25 Days of Christmas Cards - Day 15

Welcome to Day 15 of the 25 Days of Christmas Cards. Today’s card uses the old red pick up truck image with the pine tree in the in the back for the center image. The background paper is from my stash. I think it is from a pack from Hobby Lobby (I think its The Paper Studio brand). It’s a red car but was close enough to let me use my Trucking Along stamp set from Stampin’ Up. And I couldn’t let an opportunity to use my Black Gloss Pops of Color go by with the black polka dots in the background paper.

Red, black, white and green make for a great color combination.

25 Days of Christmas Cards - Day 14

Welcome to Day 14 of the 25 Days of Christmas Cards! Todays card uses more “retired” paper and embellishments from the Close to My Heart Christmas Story collection. Here I use some strips to add interest and a foundation for the die cut sentiment Happy Holidays. I decided to cap off each corner with some Black Gloss Pops of Color. I must admit to being a bit addicted to the liquid drops to add dimension. I use the Pops of Color from Scrapbook.com the most because of the color collection I have amassed. I also like the Nuco Drops and the Metallic Enamel Effects by Stampin’ Up. I whole-heartedly endorse them all!

Notice there’s just a little dimension. Enough to make things interesting but not enough to impact postage…remember all these cards are going to get mailed…no holding cards people!

Supplies

Paper: Christmas Story (CTMH), Basic White and Black (Stampin’ Up)

Embellishments: Black Gloss Pops of Color (Scrapbook.com)

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. Snowflakes are some of my favorite winter shapes to use on my cards. You will see more designs using this kit later this this month.

Supplies

Paper: Crafter’s Companion (Sparkling Winter Kit)

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