Merry Christmas Snow Scene

I hope I'm not jinxing our winter weather by posting a picture of a snow scene so early in the Holiday Stamping Season.  But, I really liked how this one turned out.  It uses the White Christmas stamp set (p. 31 in the Holiday Catalog).  The color scheme is Soft Sky, Lost Lagoon, and Whisper White with accents of Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive and a hint of Pumpkin Pie (carrot nose!) from the Blendabilities markers.  The snowflakes in the background are stamped with Soft Sky ink.  I used the inverse side of the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder (Not quite as busy, in my opinion).  The ribbon is Lost Lagoon 3/8" Silky Taffeta Ribbon which ties like a dream!  Thanks for visiting today!

Holiday Cards

Here is a fun Holiday Card.  It's one of the designs I donated to the Auction this year.  I love the wreath from the Wondrous Wreath stamp set (p. 9 in the Holiday Catalog).  It's really fun to play with.  Add to it the Bundled Wonderful Wreath Framelits and you really have a lot of design options to work with.  The background paper is Wild Wasabi and embossed with the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder.  The bow and hanger are cut out of the Red Glimmer Paper (p 193 of the 2014-2015 catalog).   The Noel is cut from the Gold Foil Paper (also on p. 193).   Ink colors are Wild Wasabi, Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green.

Enjoy!

And more tags!

Ok, just a couple more tags and then I'll post some cards.  Hope these pictures aren't corrupted like the last few...

Here is the next gift tag.  It uses the Christmas Bauble stamp set and is colored in with Stampin' Blendabilities.  I really like the vibrant colors.  I embossed the bauble with Gold embossing powder.  Then colored it in and cut it out by hand.  Not really bad at all.  I popped it on to two die cut shapes (a Deco Label Framelit and a Circle Framelit).  Colors are Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler.

The next tag (last one I'll post, I promise) uses the Holiday Home Stamp Set and matching Homemade Holiday Framelits Dies.  I love how you can stamp the lights and the wreath right on the house.  Great fun.  Again I used paper from the Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack.   The Holiday Cheer sentiment is from the Cheerful Tags stamp set.  The tag is made using the Angled Tag Topper Punch.
