Hello Friends!

I have another card to share today that I made with the Christmas word stand up extras and the coordinating Stand up die.

As soon as I saw the Merry drop in word I knew that I had to pair it up with the 

Christmas Statement Set.

Here is how it looks when it is opened up on display.

I really do LOVE this card die and the words that you can drop in.

I can't wait to see what other words are coming!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Ho Ho Ho

Today I used the Ho Ho Ho word for my card.

Above is how it looks when it is closed up and ready to mail.

Here is how it looks when it's opened up.

Those little cuties on the front are from the Hats4critters stamp set.

Season's Greetings

I just love how this card turned out.

It has no stamping on it....all dies!

All the dies are the new pinecone die set.

If you don't have this set yet, you will want it.

It is such  pretty, intricate die set and it comes with the sentiment too.

Thanks for stopping by!

Pinecones2stamp

So excited for the release of today's club set, Pinecones2stamp

The stamps and dies are beautiful!

Definitely one I will try again!

Here is the inside of the card.

Isn't it cool how it opens?

Here is another look at the front of the card when it is all closed up and ready to mail.

Another Reindeer Card

I am sharing another card that I made with the new Reindeer2stamp club set.

I love to get started on my Christmas cards as early as possible so that I don't have to rush during the busy holiday season.

I think this paper is out of stock.  When you find a paper pad that you love at the Stamps of life you should buy a few pads because when it's gone, it's gone!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great Day!

I need to get my samples in the gallery.

Can't wait to see what you come up with when you get yours!

Elf Gifts

These cute little elves are perfect for all your fun Christmas cards!

This new set is called elves2stamp and it's available now at The Stamps of Life.

I used the Large Circle flip it die and the Ho Ho Ho paper pad.

The bow was created with the mini bow die set.

When you flip the die over it looks like this!

I love how the elf turned out!

I used the palette4mirror stamp to create a mirror image of that adorable elf so that I could attach it to the back side.

I am going to create a tutorial of how I do this as it is quickly becoming one of my favorite things to do with flip it cards!

Thanks for stopping by!

Magical Christmas

I absolutely love this new evesf2stamp set.

The little elves are adorable!

For today's card I used a rectangle flip it card die.
The scallop on the right edge was created with Sizzix edgelets Scallops and Zig Zags.

Here is how the card looks when you flip it open.

Check out the gallery because the rest of the team is filling it up with their creations!

Got Treats?

Are you busy, busy getting ready for Christmas?

Me too!

I needed a few last minute boxes for my candy that I made for gifts and the Handle Box Die is perfect!

I created it out of Strawberry Cardstock.

I decorated it with stamps from the Reindeer Pudgie Set.

There are 10 sets in the Pudgies now.

How many do you have?

If you don't have this pudgie and this Handle Box Die  you are missing out on a quick, cute Christmas wrap!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Goliath Christmas Mouse

Happy Friday High Hopes Fans!  

Just 9 more days left till Christmas and if you still have some last minute cards to make this is a quick cute one that you can make with any Sizzix Flip it Die.

I used one of High Hopes older images, Goliath Christmas Mouse.

I colored the image with Prisma Colored Pencils (warm grey, cardinal red, yellow, black)

The patterned paper is from The Paper Studio.

I tied green grossgrain ribbon (Celebrate it) around the card and then glued bells on.

The inside sentiment is Magic of Christmas.

I hope you are enjoying the holiday season and aren't too stressed out with all the "stuff"!

Take some time to stamp and have fun...you'll be glad you did!

Merry Christmas, Eh?

Happy Friday to my High Hopes Fans!

I am sharing a fun High Hopes Christmas Card that I made with one of the older images from High Hopes.

This is Joey Snowy.

He reminds me so much of Frosty the snowman with his happy face!

I colored him with Prisma Pencils (spring green, cardinal red, black, orange)

I used B000 copic marker to outline him.

I created the snow with white Puffy Paint and the glittery stickers are Jollees.

The paper is from my favorite go to pack of Christmas paper by The Paper Studio.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Warmest Wishes

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a great weekend.

Mine was very productive...got the tree up and the house decorated both inside and out!

Here in California, it's a little hard to get in the spirit when it's 75 degrees out but the decorations help.

This snowy card helps too!

I used Warmest Wishes from Stampendous.

It's one large image that is fun to color and makes it easy to make a quick card.

Of course adding the embossed snow adds that special final touch!

I hope you enjoyed todays card and that you find some time to stamp during the busy holiday season!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Be Good - or Elf!

Now that Thanksgiving is over I am working hard on all the Christmas Cards that I need.

I am sure I will be using this fun new set a lot in the next couple of weeks!

This is Seated Elf Cling Set from Stampendous!

This set comes with fabulous cling stamps AND...matching dies!

I colored this adorable elf with colored pencils and blended with gamsol and blending stumps.

The patterned paper is from Bo Bunny and the ribbon is May Arts.

I die cut the gift and the elf and then popped them up on the card with Scrapbook Adhesive's 3D foam.

I hope you got some inspiration from my card today!

I appreciate you stopping by my blog!
