Time for Christmas Cards!

Tonight was the start of my Christmas Card Crank.   Where we cranked 16 Christmas cards out and had fun while doing it.  All of them ended up being my favorites.  🙂  I took a card that Kristina Werner did long ago and used current Stampin’ Up! stamps and a little bling bling to fluff it up some.  This uses the stamp set Holiday Trinkets.  This card only had one challenge… getting the linen thread perfectly placed.

This next card doesn’t even use ADHESIVE!!  GET OUT!  Of course I had to incorporate the Big Shot and Lovely as a Tree stamp set with this.   Loved how this stamp fit perfectly in the Top Note Die Cut.  I added a little more bling as well with Dazzling Diamonds.  The sentiment came from the stamp set Heard from the Heart.  Again, no adhesive because the ribbon is holding that Top Note!  So cool and really would save  you money on making so many of these for Christmas!!!

This next card was a layout I stole right out of my Stampin’ Success Magazine I get monthly from Stampin’ Up!  I love this magazine and all the GREAT ideas I get from it.  I changed up some of the stamp sets and also added the Scallop Circle Die Cut using my Big Shot.  I loved how this added to the focus of the center of the card.  The stamp set I used was Deer Friends.  Love this HOSTESS set.  "Merry Christmas" came from the stamp set All Holidays.  Another fabulous stamp set.

Lastly, and probably one of my favorites because it was simple but had a little WOW factor.  I used the designer paper Holiday Treasures and the stamp set Punches Three.  This is also a HOSTESS set that I love!!

So there you have it, four cards to get you started this Holiday season. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a FABULOUS day!!!
