Monday Inspiration!

Happy Monday!  I have a few more Chirstmas cards I want to share this morning.  We did these over the weekend.

Last year, one of my favorite stamp sets was from the Holiday mini called Winter Post.  Every one of the images was perfect.  Most of all I loved that snowflake.  I love the modern feel this card throws off with that beautiful Holiday Lounge DSP.  The DSP has Taken w/ Teal, and Sahara Sand in it so I used Sahara Sand as the cardstock base.  I used Bermuda Bay to stamp the snowflakes.  It was actually on accident because I wasn’t paying attention and thought the color in the DSP was Bermuda Bay.  I love accidents with stamping.  Sometimes the outcome comes out better.  🙂 The sentiment comes from Teeny Tiny Wishes! 

Here is the last card we did!

This is another set from last year that I adored. A Cardinal Christmas!  In fact, I have a framed card that Shelli Gardner did last year with this set and I keep it up all year.   It was a beautiful card that we received in a swap at Founders last year.  This set is beautiful on tiles.  It would make great decorative tiles or coasters.  I used the Finial Press embossing folder for the background and the new Holiday Best for the sentiment.  It actually has a cardinal on the flourish but he got chopped because he was to chubby.   If you notice the big scallop square in the background, that comes from the Clear Scallop Square Die Cut.  I trimmed off a smidge from one side and attached to the card.  Then lastly I used that oh so yummy Chocolate Chip/Vanilla Striped Ribbon that is to die for.  I used so much of it last year in the Riding Hood Red.  I am SUPER excited to see these colors in this ribbon.  Especially the black.   I will have a ball with that and Halloween!  I must admit that making these cards is gearing me up for the Holidays.  How about  you? 

I hope your weekend is fabulous.  I am off to shop for convention.  I need new duds as I will be on the stage chit chatting.    They said Bikini’s were out.  

Have a fabulous day!

  1. Oh Kimberyly, more beautiful cards! I don’t have either of those sets but love the lay outs. Patty Bennett (she is my upline, how great is that) said she would introduce us at convention. Just another week, Yipee!

  2. Kimberly, these are gorgeous as were the previous ones. I never thought to go monochromatic with A Cardinal Christmas, but it is absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing…Mary

  3. Loved the Christmas cards in both posts. They are just beautiful, yet simple enough to produce in quantity. I hope you have a wonderful time at convention! My first and only convention was last year and it was a great experience!

  4. Very pretty card. I love the Cardinal Stamp Set. I am planning to use it for Christmas this year. Great job

  5. Thanks for sharing more of your wonderful ideas with us! As for the holiday ideas, I say “Keep ’em coming!” Can’t wait to see you on stage at Convention!

  6. Love, love, love that Winter Post snowflake card, especially your color choice. Would it be okay with you if I CASE’d it for a workshop?

  7. Kimberly, I am so loving the cards! Especially the snowflake one…that layout is to die for!

    Thanks for sharing:)
