Merry and Bright Card

I can't believe it is already New Year's Eve...another year that flew by too fast. 2014 was a pretty good year for us. I am excited to see what 2015 will bring. 

 This next card was the first Christmas card I made for my workshop. I used the paper fundamentals paper along with the Merriest Christmas stamp set. 
Recipe:
Paper: Whimsy Paper Fundamentals, White Daisy CS, Cranberry CS (CTMH), Grey Chevron (Hobby Lobby)
Stamp: Merriest Christmas (CTMH)
Ink: Cranberry (CTMH)
Tools: Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors (CTMH)
Other: Red Shimmer Trim (CTMH), Red Brads (Hobby Lobby)

 This card is so cool in person. I love our new glacier blue color. May your new year be merry and bright!

Merry Merry Christmas Wreath Card

I found another sketch on Pinterest for this next card. 
Recipe:
Paper: Snowhaven, Whisper CS, White Daisy CS (CTMH)
Stamp: Merry, Merry (CTMH)
Inks: Lagoon, Cranberry (CTMH)
Tools: Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tips Scissors, Silver Glitz Glue (retired) (CTMH)
Other: Silver Sequins, Foam Tape (CTMH)

 Alas, this is another one-of-a-kind card. Pretty, but lots of fussy cutting. I do love wreath stamps, though.

Christmas Joy Card

I love a good sketch. I made this card back in November, so I can't recall which sketch I used, but I love how my card turned out.
Recipe:
Paper: White Daisy CS, Pacifica CS (CTMH)
Stamp: Merriest Christmas (CTMH)
Ink: Pacifica (CTMH)
Tools: Circle Die, Snowflake Die (MFT), Snow Dots Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug), Paper-Piercer (CTMH)
Other: Clear Sparkle (CTMH)

 I did not use this card in my Christmas Card 2014 workshop, either. Super simple, but a lot of extra work for me when trying to compile 25 sets per card. Still, it's beautiful and totally blog-worthy. :)

Sparkle and Shine Christmas Cards

Season's greetings to you. I hope you have all had a wonderful holiday. 

 Our Christmas began at 4:00 in the morning, when the children were caught peeking at presents under the tree. The dog gave them away. As Izzy put it, "Daddy scolded us and told us if we came out again before morning, he would take our presents away." 

 The big gift(s) of the year were brand new kindles for the kids and (even) me. The next photos were even taken with my kindle. I love this new gadget. My niece had to show me how to get into my settings but all is good (for now). LOL


Believe it or not, I didn't use either design for my 2014 Christmas card workshop. I was trying for quick designs, and it must have worked because my attendees finished 25 cards in under 2 hours. I will continue to share pictures with you in the coming days.

 Recipe:
Paper: Sparkle and Shine (retired), Cranberry CS, White Daisy CS (CTMH)
Ink: Cranberry (CTMH)
Stamp: Merriest Christmas (CTMH)
Tools: Cricut Art Philosophy, Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors (CTMH)
Other: Green Brads (Hobby Lobby)

 Happy Holidays!
