Hello friends and thank you for stopping by for Day 10 of my 25 Days of Holiday cards. 

Today's card features the Shaker Shapes Snow globe die from Papertrey Ink.

For the background I stamped some snowflakes with a tonal ink that matched the cardstock and finished the look with Silver Stickles.

Thank you for stopping by for another card for my 25 Days of Holiday Cards! I really appreciate you stopping by to take a peek at all of my cards so far. 

Today I framed a card base with some fun glitter tape from Darice.

25 Days of Holiday Cards: Day 8

Hello friends! 

Thanks for joining me for another card for my 25 Days of Holiday Cards!

Today's card uses an embossing folder paired with Anna Griffin's metallic paper. 

The result is so beautiful and clean!

I used the Paper Snowflakes embossing folder, foil cardstock, Perfect Palette collection and 3D sticker by Anna Griffin. I also used my Martha Stewart Nordic Snowflake punch to layer behind the Sentiment. 

My Christmas colors this season are red, silver and kraft. I'll come up with a fun card using all those colors later in the month.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a creative day.

25 Days of Holiday Cards: Day 7

Hello friends! Thanks for stopping by for another day of my 25 Days of Holiday cards. I hope you are enjoying the cards so far.

 For today's card I used paper and embellishments from Anna Griffin. I love using these banner sentiments for cards. They made it easy to create this card fairly quickly.

I love using organza ribbon on cards because it makes beautiful, elegant looking bows. 

How are you doing on your holiday cards? I have yet to get mine out but they are coming along.

Thanks for stopping by for today's card! 

Have a creative day!

25 Days of Holiday Cards: Day 6

Hello friends! I love weekends, don't you? Yes we have alot of activity's this weekend but I still love that everyone is home and we get to spend some down time together. 

We got our Christmas tree yesterday afternoon and it's HUGE! For us apartment dwellers that is. It's 8 feet tall. Only problem was...we couldn't find the tree lights since we haven't had a real tree in awhile. 

So off we went to Walmart in Torrance to purchase some...that was an adventure so memorable we'll never return to that particular Walmart again. Yikes.

I picked out some LED lights, got them home and on the tree...Yep. I don't like them. So today the hunt begins in the storage locker to dig up the tree lights.

Here's the tree as it sits right now, un-decorated for now.

Now onto Day 6's card

This card was created using Anna Griffin's Christmas Baubles embossing folder. I embossed two sheets of Anna's colored cardstock and then fussy cut and heat embossed one of the sheets. Then I cut out the ornaments and paced them over the matching ones on the solid cardstock. I popped them with 3D foam squares.

Thanks for stopping by for today's card!

Have a creative day.

25 Days of holiday Cards: Day 5

Hello friends! 

Thanks for joining me for another card for my 25 Days of Holiday Cards. I hope you have enjoyed each card I have posted so far. I've already begun to receive Christmas cards in the mail. I love displaying them in my home.

Today's card was created with Anna Griffin's Christmas Kitsch cartridge.

I used a variety of Anna Griffin Perfect Palette cardstock and Christmas Kitsch patterned paper. The layers were easy to put together and I used some 3D foam to make the center pop.

Thanks for stopping by for today's card.

Have a creative day.

25 Days of Holiday Cards: Day 4

Hello friends. 

Thanks for stopping by for Day 4 of my 25 Days of Holiday cards. Since purple is my favorite color I found a way to incorporate it into a holiday card.

This card was inspired by this one I found Pinned on Pinterest. I used the Lil Inker Starry Sky die and a sentiment from Paper Smooches.

Silver and purple is a fun combination.

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a creative day!

25 Days of Holiday Cards: Day 3

Hello friends. Welcome back for Day 3 of my 25 Days of Holiday Cards! If you are stopping by for the first time scroll down for the first 2 cards and some info about this year's posts.

Today's card is great for mass producing. 

I used the Pierced Snowflake from My Favorite Things and the Sentiment is Paper Smooches. I stamped my sentiment in Silver ink from Colorbox and added bling to the center of my snowflake. What did I use for the die cut? Silver origami paper. It cuts like butter in any die and I found 30 6x6 sheets for only $1.50.

How many holiday cards have you made so far? I am working on mine still.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a creative day

25 Days of Holiday Cards: Day 2

Hello friends! 

It's Day 2 of my 25 Days of Holiday Cards and I am thrilled that you have stopped by!

Today's card features a few die cut stickers from Anna Griffin's Winter Wonderland collection and one of my favorite elements to add to cards for a shabby chic feel, doilies! I think I have several dozen of them in my stash!

Die cuts make quick card making a snap. I adhere them with foam adhesive to make them POP. 

Did you know the 99 cent store has Front Porch Treasures foam mounting tape. At 10 feet on a roll it's a steal!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a creative day!
