Lovely As A Tree

Here's another pretty Christmas card using the Lovely As A Tree set with the Top Note Die Cut.  I received this from my upline, Angie.  It's hard to see in the photo, but she used the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint on the Early Espresso and Very Vanilla Card Stock to give it the same effect as the Shimmery White Card Stock...it's really beautiful!

She also used the Top Note Die Cut for the wording on the inside.  The wording is from the Occasional Quotes Level 3 Hostess Set.

Holly & Jolly Rub-Ons Mug

This is the 3-D Project my Stamp Club made this month, a cute Mug and Mug Mat Gift Set.  We used the Holly & Jolly Rub-Ons to create the mug and tag and the Deck the Halls Designer Fabric and Buttons for the mat. The Champagne Glass Glitter finished the edge of the tag...I love it!  You can find it in the Holiday Mini Catalog. 

This was the first time I've used the Rub-Ons...what a quick and simple way to decorate a gift, card, or scrapbook page.  The fabric and batting for the mug mat was cut using the Bigz Clear Scallop Square die and the Big Shot...very simple! 

The Deck the Halls Designer Fabric is 50% off until November 30th...it's an excellent price for this beautiful fabric!  Check out all of the discounted products at this link and click on "Visit my Online Store"...Online Spectacular.

Greeting Card Kids Club Project

 

This is the card we made at Stamp Club this week using the Greeting Card Kids set.  I really like the Deck the Hall Designer Paper used here.  The combination of papers, Victoria Crochet Ribbon and lots of sponging around the edges gives this a vintage, antique look that works well with this image.  The finished size of this card is 4 1/2 x 4 1/2".  As always, if you'd like all the measurements, just leave a comment or email me.

Remember, you can save 20% on the Vintage Christmas Card Bundle, which includes the Bells & Boughs Set and Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper, used here.  Be sure to use these item numbers to get the discounted price...

Greeting Card Kids

I was working with the Greeting Card Kids stamp set to come up with a Christmas card project for my Stamp Club this week.  This was my first attempt...it's not really what I was going for, but it was a good jumping off point, and got my creative juices flowing for the end result. 

My Club members will be the first to see the final card, so I'll post it after we meet this week on Tuesday.  It's one of two free projects my Club members will be making this month.  A new Stamp Club will be starting in January, to learn more about it or to join our group, Click Here.
