Tags til Christmas Ornament Card

I used the Tags til Christmas set to make this card.
I was inspired by this card I saw on Splitcoast here.
I started with Real Red card stock. I ran some Whisper White thru the Big Shot with the Snow Burst embossing folder. I stamped the ornament and "do not open til Christmas" stamp in Real Red. I used the Ornament punch to punch out the ornament and the 1 inch Circle punch on the other one. I stamped the Dec 25 one in Old Olive and punched it out with the Decorative Label punch. I used my Real Red and Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers to color in the holly stamp and punched it out with the Small Oval punch. I popped up all the ornaments with Stampin' dimensionals and added some Hemp twine. I stamped Season's Greetings from Curly Cute in Real Red. Finally, some 1/8 inch Real Red taffeta finishes it off.

Very Merry Card

This card uses the Stamping 411 Sketch#226 here. And I combined it with the Splitcoast Color Combination#346 here.   The colors to use are Rich Razzleberry, Island Indigo and Baha Breeze.
The base is Baha Breeze. I ran some Island Indigo thru the Big Shot with the Snow Burst embossing folder. I added some Rich Razzleberry DSP from the Patterns DSP Brights Stack. I stamped the snowman image from Tags til Christmas in Baha Breeze and used the Razzleberry and Indigo Stampin' Write markers to color in the hat and scarf. I punched it out with the 1 3/4 inch Circle punch and trimmed it down a bit.I used that same punch for the Breeze circle. I used the Circles #2 die for the Indigo circle. I punched the Razzleberry piece with the 2 3/8 inch Scallop circle and popped up all of it with Stampin' dimensionals. I stamped Very Merry from Short and Sweet in Indigo. Finally, some 3/8 inch Whisper White taffeta ribbon finishes it off.

Splitcoast Color Challenge #300

Over at Splitcoast Stampers it's the Color Challenge#300 and you get to choose which color combos you want to do. So I choose CC233-Real Red, Chocolate Chip and Kraft or Crumb Cake. I still need Christmas cards!
I started with running the Real Red card stock thru the Big Shot with my Northern Flurry textured impressions embossing folder. I added some dots to the centers of the smaller snowflakes with my White gel pen. I stamped the Dec 25 tag from Tags til Christmas in Chocolate Chip and punched it out with the Decorative Label punch. I stamped it again in Real Red, cut out the oval and popped it up with Stampin dimensionals. I added a scrap of the 3/4 in Real Red polka-dot ribbon which is retired. I added a 5/8 inch Chocolate Chip Jumbo brad. And onto the brad I added a little mitten from A Cute Christmas that was stamped in Chocolate Chip on Crumb Cake.

A Mojo Christmas Card

This is my take on the MOJO#167 sketch here.
It starts with a Real Red card stock base and  I added different patterns from the Candy Cane Christmas Specialty DSP. I used the Circles#2 Big Shot die and the following circle punches for all the circles: 1 1/4 inch and 1 3/8 inch Large circle punches and the 1 3/4 inch XL large circle punch. The snowman stamp from Tags til Christmas was colored with Baha Breeze and Real Red Stampin write markers and punched out with the XL 1 3/4 in circle punch. The presents from A Cute Christmas were stamped in Real Red and colored with Baha Breeze, Blushing Bride, Garden Green and Real Red Stampin write markers. I punched a Baha Breeze and Real Red snowflake with the XL Snowflake punch and used the retired Small Star punch for a Whisper White star. Finally, a little piece of 1/8 inch Real Red taffeta finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: A Cute Christmas and Tags til Christmas
Papers: Whisper White, Baha Breeze, Blushing Bride, Garden Green, Real Red and Candy Cane Christmas DSP

MojoMonday Sketch#162 Snowman

This square card is my take on the MojoMonday sketch#162 here.
Baha Breeze is the card stock base and then I added some Candy Cane Christmas Specialty DSP. The panel of Real Red card stock was run thru the Big Shot with the Petals a Plenty textured impressions embossing folder. Using my White gel pen, I added the dots to the center of each flower. I stamped the snowman from Tags til Christmas in Baha Breeze on Whisper White and punched that out with the XL 1 3/4 inch Circle punch. I used the 2-way glue pen on the bottom of the snowman and added Dazzling Diamonds glitter.And I colored in his hat and scarf with the Real Red Stampin write marker.The Real Red circle was cut out with the Circles #2 Big Shot die. And I used the XL Scallop circle punch to punch out the Baha Breeze piece, adding some dots again with my White gel pen. Finally, three retired White eyelets finish off the sketch.

PPA65 Christmas Bling

Here's my card for PPA#65, Bring on the Bling.

I immediately thought of the Candy Cane Christmas Specialty DSP and the dotted piece with the red glitter.

My base is Baha Breeze and I added some of the Baha snowflake DSP from Candy Cane Christmas. I also added the glittery polka dot DSP. I used the Scallop border punch to scallop some Whisper White card stock and added that and a strip of Real Red to make the polka dots pop. I stamped the Santa stamp from Tags til Christmas in Real Red craft ink, added some Heat and Stick powder and then some Red glitter. I punched that out with the Large Tag punch and trimmed it down a little bit. I then punched a Baha Breeze piece with the Large Tag punch and a Real Red piece with the XL Tag punch. I added a Light Blue Circle Ice Brad and popped that all up with Stampin dimensionals. I stamped Merry Christmas from Season of Joy on Whisper White and punched it out with the 1 3/4 by 7/8 inch Oval punch.That was layered it onto a Real Red piece punched with the Scallop Oval punch and popped up with Stampin dimensionals.

Finally, a piece of 1/8 inch Real Red taffeta finishes it off.

Here's my recipe:
