Christmas is Perfect

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!  I have three cards to share with you today!

Two of which I created a few months ago for a call Card Maker Magazine had and they were accepted!!

They are in the Card Maker Winter 2017 Issue pg. 37!!

It's always so much fun to see your work printed!!

Here is a close-up of the two:

They were looking for quick and easy holiday cards!!  I love the simplicity of what I came up with!!

I used a strip of Winter Plaid paper on the right of each card.  And used the gorgeous Poinsettia Tangle stamp set to stamp the poinsettia in colored ink!  The sentiment is from the set as well!  I absolutely love this sentiment!!

Such a fun design to create a bunch of quick holiday cards!!  

Here is one more I created for this post today:

I switched up by flipping the orientation of my layout and using a different sentiment!  I decided to add some pearls to the center of my poinsettia as well!! 

Simple, yet so elegant!!

For my project I used my Cameo to cut out this fun Hanger Treat Envelope I found here as a free download!

I used a piece of Winter Plaid and Red Sweater for my layers on my package!!

I used the gorgeous Poinsettia Tangle stamp set for my poinsettia image!!  I absolutely LOVE this stamp set!!  All the detail is just so amazing!!  I decided to stamp the poinsettia on vellum and emboss with white embossing powder!!

I also used the new coordinating Poinsettia Die!!  I love not having to fussy cute the image!!  Plus the set includes a die to cut out part of the middle section, so you can layer the poinsettia like I did!!  Makes it so fun and simple!  LOVE it!!

For my sentiment, I used the new Merry Christmas Layer Die!

I love this die set!  So many fun options!!  

I ended up putting some yummy Andes candies in my package, but a gift card would be an awesome idea as well!  Or candy and a gift card!!

Perfect for the Holidays!!

I'm so excited, the holidays are right around the corner!!  The spirit has hit me the last few days!!

For my hop project, I decided to focus on creating a 3D Gift Box for a special gift for my mom!  She's been through a lot these last few weeks!

I purchased two birthstone charms (my kids birth months) for her charm bracelet she recently got, as well as a rhinestone heart charm!  I thought it would be super special to create a special box to present them to her in!

So I started by finding a cute .svg box file I really liked!  I cut it out on my Cameo two times!  This box actually cuts out as one piece!  I wanted to cut one layer up so that I could use two different pieces of pattern paper!

I used a piece of lovely Holly Days Paper  (top) and a piece of Red Sweater Paper (bottom)! 

 I absolutely LOVE how this box turned out!!    

I really like the Poinsettia Tangle stamp set!!  It is an absolutely gorgeous stamp set!  It's been one of my most go to wintery sets this holiday season!

 The Christmas sentiment from the set is so beautiful!!  What a lovely sentiment!  There are an additional three lovely sentiments in the set as well!!

Here is a close-up of my Poinsettia:

Isn't it beautiful?!?!  I love how it turned out!!  I stamped the image two times on Vellum with VersaMark ink and embossed with a lovely Pearl Embossing Powder!!  

I then fussy cut one the around the entire image and the second I fussy cut only a few of the petals, so that I could use a pop-dot between the two and make it look more 3-dimensional!! 

I think my mom will really like this package!!
