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
Inks: Real Red classic pad, Baha Breeze, Blushing Bride, Garden Green and Real Red Stampin write markers

Cute Candy Cane Christmas

This card is for Stamping 411 #179 here. It used Candy Cane Christmas Specialty DSP and the matching A Cute Christmas stamp set.
Real Red is the base with some of the striped paper from Candy Cane Christmas. There's more paper in the three rectangular panels and on the panel with the ribbon. I ran the Real Red thru the Scallop Edge border punch and added dots with the White gel pen. The only stamping is the sentiment from A Cute Christmas, inked up in Real Red and stamped on Whisper White. That was then punched out with the 1 3/8 in by 5/8 in Large Oval punch and layered on to a Real Red piece punched with the 1 3/4 in by 7/8 in Large Oval punch. I popped that up with Stampin dimensionals.
Finally, a piece of 1/2 inch Blushing Bride stitched-poly finishes it off.
