Season Like Christmas

Happy Friday! I pray you all had an amazing Thanksgiving yesterday, I know I did in spite of the fact hubby wasn't able to join us for dinner as he had to work. I'm just grateful he gets Christmas off this year! But, as much as I missed him, I still had a wonderful day spending it with my mom and dad, my brother and my aunt. And dinner was delicious! And so much to be grateful for as I am truly blessed.
Anyway, today I have a simple card to share with you that I made using the Season Like Christmas stamp set from the Holiday catalog. I had been eyeing this stamp set since I first got my hands on the catalog, and I finally got it in my last order and today I pulled it out to play with and this is what I came up with:

I started with your standard card base of 8.5" x 5.5" in Garden Green. I cut a piece of the Be Merry DSP 2" x 5" and adhered that down with Fast Fuse. I then cut a piece of Whisper White 2.5" x 3.5" and stamped my tree components starting with Pear Pizzazz for the first layer, next, I stamped the tree trunk with Chocolate Chip ink. Then the second layer for the tree, I stamped in Garden Green ink. I then stamped the sentiment using Cherry Cobbler ink. As a final touch, I added a bit of Wink of Stella along the tree boughs.

I adhered this panel down onto the card base with Fast Fuse. I kept this card nice and flat so it's perfect for mailing. The Wink of Stella gives it some shimmer and shine but without any bulk so your mail person will surely appreciate that!

I also wanted to acknowledge Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday, so I have a special from now until Monday, if you place an order of $50 or more before shipping and tax, I will send you a free set of Faceted Gems (gems will be mailed out on 12/11) as a special thank you along with another special surprise :)

Glitzy Christmas Sweaters

Hello and Happy Wednesday! It's a rainy one here in Central NY but I guess that beats snow here in this country where we often measure the snow in feet by the time Thanksgiving rolls around.
I know I'm a little out of synch this week with my posts, but with the holiday being tomorrow I thought I would post my Saturday post on Sunday, my Tuesday post today and my normal Thursday post will be Friday. Then Sunday will be a fun blog hop with some amazing crafters that I can't wait to share with you all.
Today's card share uses the Christmas Sweaters stamp set from Stampin' Up! found in the Holiday Catalog

To And of course I had to use the brand new Stampin' Blends Pens to color it in and the white "fur" and whiskers just begged for some glitz and glimmer, so I pulled out my Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

To create this card, I used a standard card base of Cherry Cobbler, 8.5" x 5.5" scored and folded at 4.25". I layered a piece of the Be Merry DSP cut 2.5"x 5.25" onto it. I stamped the santa sweater in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Whisper White cut 3.25" x 3.5". Of course I pulled out my awesome Stampin' Blends, the Cherry Cobbler duo to color in the ribbing and the hat. And then all of the "fur" and whiskers were calling for glitz and glimmer so I pulled out my Dazzling Diamonds glitter. I layered it onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock cut 3.5" x 3.75" and added it to the card base with Dimensionals.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of Whisper White with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut the sentiment into pieces and trimmed them down and attached to to the card using mini Dimensionals.

That's it for today. I hope you enjoyed today's card. I would like to wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving. I would also like to take a minute to let you know how much I truly appreciate each and everyone of you. God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving!
