Christmas cards round 2

Well I got todays four cards done...


Again I used my festive favorites set from SU. Let me tell you a secret about this set... it was originally a 6 piece set but mine is now a 8 piece set... SU wants you to place the deer, the trees and the snowmen all on one block. I decided to follow what a few other demos have done and when I got my hands on my hands on the level 1 hostess set So Many Sayings use the blocks from that set and separate the three images and then I also went to good old wallyworld and bought the $3.88 jenga set and mounted all those sentiments on it. I love having them separate. As you can see from my last few posts.

Well back to my card now. I used the festive favorites set along with my basic grey figgy pudding 6x6 pad( I have got to get more of it). I got my figgy pudding from All That Scraps. Well I had a blast making these cards while putting my own Christmas tree up here will have to get a picture in the next day or so and share my Tree with you all. The sentiment is a poem I got from Two peas in a bucket. My goal this year is to have sentiments in all my Christmas cards printed... wish me luck on this... well I'm off I have my nephews tonight and have to get everyone settled in for the night. Have a great evening and see you again tomorrow with four more cards of Christmas.....

Working on Christmas cards now....

I'm so far behind with my Christmas cards that I'm going to be cracking them out in the next two weeks and will be posting the designs as I get them done here.... Here is card 1....



I had to play with my cuttlebug folder Snowflakes along with my festive favorites set. The snowmen were just calling out for it. I really wish I could play with my Christmas present while making these but my husband was nice enough to buy me a cuttlebug and then tell me I have to wait til Christmas to play with it. Oh well I still have my sizzix, it's going to mom soon after Christmas.


Here are some closer views of both the inside of the card and the outside....
I had fun making these cards and may crank out more than the four I did tonight. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and of course have been hitting all those sales hot and heavy now. I did a little shopping today but still have more to get done... tomorrow we will be getting our Christmas decorations out of the closet and putting them out. I am so glad that my husband will be home for Christmas this year. I think the kids will have better Christmas having Daddy home.

Well I'm off to go see what else I can get done tonight before heading off to bed... have a great evening and hope to be back tomorrow with another Christmas card design...

Supplies:
Stamps: Festive Favorites
Ink: stazon black, soft sky, wild wasabi
Cardstock: soft sky, blue bayou, whisper white

Double the fun...

Yes I said double the fun... I made this double pocket card today for the first time and used the color challenge over on SCS for my color choices. You can find the color challenge here CC139.



Now you might wonder what would be the reason for having a second pocket on this card but how many of you give gift cards to someone special during the holidays...



That second pocket is just right for one... hope you get a chance to try and make one yourself. Well I'm off for the night and I'm not sure if I will get the chance to post tomorrow but I hope so have a great evening and stamp something pretty when you get the chance...
