Snow Swirled

The Snow Swirled Stamp Set creates an elegant holiday card in a flash! Don't you just love it when you can crete a WOW card that takes very little time? I do! 

The Mocha Morning Specialty Designer Series Paper was the inspiration for this card. When I first created this card I stamped the tree image in gold ink and the snowflakes using Whisper White Craft ink, both images included in the Snow Swirled Stamp Set. I added 2 Gold brads in the lower left corner and 1 Basic Rhinestone at the top of the tree. It took me only a few minutes to create this version and I could see myself making all 100 of my holiday cards with this version.

I wanted to take it up a notch so I embossed the tree using Gold embossing powder. This little change would only add a few seconds to your cards.

Dec clubThis final version only took me a few more seconds but oh what a result! I replaced the 2 gold mini brads with 2 Basic Pearls, added 5 small rhinestones to the center of the snowflakes in the tree. Using one of our new products, Dazzling Diamonds, I added sparkle to the white snowflakes. I could have added a few small Basic Rhinestones to these snowflakes but I didn't want to distract from the bling of the tree. I just love the result of this tree! I think this will be my holiday card for this year. I could get all 100 cards out of 1 package of the Mocha Morning Specialty DSP by switching out the pattern.

Festive & Fun stamp set

The weather has started to change so I decided to do a few cards with our Festive & Fun stamp set that is available through our upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog beginning Sept 1. You know, the holidays will be upon us before we know, why not start doing a few projects each week to make it a bit less stressful? This is what brought me to doing a Christmas card first with this set.  I will also be making a few gift tags &  gift card holders using this stamp as it is "just the right size!"

This reminds me, I will be starting up my 12 Weeks of Christmas Newsletter very soon so if you're not on my newsletter list just leave me a comment , include your email address, and I will add you. This year I have some great, quick, exclusive projects to share.
