A Very Merry Christmas

Happy Sunday! And Happy Cupcake Inspirations Day! Are you all ready for Christmas? I can't believe how quickly these days are flying by! Santa will be here before we know it! And speaking of Santa, check out this amazing cake for this week's Cupcake Inspiration Challenge!



DEEtails:

I'm all about layers lately, and this card is no exception. I combined some Ski Slope DSP with some Cosmo Cricket patterned paper layered with some Old Olive Patterned Trees. I added a piece of Riding Hood Red card stock with an Eyelet punch border and SU!'s Punches Three tied up with some Mistletoe Ribbon Originals. For that extra special touch, I added some fun, sparkly wooden snowflakes from my stash.

Winter Wonderland 2

Perhaps you are tired of some of the same elements popping into my cards, but I only have a handful of Christmas stamps and I love them to pieces - so I'm getting great use out of them! Today's card is for the Pink Elephant Challenge - Winter Wonderland (and I used a lot of the same elements in my previous Winter Wonderland card).


Here are the DEEtails:

I started out with a Crumb Cake card and layered on my elements including some patterned papers from Cosmo Cricket, some Riding Hood Red Striped Grosgrain ribbon, the stamped image from SU!'s Notably Ornate set, SU! Patterned Trees stamped in VersaMark on Naturals White card stock with a bit of shimmery embossing powder, and some Very Vanilla Seam Binding topped with a Very Vanilla button, threaded with some Baker's Twine.

Winter Wonderland

Every once in a while I like to pile things onto a card and see how it turns out. It's not something I do often, but it seemed to work out on this card.


I made it for this week's Pals Paper Arts Winter White Challenge. It seems like ages since my last PPA challenge... and I did more cream than white... but I'm trying to get back in the swing of things...



Want the DEEtails?

I started with a Naturals White card and starting piling some elements on. I added some Elegant Soiree DSP on some Sahara Sand card stock. I slipped a Decorative Label punch underneath and added a Chat Room rub on sentiment. Then I added the elegant Notably Ornate stamp with Crumb Cake ink on Very Vanilla card stock and cut it out. I added a line of Patterned Trees which I stamped with VersaMark and embossed on Naturals White card stock. Finally, I trimmed my card with some ruffled Very Vanilla Satin ribbon. What do you think?

Patterned Trees

This card was made using the color combination from the Just Add Ink challenge.


DEEtails:

I stamped the Christmas Trees from my Patterned Trees set with VersaMark and embossed them. Then I adhered them to a Scalloped circle from the Scallop Circles #2 Bigz die with some Stampin' Dimensionals. I layered it over a piece of Chocolate Chip card stock, with rounded corners and stamped with the sentiment from my Christmas Greetings set (sorry it's a bit hard to see!). I tied a big Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon bow for a quick and simple card.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Welcome Christmas

Today I'd like to share my creation for the Embellish Magazine Holidays Color Challenge. I love throwing in non-traditional colors in Christmas cards!



Here are the DEEtails:

I stamped and embossed my Patterned Trees on Blushing Bride, Ruby Red and Certainly Celery card stocks. I cut each tree out and layered them onto some book page hills. I added a layer of Chocolate Chip card stock and a Masterpiece Ribbon Originals bow. I stamped my sentiment from the Heard from the Heart set in Chocolate Chip ink on some Pink Pirouette card stock and layered it over my ribbon with some Stampin' Dimensionals. Hope you like it!
