Nothing says "Merry" like this!

 Hi there and thanks for stopping by today.  I just wanted to share a couple cards I made using the Brushed Merry stamp set by The Ton.  Nothing screams Merry louder than this awesome stamp!

I have made quite a few cards using this stamp set.  It's straight and to the point and what an impact!  I can picture this "Merry" up on my friend's mantle on display and wow, they'll be able to see it from across the room.  Nothing subtle here.

For this first card I flipped over a large round stamp from the Spot On stamp set by Catherine Pooler Designs.  I saw my friend Deepti Stephens do this during our Foundations Box Blog Hop last week and I just had to give it a try.  I'm loving those extra large polka dots with that giant Merry and a big diecut  bow to top it off.  It reminds me of a Christmas present ready to be unwrapped.

And holy cow, check out this embossing!  I am loving this Brushed Merry embossed in silver!!  I did a little coordinating embossing along the edge of the card to tie it all in.

 Stamps: Brushed Merry (The Ton), Spot On (Foundations Box/Catherine Pooler Designs).

Ink: Rockin' Red (Foundations Box/Catherine Pooler Designs), Soft Garden, Bright Fern, Crystal Pewter (The Ton), clear emboss (Versamark).

Paper: white 100 lb cardstock (Foundations Box/Catherine Pooler Designs), lipstick red (Simon Says Stamp).

Accessories: Whirl Wreath dies (Penny Black), silver embossing powder (Ranger), fun foam, silver sequins.

I embossed the heck out of  this next card using  this fantastic Blue Tinsel embossing powder by Ranger.   I added some snowflakes from CAS-ual Friday's  Bring on The Snowflakes stamp set, topping them off with a little extra bling by adding clear jewels.

Stamps: Brushed Merry (The Ton), Snowy Sayings, Bring on the Snowflakes (CAS-ual Fridays), Yay Stripes! (Catherine Pooler Designs).

Ink: clear emboss (Versamark).

Paper: White 100 lb cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).

Accessories: Blue Tinsel embossing powder (Ranger), fun foam, clear gems.

Look at those clean stripes at the bottom of this card using this amazing embossing glitter and  Catherine Pooler Designs YAY Stripes!  stamp set.  I have to say these photos do not do this card justice.  This Blue Tinsel is drop dead gorgeous!

That's all for me here today but I'm guesting blogging over on Catherine Pooler's blog this week so stop on over.  I have another fun Christmas card over there using more supplies from the Foundations Box. 

Have a great day and happy stamping!!
