O COME LET US ADORE HIM

This is my Christmas card for family and friends this year.  I used the stamp set Come to Bethlehem.  This is an original card I came up with.  I love the brushed gold on soft suede card stock.  This is one of the best Religious Christmas stamp sets that SU! has produced over the years.  I recently sent this card to my brothers and sisters, other close family and friends.  The stamped envelope coordinates very well. Do you like the rhinestone in the center of the star?  It reminds me of the star on top of my Christmas tree.

HOLIDAY FUN WORKSHOP - CARD 4

I love these colors and I love this stamp set.  It is Come to Bethlehem using Baja Breeze and Not Quite Navy colors of ink, card stock, and palette of designer paper.  I CASED this card almost exactly from Chat W.  I have her bookmarked on my iphone because I love her work.  This is one of my favorite cards for the holidays with one of my favorite new stamp sets.  Everyone at the Holiday Workshop loved the card also. The Merry Christmas in script in the scalloped oval is also from the stamp set.  This was card no. 4 that we made.  Do you like my sponged moon?

This is the inside of the card. We stamped the sentiment on a scalloped circle so that it could easily be read by the recipient.  I would use the white gel pen to sign the card.  The envelope keeps with my theme of using serene snowflakes and the sentiment on the outside is from many merry messages.

COME TO BETHLEHEM

Have you started your Christmas cards yet?  If you have not, this is a great time to start getting ideas and collecting the supplies you will need.  There are so many great ideas from SU!  This is a wonderful new stamp set in the main Idea Book called Come to Bethlehem.  I will probably use this set for my cards this year.  I love the three kings and the little town of Bethlehem.  I decided to red, white, blue and gold for the color scheme here.  I really like this stamp and I know it will make many great Christmas cards.  Do you see the background Not Quite Navy card stock is embossed with the poinsettia embossing folder for the Big Shot?

RemARKable Holiday Madness Blog Tour - Post 5

Today is Day 5 of the Tour!  Today I have a fun card for you!  I really loved doing this card.  I basically took the leftover kits from my Christmas card class and just changed it up a bit.  I like being able to do this because it gives more options.  If you see my previous post with similar design, you'll see how I changed this one. The stamp set I used is so adorable. It is called Holiday Hoopla.  The Santa is just adorable.  I also used the dsp in the main idea book called Jolly Holiday.  The sentiment Merry Christmas comes from the set Come to Bethlehem.  What do you think?

The card stock colors for this card are old olive, whisper white and my new fave card stock color Cherry Cobbler. It is just such a rich color. The old olive card stock was embossed with the texturz plate.

Here is the Jolly Holiday dsp sampler and below that is the stamp set Holiday Hoopla.
