More Cards!

Here are some more quick and easy cards for your inspiration.  They are big on style, even though they start with just a simple note card.  I tried to give you a peek at the coordinating envelopes, too.  Enjoy!  

Cherry Cobbler / Be of Good Cheer DSP /  Holiday Ornament Framelits / Traditional Touches Stamp (envelope) / cherry cobbler seam binding

Midnight Muse / Merry Minis Punch Pack / Silver Glimmer Paper / Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder / Greetings of the Season

Gumball Green / Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder / Delicate Designs Embossing Folder (envelope flap) / Holiday Ornament Framelits / Be of Good Cheer DSP / silver glimmer paper (star)

Night of Navy / Four Seasons Stamp Set / Northern Flurry Embossing Folder

Midnight Muse / Stitched Ribbon / Jolly Bingo Bits / Postage Punch / Square Punch / Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder

As you can see, I used the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder a lot on these creations.  I felt like it gave the feeling of falling snow.  I hope these cards give you some ideas to try.  As you can see, the note cards are limited only by your imagination.

Have a beautiful day!

The Spirit of Christmas Past

It's nice sometimes to take a moment to reflect on past Christmas memories.  That goes for Christmas projects, too.  One of my favorite Christmas projects ever was making my gingerbread house.  These houses are still available, on our clearance rack, so you can order one if this post inspires you to try it.

This project was a labor of love --- very time consuming and very labor intensive.  All the pieces are hand cut.  I wouldn't want to make a bunch of them, but I did love, love, love making this one.

Your last step would be to get a couple of tea lights to place inside.  It looks fabulous when the lights are on and I love that it's safe because they're using batteries and not actual flame.

Here's what the kits look like before decorating:
