I've been in a Christmas card mood lately, so while the feeling lasts, I'm getting a few more Christmas cards made for my next OWH box. The deadline for getting those Christmas cards to OWH is the end of the month, so there's no time like the present to finish them up.I'm using Soft Stone cardstock by PTI & Cherry Cobbler by SU! along with Jingle dp by LilyBee. For this, I adhered strips of dp and cardstock to a scrap piece of cardstock, and then cut it using the top note die. After cutting, I embossed the entire piece with a sizzix snowcap ef. The snowflakes were stamped in the background using coordinating colors. The ornament punch was embossed with white, and the scalloped circle was edged with a gold paint pen while still in the die.
This was done with a stamp set I won recently from Julie over at the Stars & Stamps birthday bash. It's by recollections and was done using cherry cobbler and baja breeze inks. Again, I'm using dp from the Jingle pack. I just love those little trees :) This one was quick and easy, and I'll be making several more of this design.

The monsoon returns tomorrow, but we had a fantastic week, so I won't complain.
See ya soon!

Carol, Both of these cards are great. It's nice to see non-conventional colors for Christmas cards. I've been doing that also, just to change it up. I love the papers you used in the first card and thatembossing folder. Talk to you soon. Off to work today.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous papers, and I especially love the look of that first one with the top note die!
