I can’t forget to add some of my pearlized enamel effects in Real Red from Stampin’ Up.

25 Days of Christmas Cards - Day 17

Welcome to Day 17 of the 25 Days of Christmas Cards. Today’s card is a bit of a style departure for me. I’m using stamps, ink, markers, an embossing folder and snowflake embellishments. Plus I decided to throw a Memories & More kit from Stampin’ Up in the mix. I typically keep things kind of simple but this has so many layers. Blue is my favorite color so I’m tickled I could use so many shades of it and I’m in love with the snowflake embellishments from Taylored Expressions.

So many fun layers.

Supplies

Stamps: Tim Holtz Stamptember 2023 (Simon Says Stamps)

Ink: Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight & Basic White (Stampin’Up)

Markers: Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends (Stampin’Up)

Paper: Basic White, Misti Moonlight, Beary Christmas Memories & More (Stampin’Up)

25 Days of Christmas Cards - Day 12

Welcome to the Day 12 of the 25 Days of Christmas. Today’s card uses some miscellaneous plaid paper. I find a good plaid is always a good base paper for a holiday or seasonal card and when it comes from a 12x12 paper pad each sheet gives me a foundation for 6 cards! I created the pine tree using a Stampin’ Up stamp set with my Garden Green ink pad. I popped it onto a vellum background so it wouldn’t be as stark as if I would have placed it directly onto the black oval. I used my Waffle Flower Nesting Oval Dies for the foundation of the tree and the Satin Pearl Pops of Color to mimic snow. I added a fun Tim Holtz sentiment from the Scribbly Christmas set below the oval in a coordinating Garden Green ink. Simple but a little whimsical at the same time.

Supplies

Stamps: Scribbly Christmas (Tim Holtz), Winter Woods (Stampin’ Up)

Ink: Garden Green (Stampin’ Up)

Paper: Vanilla, Black, Vellum (Stampin’ Up), Plaid (Misc)

Dies: Ovals (Waffle Flower)

Embellishments: Pops of Color - Satin Pearl (Scrapbook.com)
