Christmas is Coming...

...and it's ONLY 93 days away!

I know you aren't quite singing Jingle Bells yet, but I'm hoping
that you're planning some Holiday happiness - and
somewhere your heart is starting to hear the tunes of Christmas.

I'm adore this color combination and it is trending 

everywhere this year from home decor to crafting items.

Enjoy another sweet Holiday idea in my 

2013 Christmas Countdown.

Another Great Card for Christmas

I love Christmas....and as promised I will be sharing 

a TON of Christmas ideas with you in 

my 2013 Christmas Countdown!  

Here's another simple, yet elegant Christmas Card for you.

To create the beautiful poinsettia 
( Joyful Christmas Clear Mount Stamp - Stampin Up!), 
start by stamping the image

 twice on Vellum with VersaMark 

and then embossing with Silver Embossing Powder.  

Cut one image and only the center of the second one.  

Layer them on top of each other with dimensionals.  

Then I add the pretty Frosted Finishes 

embellishments from Stampin' Up!, 

which adds a little extra sparkle to the card.  

Enjoy your Christmas Cheer for the day!

A Christmas Treat Topper for You

Today's Christmas Countdown Freebie is a sweet Treat Topper 

that you can save and print for this year's Christmas treats.

Whether you plan to gift a clear treat sack of
cookies or handmade gift tags, this would
be a fabulous addition to your treat sack.

This could also be used on the top of a cute 

paper sack that was colored or plain, as well.

Save this mage, add image to blank page in program of your choosing 

(I usually choose from Word, Photoshop or MS Publisher),

 print, trim and fold in half for the treat bag of your 

choosing and then staple to secure to the top.

I created this great topper using My Digital Studio 

and the original size of the image is 4.25" x 5.5".

If you have a printer that allows for Borderless printing you can 

lay a series of these images out to fit 4 to a page.

Enjoy!
