Triangle Trees for Merry Monday

 We're coming to the end of Merry Mondays, where I post Christmas cards each week from August through December.  And today I have a cute one:

Made with the Stitched Triangle dies and some Heartwarming Hugs designer paper (my favorite!), this cute card has a few extras to make it special.

I started with a piece of Basic White cardstock and cut three of the triangles, overlapping each other.  Then I stamped the greeting from Tidings and Trimmings before running the sheet through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine with the Timber embossing folder.  I added the patterned paper behind the cut-outs of the two larger trees and then added jewels - Red Rhinestones and Basic Rhinestones.

The smallest tree was cut again with the dies and the patterned paper, then popped up over the open "hole" using Dimensionals.

Just a few more jewels, and it was on to the inside:

Layered with Real Red and adding some little ornaments from the now retired Little Treats set, makes a cute sentiment.

Have you finished your holiday cards yet?  I hope I've been able to inspire you for your next one!

A Merry Monday Re-boot

 If this card looks familiar, it’s because you may have seen a similar one on my blog several months ago.  

This card showcases the Tidings & Trimmings bundle (stamps and dies) and is super easy to create!  

But look at that star:

Is that not perfectly luscious?  

The Christmas Tidings dies make it so easy!  First the bold solid star (cut with Cherry Cobbler card stock) and then topped with the detailed copper (Copper Foil) overlay.  So pretty!

The Heartwarming Hugs patterned paper is set off with a skinny Cherry Cobbler border, wrapped with Linen Thread, atop a Garden Green base.  The Scalloped Contours dies created the perfect label for the greeting, stamped in Garden Green ink.

I could easily make a fistful of these cards in no time.  And that makes this card perfect for this busy time of year!  

Why not take a peek at Tidings & Trimmings and the Christmas Tidings dies and make your holiday card-making easy?

Tidings & Trimmings for Merry Monday

 I recently challenged my Ink Masters team members to a little card-making challenge.  We played "tic-tac-toe" with this grid:

                       

                    Ribbon                    Die Cut                    Holiday

                    Birthday                  Brights                    Flowers

                    Neutrals                   Leaves                    Embossing

The idea was to take any three entries, across, down or diagonally, and create a card.  Here is my entry:

Can you guess how I played tic-tac-toe?  

If you guessed the top row, you'd be right - Ribbon, Die Cuts, Holiday

I love the FREE background paper, Peaceful Prints.  If you love it too, place your qualifying Sale-a-Bration order NOW - it ends (and this paper will no longer be available) on September 30!

I stamped the stocking and bow from Tidings & Trimmings and cut them out with the Christmas Trimmings dies.  I also cut two tags in Basic White and Shaded Spruce with the Tailor Made Tags dies.  These are so cute, with their pierced edges!

I tied some Real Red Mini Ruffled Ribbon with some White Bakers Twine to finish my tag.

The background paper was added to a skinny layer of Shaded Spruce, and then on to a Thick Basic White card base.  

This card would be easy to duplicate, and with the FREE Peaceful Prints paper, is also inexpensive!  Win Win!

Don't forget Sale-a-Bration!  This is the final few days, and you won't want to miss out on FREE products with every qualifying order!
