Painted Christmas to Remember

 Hello and welcome back! I'm finally getting started on my Christmas cards so here's one for you today.

I used the challenges at Sunday Stamps and SUO Challenges for inspiration today.

Once again, this is a pretty simple card. I used one of the Wintry 3D embossing folders on the vellum die cut for a little added texture. This is one of my favorite techniques!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Holly Jolly Christmas

 Hello and welcome back! I'm still behind on my birthday and anniversary cards this month, but I thought I'd start on some Christmas card ideas.

The color challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches this week provided the inspiration for this card.

 I used the Christmas Pinecone Dies to cut the pine boughs out of Shaded Spruce and Pear Pizzazz. I added some bits of adhesive sheet to the back of the Pear Pizzazz before cutting it to make it easier to adhere to the other die cut. The DSP was layered onto some Real Red cardstock and the ribbon was attached before adding it to the card front. After I added the sentiment label, I took another bit of ribbon and tied a bow.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
