Christmas Card Easel

A different easel card and I'm very happy with the results!  I was inspired by a card that my friend sent me made by Susan.  I started by using the Ornament punch from SU but for some reason it did not go well, but I will try again.  I had purchased the stamp set that Susan used on her card and I really wanted to use it.  It is a very cute set.  I placed a battery operated tealight candle behind the vellum paper opening to use it as a luminary.  Enjoy!

Baby Jesus

After struggling to make this card and even having to walk away from it, I like the way it turned out.  I created the craft DP by stamping with Versamark and colored the image with Pearlescent Chalks.  I just wanted to add a little touch of color and a very soft shine.  The colors from the Paper Players and the sketch from The Sweet Stop were the main ingredients to my inspiration.  Enjoy!

It's about the sentiment

Came across this challenge "Clearly I Stamp" and the sketch got my attention.  The main focus is the sentiment and mine is computer generated.  I moved the sketch to the lower right corner, somehow it fit my idea better.  I used a combination of SU papers and the Poinsettia die from Spellbinder. Enjoy!

Christmas Poinsettia

I had a hard time deciding on a theme, lots of inspiration on this one.  Once I picked the papers, I had to do a Christmas theme and I used the Poinsettia die cut.  What a beauty!!  I embossed the sentiment in gold and added a gold brad to add some sparkle.  This is a sketch I will use again, great possibilities.  Enjoy!

Little Box

The Friday Mashup challenge inspired me to created this project and as usual, I stopped at The Paper Players to check their challenge and the snowman triggered an idea.  I knew I didn't have a small enough stamp but my crafty friend would, so borrow it from her I did.  Tags! More ideas...There She Goes challenge this week is a tag.  Put it all together and I came up with this cute little box full of chocolates with a snowman tag.  That qualifies, right?  I colored the snowman using the blender pen and ink pads, added tiny diamonds and a snowflake to have some bling-bling.  Enjoy.
