25 Days of Christmas Cards - Day 9

Welcome to Day 9 of the 25 Days of Christmas Cards! Today’s card uses some paper from the Peppermint Paper Pad from Scrapbook.com and some basic paper that coordinates from Stampin’ Up. I added some fun silver drops from Stampin’ Up and this cards was done. A very simple use of some layered rectangles with a sentiment and some drops of silver make this an easy card with dimension but will not add extra postage when it is mailed.

Stamps: Misc (Crafter’s Companion)

Ink: Mint Macaron (Stampin’ Up)

Paper: Peppermint (Scrapbook.com), Basic White & Mint Macaron (Stampin’ Up)

Embellishments: Metallic Enamel Effects Basics Silver (Stampin’ Up)

25 Days of Christmas Cards - Day 8

Welcome to Day 8 of the 25 days of Christmas Cards. Today’s card is a celebration of snowflakes. This card uses supplies from Crafter’s Companion Sparkling Winter kit. I get to use some pearlescent cardstock and some precut edgeable snowflakes. I add a little “Pop of Color” with some white satin pearl from Scrapbook.com.

25 Days of Christmas Cards - Day 5

Welcome to Day 5 of the 25 days of Christmas Cards. Today’s card is sparkly but also clean and simple. I used some glitter paper I had from Crafter’s Companion and paired it with some miscellaneous gold striped paper to form a bright and cheery base.

To finish it off I created some dimension using Stampin’s Up’s Metallic Enamel Effects Basics in gold. I hope you enjoy it!

25 Days of Christmas Cards - Day 4

Welcome back to Day 4 of the 25 days of Christmas. In today’s card I use supplies from an older card kit from Close to My Heart called Christmas Story.

It give the card some pizzazz without thick dimension making it easier to mail. I hope you enjoy it.
