TCM Holiday Card Blog Hop

Welcome to The Craft's Meow's Holiday Card Blog Hop. Today, the team is showcasing the many holiday-themed stamps that TCM offers through their online store. If you came from Lindsay's blog, then you're at the right spot. If not, you can check the list of participants on the TCM blog so you don't miss a thing :).

I have two cards for you. My first is classic vintage using my Christmas Angel stamp set. I've been inspired lately by a few shabby chic crafters and created this. The papers are Melissa Frances. I colored the angel with Copic markers and framed it using Spellbinders dies. The sentiment is from Vintage Ornaments, which I framed with Spellbinders Fancy Framed Tags Two. I sprinkled some Want2Scrap LeCreme pearls to add to the vintage feel of the card. I distressed all the edges and inked them.

My second card is more on the Clean and Graphic style using the Holiday Foundations set. The stockings were die cut using my Spellbinders' Sweet Folk Art dies. I used leftover scraps from my mass-produced Christmas card project a from few posts ago. I embellished the stocking with lace.

Your next stop is my friend Sharri, don't forget to stop by the  TCM blog for more info on prizes and more inspiration! Happy hopping!

More CAS Christmas Cards

Happy Saturday! I hope you are having a great weekend. We have plans to surprise our girls today by taking them horseback riding. They don't read my blog, so I can share it here. :). It's been a beautiful fall with all the gorgeous colors that come with it. It's nice to be outside before the winter chill comes.

I have two more versions of the card I shared earlier (and another) using The Craft's Meow's Vintage Snowflakes set. This time I did them in blues! This one uses one of my favorite color combos (as you see on my logo) of aqua and brown.

This one uses Turquoise ink and a touch of yellow. The sentiments on both are from Season's Greetings set. They are easy enough to mass produce and it's so fun to stamp the background!

The Craft's Meow November 2011 Release Hop

The day is finally here for The Craft's Meow's November release, that includes three Nina B Designs sets, Season's Greetings, Vintage Ornaments and Vintage Snowflakes. I hope you are hopping along with us to see some fabulous samples from the DT and for a chance to win some new stamps. You can go to the TCM blog for more info and for the order of the hop.

I have several cards to show you today. The first one uses Vintage Ornaments, Vintage Snowflakes, and It's a Banner Day. I die cut the banners using Spellbinders Banner Basics Three. The papers are Graphic 45.

Here's another take to the CAS card I showed the other day. This time, I heat embossed the snowflakes with white powder and created this dramatic background.

Here's another vintage card using Season's Greetings, Telegram and Vintage Snowflakes sets. The label is die cut using Spellbinders Labels 14. The flower poinsettia was die cut using my SB Layered Poinsettia dies.

TCM Previews: Vintage Ornaments and Vintage Snowflakes

Thank you for joining The Craft's Meow's team for November's previews. Today, we're showcasing two more of my sets, Vintage Ornaments and Vintage Snowflakes. As you know, I love everything vintage and the images on these sets are just that with a modern twist.

My first card uses the ornaments with a snowflake centers and sentiment. The papers are Graphic 45.

My second card uses the same vintage images to create this CAS card. This is so easy to mass produce and uses scraps of paper and buttons. I don't know about you, but I have accumulated more buttons than I need. I just took whatever button colors I have a lot of and coordinated the colors on my card with them. Kraft and red, one of my favorite combos.

Make sure you visit the TCM blog for more inspiration. Please consider joining The Craft's Meow's Facebook page. When they reach 1000 "likes", they will give away the 7 new sets to one random fan. And while there, consider liking the NinaB Designs page as well. You can also grab my NEW badge and/or logo on the left sidebar to display on your blog.
