuring Festival of Trees and Seasonal Snapshot 2015. I was just about to glue this card down but realized I was missing a few elements. I quickly embossed the strip of Mossy Meadow to give the card some texture. Lastly, I added the tree silhouettes to the circle sentiment to help fill the white space. Perfect!

A Starry Christmas

Today’s card is featured over at Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration and features a Christmas card challenge. This month I also joined Punk Projects for their 30 Days of Christmas Cards challenge.

This is such a great Christmas card! I love the play of textures and pattern. The star embossing folder always gets lost in the bin. Thankfully I pulled it out to use for my Christmas cards. The trick to this card was to emboss only the top 2/3 of the card. From there I added some great patterned paper and punched tree. Fairly simple, but such a great card.

SSINKCC27: Cherry Cobbler, Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive

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

I adore these colors together. I decided to keep my card in the fall/Thanksgiving arena instead of Christmas. Although now I have a ton of Christmas designs using these colors floating around my head. I saw a few cute grid cards online and decided to make my own featuring some great DSP and stamped images. (Note: the purple vines from Into the Woods are technically Rich Razzleberry, but I love their slightly muted look in the card combination. I kept them there but made sure to add my Blackberry Bliss in card stock and stamped images.)

Holiday Hostess

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card featuring a hostess set. I chose my newest stamp set: Six Sayings from the Holiday Catalog. I love big sentiments and this set is perfect! The resulting card is very simple, but I love the mix of pattern paper and large sentiment.

Nutcracker Ornament

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to feature one of the great products from the new Holiday Catalog. Demonstrators were able to preorder from the catalog starting on August 4th. I jumped at the chance to get some new products.

I snapped up the bundle including the Sparkly Seasons stamp set and Seasonal Frame Thinlits. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this stamp set. You'll be seeing a few cards made from this set in the next few months. I had a lot of coloring my nutcracker ornament. I stuck with the traditional red and green color palette, but the varying shades really make this card pop!
