It's an Old Fashioned Christmas

I went old fashioned this year with Christmas cards. All of the DS papers, stamp sets and design elements have a feel of days gone by......

Christmas Cards

Thinking about making your own Christmas cards this year?? Here are a couple of simple ideas:

From the 2011 SU! Holiday Mini, the Big Shot Originals Die "Stocking Accents"  was used to create the candy canes. For the background, "Snow Burst" textured impressions embossing folder.  Stamp set is the "Warmest of Wishes" hostess set. Colors: real red, crumb cake, basic black and whisper white.

From the 2011-2012 SU! IBC, this card was made using the Big Shot XL Die "Tasteful Trim" for Santa's suite. The buckle was made using the "Curly Label" punch. Colors: real red, basic black and whisper white. Stamp set: "Christmas Greetings".

Order by December 5 to receive by December 12!!

Fall Y'all!!

While watering my flowers last night I saw the most beautiful butterfly. Summer was so hot and long! Thankfully we have had a couple of weeks of fall weather.

The butterfly was the inspiration for this card!

Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die

I used the "Beautiful Wings" embosslit die to cut out the butterflies in "Paisley Petals" DS paper. Card stock is basic gray on cajun craze. Very fall!!

The SU! Holiday Mini is available at this link. Take a look!
