Snowman Season on Paint Strip

Surprise, it's an extra post.  I have a number of

Christmas cards waiting in the wings so plan to get

them all posted before the big day.

A friend of mine works at Lowes and I have a request 

in for paint strips.  I decided to go kind of monochromatic

and stamped the snowman from Snowman Season

(Holiday page 20) in Stazon.   I layered the paint strip

on some Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder

(Holiday page 31).

Detailed Skate Dies

It is so hard to believe that it is Friday again!

I think that our stormy weather this week has thrown

my internal calendar off.  Or maybe it is the very real

approach of Christmas next week!

I have to say that I think that the Detailed Skate Dies

(Holiday page 44) is one of the best products in the

Holiday catalog.  Sadly, it is not carrying over next year.

I love all the details on that skate, and the delightful bow.

The other feature is that delicious Wrapped in Plaid

Specialty Designer Series Paper.  It is "Specialty" paper,

because of the highlights of gold foil that run through it.

This makes it easy to coordinated a gold foil die

with the DSP.

You Always Deliver Merry Moose

This card is You Always Deliver (page 59), meets

Merry Moose (Holiday page 27), with a layer of Gold Foil

run through the Hammer Metal 3D Embossing Folder

(Holiday page 31).  I bent the packages a little, so

they fit in the postman's hand.  Stampin' Blends colors

were selected from the Wrapped in Plaid Specialty

Designer Series Paper (Holiday page 14).  I used the

Stitched Shapes and Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut

out card elements.

Moose Punch with Mercury Glass

Welcome to another Moose Punch Monday.  Today is another 

non-traditional Christmas card, this time Rococo Rose

and Night of Navy.  I added panels of Mercury Glass

Designer Acetate (Holiday p 33) and Silver Foil.
I wanted to try the Mercury Glass/foil combination,
so needed that idea "out of my head." 

Pine Tree Punch with Rose Glimmer

Hey Friends.  Susan, Buffy and I are here for another

installment of the Stamp Off Challenge.

This week, we are creating Christmas cards that

use nontraditional colors.

I made two cards for this challenge, so will

post the second card on Monday.

For this card, I used the Pine Tree Punch (Holiday page 13),

with some Rose Glimmer Paper (page 169).  This Glimmer
paper goes perfectly with the Rococo Rose In Color.

The Neutrals Designer Series Paper layers (page 168)

were run through the Subtles Embossing Folder.

The sentiment comes from Merry Moose, which

will be returning next year (yeah!!).

The Stitched Rectangles Dies were used to cut

out the various layers.  

I appreciate you stopping by, and hope that you will
click on over to see Buffy and Susan's card.

Mercury Glass Acetate with Pine Tree Punch

I thought that today was a perfect day for a sweet little

Pine Tree (Holiday p 13), paired with more Mercury Glass

Designer Acetate (Holiday p 33).  The silver on white

makes for a very wintery look.  Our weather is taking a 

sudden deep dive, so this reflects that temperature drop.

I used the sentiment from Merry Moose.  

The snowflakes were created with

the Christmas Layers Dies (Holiday p 16).
