Chic Season

It's Merry Monday and I have a card that features the beautiful Texture Chic patterned paper along with the Christmas Season stamps:

It all started with the background paper. I wanted to play with the Texture Chic paper, where each sheet has gold foiled designs. But when I turned one of the sheets over, I saw this handsome design that sports a mottled wood-look. Chic and rustic! And the rest of the card just evolved.

I cut a tag with the Designer Tags dies, and stamped the greeting from Very Best Occasions using Evening Evergreen ink. But it was a little too white, so I flicked some ink on it to give it a distressed look.

Then I turned to Christmas Season for some holly and a pinecone, along with a few stamped leaves and some vellum ones.

Now I'm itching to flip that patterned paper over and create with the other side! This paper has so many possibilities!

Merry Monday with Seasonal Layers

Hard to believe that it's time for another Merry Monday! Each Monday from July through November I will bring you holiday card ideas.

And here is one of my favorites, so far:

Isn't that elegant? Do you notice anything familiar?

Well if you saw my post from yesterday (see it here) maybe you'll recognize that background. LOVE!

I started with a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock and ran it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss die-cutting machine with the striped die from the Candy Canes set. Then I repeated it with Cherry Cobbler.

I adhered the Mossy Meadow piece to my Thick Basic White card base. Then I took the Cherry Cobbler strips (left-overs from the die cut piece) and glued them between the Mossy Meadow stripes for a multi-colored, striped background.

The focal point was created using the Christmas Season stamps and Seasonal Label dies for the pinecones, holly and berries. They are mounted to a Basic White Deckled Rectangle, stamped with a greeting from Sweet Candy Canes, and embellished with some Festive Pearls.

There is plenty of time to create your holiday cards. I find that by starting now and creating just one or two a week, I can be ready to mail them all after Thanksgiving.

And now is a great time to order your holiday products. With every $50 purchase you can choose an item from the Sale-a-bration brochure for FREE! The Christmas Season stamps and Seasonal Labels dies will get you there. And with some wonderful holiday-related items (Tree Lot dies and Silver & Gold Designer Series Paper) you'll be all set for creating your holiday cards. But don't wait! These products are only available while supplies last - you won't want to miss out!

Merry Monday with Christmas Season

Time for another Merry Monday, and if you saw my last post (here) you might recognize something in this card:

See that Brick & Mortar embossed background? When I was preparing my card packs for my Cards-by-Mail earlier this month, one of the cards used a brick-embossed background with a circle hole in it. Well, while I was getting cards ready, somehow (not paying attention) I ran one of the pieces through the embossing folder facing the wrong direction - instead of a vertical card, I embossed it horizontally.

DOH! 😬

But I figured I would keep it around and after I got all my card packs in the mail, this piece was still sitting on my desk. So...

Happy Accident! I pulled out the beautiful Christmas Season Bundle and the Christmas To Remember stamp set and started to play.

I lined up the circle over my Thick Very Vanilla card base, and stamped the greeting with Cherry Cobbler ink. Then I added a few of the pine boughs from Christmas Season. Once the stamping was done, I adhered the Brick-embossed cardstock over the card base using Dimensionals.

The pinecones were stamped and cut with the Seasonal Labels dies (purchase the Christmas Season Bundle and save 10%), and then I stamped and cut the holly leaves/berries. They were all added to the card front with Liquid Glue and Dimensionals.

I finished with some Simply Elegant Trim (in gold--there are two spools in the pack, one silver and one gold, perfect for the holidays) and some Sequins for Everything.
