Gifts of the Season

I had to make a Christmas card for a swap with Beckie's downline group. And I love this stamp so this is what I came up with. I'm still building up my current supplies so I had to go with what I had on hand. And I had Night of Navy paper and ribbon. I started by stamping the dove/flourish stamp in Night of Navy. Then I used Red Riding Hood maker to color over the flowers and berries in the flourish. I used the Eyelet Border Punch on one end and tied ribbon around the other end. Then I used Vanilla Smooch Spritz on the dove. See the card below for a better image of that.

All in all, this was a pretty and quick card to make. Remember that you can make something beautiful without spending a lot of time or money! Have a great day!

Northern Hearts Wreath

I was in a stampin' mood today. I also had new stamps to play with, so that's always a good time to stamp! I love the Christmas Collage background stamp that is in the Holiday Mini. Here it is stamped with the Versamark Ink pad on Cherry Cobbler. Cherry Cobbler is one of the new colors in Stampin' Up!'s color line. This color makes me happy. I love it. I even dreamed about it last night, weird, right? I know, but that is how passionate I get over colors. Anyway, I was inspired by a card sample in the Mini Catalog. I didn't have all the products shown in the sample, so I improvised. The blue strip down the side is punched with Eyelet Border in Bashful Blue. The wreath is stamped in a new In Color: Pear Pizzazz. It is stamped twice, the second time I cut the wreath out and distressed it a bit and added two red brads. The whole thing is layered on a Whisper White card.

I love this card, I hope you do too! I did some more stampin' today, so you can expect those to pop up on here in the next few days. Happy Stampin'!
