Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!  Today, over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration we are sharing some fun Winter Wonderland ideas.  For my cards, I have chosen to show two of my Christmas card designs from this year.  These cards are quick and easy to throw together, but still look very nice.

Here are my cards:

I hope your day is filled with lots of love and joy as we celebrate the birth of Jesus.  Be sure to head over to the SSInk blog to see what the other design team members are sharing.

3x3 Cards

Hello there, everyone!  Today the Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration design team is sharing some ideas of 3x3 cards.  I needed one at the last minute to add to a gift.  I love how quick and easy it is to make a 3x3 card, and they are the perfect size for a short note.

Here is my card:

I cut a piece of Garden Green cardstock to 3" x 6", and folded it in half to make my card base.  I added a 2 3/4" square of Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper for a mat.  I stamped my greeting from the Labels to Love stamp set in Garden Green, onto Whisper White cardstock, and then punched it out with the Everyday Label Punch.  I added a couple pieces from the Foil Snowflakes to add a little glitz.  The label, with the snowflakes is popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals. I added a piece of the same designer series paper to the envelope flap just to tie them together.

ICS Blog Hop - Merry Little Christmas

Welcome to the December Inspire, Create, and Share blog hop.  This month we are all featuring fun gift-able items.  I choose to share the gifts I made for my team Christmas party last weekend.  My gifts featured the Merry Little Christmas designer series paper, almost exclusively.

Here is a picture of them all lined up on my mantle:

Here is close up of one by itself:

I decorated gift bags, and added personalized tags.

I love the plaid in the Merry Little Christmas designer series paper.  I found coordinating list pads at a big box craft store, and used the DSP, and coordinating colored cardstock to make a personalized cover for the pads.

I also found these great eyeglass cases at the same store.  I filled them with german chocolates, and made a tag for it as well.

I had so much fun putting these gifts together for my team.  I hope you enjoyed seeing my projects.  Next up on the hop is my good friend, Darla.  I know she has something great to share - she is so talented!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
