It's Christmas card making mode now!

 Hello and welcome crafty friends!

Look at that, it's already almost halfway through

November, and I'm way behind making

my Christmas cards. My crafty mojo has

been MIA for the last 4 months or so,

and it finally reappeared at the end of October.

I did finally start on cards last month, and will

be posting about them soon. In the

meantime, here's a little something

that I came up with:

I'm finally playing with the Christmas Poinsettias card kit from

My Favorite Things, that I purchased in September. A lot

of die cutting, a snowflake embossing folder, a snippet of

paper, and some gold Stickles. Plus, the sentiment was

first stamped in black ink, then I heat embossed it with

clear embossing powder before die cutting it. 

I used another stamp from the same set to finish the inside:

I'm glad that I saved the cardstock that came with the kit, and

used what I already had on hand, because, you know, I 

really want to make those cards! LOL!

That's it for now. I appreciate that you stopped by for a visit!

Have a great day!

The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers are guest elves at Christmas Kickstart Challenge #80!

 Hello and welcome!

This month at the

Christmas Kickstart Challenge

the guest elves are Edna and the sisters at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

For this month's challenge,

the idea is to use NON-TRADITIONAL products and/or

color combinations to make a Christmas card.

Of course, pairing those non-traditional items with, say,

a Santa hat and holiday sentiment will be essential.

Here's what I came up with:

I used an Autmn themed stamp set, and combined it with a couple

Christmas sentiments to create my card.

I searched my stash of papers and found this paper to fussy cut

that teeny tiny wreath to hang on the door!

I may have gone cross eyed the rest of the day. LOL!

Here's the inside:

I hope that you'll join our sister Jo, and the rest of the Sisterhood

and play along this month at Christmas Kickstart #80!

We look forward to seeing what you create!

Thanks for visiting! Have a great day!
