Another Christmas card

I am working on my Christmas cards so I won't have to rush at the last minute.

I made this card using last week's Tuesday Morning Sketch #422, but didn't get it done to post in time so I am sharing it today.

  I love the sketch and will probably use it again.  I like the way my card turned out.  I just got this DSP at JoAnn's, it is Holly on Green by Paper Pizzazz.  The flowers are Small Blooming Poinsettia by Poppystamps, cut from MFT Electric Red CS.  I layered the flowers, added a yellow rhinestone to the centers and adhered them with foam tape.  The strips are SU Always Artichoke and Electric Red.  The sentiment is from Verve Weary World stamp set.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

JoAnn

Christmas Blessings

Hello Friends, today I am sharing a Christmas card I made using a cut on my Silhouette.  It has both the outline and the shadow elements.  I added a rhinestone to the center of the star.

The sentiment is from Verve's Weary World.  Love this new set, especially the mixed fonts in this greeting.  The DSP is a freebie from Verve included in my order.  The banner is cut with a die from MFT Blueprints 13 and the scalloped mat is cut with an MFT Blueprints 20 die.  I love how this card turned out and have made several of them since this first one.

ETA:  I am linking this up at Merry Monday Christmas Challenge as it is my favorite card I made this year.  I love that it shows the true meaning of Christmas.

I am linking my card up at Tuesday Morning Sketches as it is their "Annual Anything Goes" challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day and I wish everyone a very Merry and Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year, in case I am not on here anymore this week.

Happy Stamping,

This is a special project I made to display on my mantle for Christmas and to represent the true meaning of Christmas.  These are paper mache letters from Hobby Lobby.  I painted them ivory color, chose different DSP, My Mind's Eye - green and holly print, and the red music paper is from a Recollections Christmas pad.  I traced the letters backwards on the back of the papers, and fussy cut them out.  The nativity scene is cut with my Silhouette twice and layered together for sturdiness.  I painted over the letters with Americana DuraClean Satin Varnish to seal them.  The sentiment from SU Reason for the Season set is stamped on SU Very Vanilla and punched with a 2" circle punch.  It is mounted on a gold foil MFT doily die (discontinued).  The poinsettias are made with MFT Poinsettia die from MFT Electric Red CS.  I added a large glittery enamel dot by The Paper Studio to the centers.  The leaves are from a Christmas pick from the Dollar Tree.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

Tuesday Morning Sketches #332 - Anything Goes

and the Silhouette Challenges #32 - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day and a very 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Happy Stamping,
