It's Christmas Eve and I just wanted to stop by and wish you all a very
Merry Christmas!
I'm dropping off the last of my Christmas cards along with my holiday wishes to you. Eat, drink, be merry and have a wonderful weekend my friends!
For my first card I diecut a white on white background and then used a large yet simple Sizzix tree die for the focal point. The silver sparkle cardstock from My Favorite Things stands out well onto a white monochromatic background yet still blends in a nice soft way.
This little shaker card was inspired by a card made by Nina-Marie Trapani. I loved how she folded over half of her diecut tree so I thought it would be fun to give it a try. I just happened to have a tree die from Sizzix that I was able to do some partial diecutting with, to achieve the same look. I think it adds a lot of interest and a modern element to my card.
For my next card I used this beautifully detailed tree stamp by Unity Stamps. I stamped it in black, then used some Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color it it. If you look real close you can see the tiniest little Christmas words stamped right into the tree design. Such a festive tree stamp. All the dies I used on this card and the sweet looking sentiment are from Lil' Inker Designs.
This Memory Box deer is one of my favorite dies around Christmas time. I stenciled the background using Simon Says Stamp snowfall stencil and some Faber-Castell glass bead glitter gel. Lots of sparkle and shine on this card!
Check out this Hero Arts Layered Cardinal stamp! Wowee!! Being from "Cardinal Country" and a loyal SVHS fan this little bird flew right into my heart.
This layered bird is so majestic that it just carries the whole card. Clean and simple is all I need along with that large sentiment from The Ton and my favorite Yay Stripes by Catherine Pooler Desigsn. Go Cards!
Thank you so much for stopping by! Now it's time to head off to finish up those last minute holiday preparations and get this party started! See you next week!
