Bells Are Ringing

Hi everyone!

Bells Are Ringing is another retiring bundle from the Holiday Catalog.  Thank goodness it's still available (through January 2, 2020), because I have a feeling you may want to add this to your collection if you haven't already ordered it.

While my card is for New Year's, I think it would make a beautiful wedding card as well! What do you think?

Cheers!

Greetings stampers!

It's hard to believe the decade is ending in a couple of days!  So, to mark the occasion, I have a couple New Year's cards to share with you this week.  But before I get to that, I announced my 2020 Spring Mini and Sale-a-bration catalogs paper share a couple of days ago.  The papers are gorgeous; you won't regret picking up the sampler so you can see and use them yourself!  In case you missed it, click here for all the details.

My card for today is Cheers!  I combined elements from Sip Sip Hooray and Cheers To That to create my card.  While these bundles are retiring, they are available through January 2, 2020.

Peaceful Boughs

Hello stampers! 

As we wind down the days until Christmas, I have a final Christmas card for you.


I used the beautiful Peaceful Boughs bundle to make this card.  The boughs were stamped in Pretty Peacock ink on a piece of Pretty Peacock card stock.   I added Shimmery Crystal Effect to some of the branches.  The falling snow was stamped in Delicata Silvery Shimmer.  The background panel was adhered to a piece of Silver Foil.  The sentiment was also stamped in Delicata Silvery Shimmer and cut out with a die from the Beautiful Boughs dies.  The sentiment panel was attached to a piece of Silver Foil cut out with the same die.  A piece of 3/8" Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon tied in a bow finished off the card.

3 x 3 Christmas Cards

I recently had a special order for more of the adorable 3" x 3" gift enclosure Christmas cards.  This size card is too small to be mailed on it's own, but is the perfect addition to a your Christmas gift.

Today I'm sharing several cards so you can get an idea of how versatile and easy they are.

These cards are made with the Brightly Gleaming, #ELFIE, and Tiny Keepsakes stamp sets

These cards are made with the Let It Snow suite

There's still time to make up some of these for your gifts!
