12 Weeks of Christmas #8

Hello everyone!  It is Thursday, which means it is time for another 12 weeks of Christmas post.  The holidays are starting to feel a lot closer now.  We are officially into November, and I am doing my first holiday bazaar today.

Today, I am sharing a set of Christmas cards.  This is a set of five cards, that mostly feature products from the Merry Little Christmas suite, and are packaged in an Acetate Card Box.  I embossed the box with the Winter Wonder embossing folder, before wrapping it in ribbon.

Here is my project:

The fun acetate card boxes are the best way to give someone a set of cards.  Five cards, and envelopes fit inside the box.  Next, I show you a closer look at each of the cards inside.

 Card #1:

 Card #2

 Card #3:

 Card #4:

Card #5:

That is all I have to share for today.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Styllin' Stampin' Inkspiration - Friday Favorites!

Hey everyone!

Today over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration, it is time for Friday Favorites!  That means we have made it to Friday everyone!  Congrats!  Do you have plans this weekend?  I have a full weekend ahead of me.  It starts with a concert date with my hubby tonight.  Then a bazaar and a fundraiser tomorrow, and I'm teaching two card classes on Sunday.  

Today, the design team and I are sharing our favorite Christmas stamp set.  There are so many great, fun, and easy to use Christmas stamp sets available that it is hard to pick just one!  I chose Peace This Christmas that is shown on page 27 of the Annual Catalog.

Here is my card:

I made a card similar to this at an event hosted by a demo friend of mine a month or so ago.  I chose to step up her card, adding some layers, and changing the stamp set.  I love the fun layers on this card - and the beautiful Holly embossing folder in the background.  

Here is what is included in the stamp set.

That is all I have to share for today!  

Thanks for stopping by!

SSInk Sketch Challenge

Today, I'm playing along with the sketch challenge over at SSInk.

  

Here is the sketch:

It is not very often that this happens, but as soon as I saw this sketch - I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

Here is my card:

I was super excited to be able to use the Pinecones & Presents Designer Series Paper that is on sale this week.  I used the coordinating stamp set, and ribbon from the coordinating product suite shown on pages 18-20 in the Holiday Catalog

This sketch is an easy way come up with fast cards!  I've already made a couple other cards with the same sketch.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
