3 More Christmas Cards!

Here are some more cards to share with you.

This first card uses the Holly Berry Bouquet dsp (only available until January 3rd) and the Pennant Parade stamp set. The tree was stamped in Wild Wasabi and punched out with the Petite Pennants Builder Punch. Then we stamped the trunk with Early Espresso and popped the trees up with a dimensional. We used the Dazzling Details to make the garland. I love this stuff. (In the Occasions mini, we will have it in Cherry Cobbler, yeah!). Added a Real Red Satin ribbon and the Merry Christmas from Christmas Greetings with a button from the Holly Berry Bouquet, threaded with some Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine.

This next card is cased from Mary Brown. Her card was a Halloween card, but I loved it and made it a Christmas card. The base is Cherry Cobbler with a layer of Vanilla that was embossed with the Stripes embossing folder. Next, Crumb Cake card stock was die cut with the larger of the Two Tags die and sponged with Cherry Cobbler. To make each of the trees, we cut 3 trees with the Stocking Accents die and scored down the center of each one and glued each half of the tree with Tombow to make it 3-d, (clear as mud?) Used the Dazzling Details to make the ornaments on each tree. Oh how the Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details would have looked on these trees.....Added a strip of Cherry Cobbler with the saying from Christmas Greetings (told you that I loved this stamp set.....). Added a button (sorry it is retired, but looked so good with this card) tied with Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine and a jingle bell. The bow is the 1 1/4" Grosgrain Cherry Cobbler ribbon. Mary has a great tutorial on how to make these bows, so don't forget to check out her blog.

This last card was cased from Becky Roberts, another great demonstrator. This card base is Old Olive and uses the Sweets for the Sweet stamp set. Love this set, not sure why I haven't used it more. I loved how Becky made the candy look like the mints that are wrapped in cellophane. I used Whisper White 3/8" Taffeta ribbon and also the 1/8" Real Red ribbon for the candies. The Whisper White piece was embossed with the Snow Burst embossing folder and we used the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch in Real Red for each side.
