Bright and Beautiful Season, A Christmas Card

Christmas is getting so close! I'm on my finishing for my gifts and cards. Hope to have it all gone soon. Meanwhile I still need a few more Christmas cards.  One with the Merry Monday challenge.

So, here is this weeks inspiration piece. And the Challenge is to put candy canes on your card.
That took some thought and in the end I did something simple, but I believe, beautiful.

I used a piece of Candy Cane Lane DSP over top of Real Red with Real Red twine wrapped around.  The sentiment is from last years Embellished Ornament set, still in the Annual catalog though. It's one of my favorites, and 3 rhinestones for bling.

I put my sentiment down first, usually I do that last, but I wanted to see how much room I had before I cut my DSP and card stock.  My red bottom layer is 1 3/4" and my DSP is 1 1/2".

New Christmas card

It's been a really busy week, but we have a very nice Thanksgiving. We don't usually see our kids for Thanksgiving, but we have friends here who have a big family/friend gathering that lasts a few days, so I've been there, and in the mornings, I've been making my dish to take over.

I just could not help myself! I was not going to buy anymore Christmas, but the sale was just too hard to pass up. I got one punch and one die set on sale, and also got the stamp sets to go with, ending up with a savings over the bundle price. 

This was one of them.  Hang Your Stockings stamps was not on sale, but the dies, Christmas Stocking Thinlits, were on sale. Combined price was a few dollars less then the bundle price.

Here is the list.  It ends on the 28th.

This was such a fun and easy card to make. The DSP is Candy Cane Lane, which has some of the most fun papers I've ever seen.   Colors are Real Red, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, with Silver satin ribbon and Cucumber green.
As usual, if you would like to purchase or just go to my store to see the list of products larger, just click on any image below. I've included the bundle price just in case you are seeing this after the sale is over.

Tis the Season, GDP challenge #060, case the designer

Haven't you always wanted to put a santa hat on a Christmas tree?  I just knew I had to do it. Might as well have some fun with those Christmas cards.

This week at Global Design Project we are casing the designer who just so happens to be a PAL of mine, Brian King.  It's always fun to case Brian, he does such neat cards.

I just can't believe I waited as long as I did to get this Jolly Friends set, it's a bundle so there is a  matching punch.   The tree is from Peaceful Pines stamps and Perfect Pines bundle, and is in the annual catalog as a continuing set this year.

Colors are, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Real Red and Garden Green.   The DSP is from Candy Cane Lane and if you can't see it well, those are little trees on it as well as white dots.
