Santa Tag It ...

I adore the Tag It Stamp Set from

Stampin' Up and love that it supports the

Ronald McDonald House Charities.

This cute (and simple) Christmas Countdown Card

was created with the Santa Tag in the set 

and was stamped on Whisper White Cardstock twice...

once in Real Red for the Santa cutout 

(which I popped up on Dimensionals)

and once in Early Espresso for the base.

The card foundation is Crumb Cake in color and the 

polka dot Real Red DSP came 

from the Brights DSP paper pack.

I notched the end to create a banner look. 

I then added a small lengthwise strip of 

Glimmer Paper  to the edge for holiday glitz!

The Ribbon added is 1/8" Taffeta Early Espresso. 

Enjoy and stay tuned for more

2013 Christmas Countdown fun!

Christmas Tree Merriment!

It's almost that time at my house....

everyone that knows me well, knows 

that my favorite time of the holiday season

is putting up the Christmas tree ...

And because I love it so much I like to put it up 

shortly after Halloween! (- yes I said Halloween)

It's because of the Joy Christmas brings that I love 

putting up that tree... its a reminder that there is Joy in

our lives because of the meaning of Christmas.

It's not simply about the presents under that tree...

it's about the One present God gave us in His Son

that we celebrate Christmas.

Enjoy this fun card...it makes me think of the 

bright colored trees my girls put up for their children...

Created with the various Designer Series Papers 

punched with the Petite Pennant Builder Punch 

and stacked on Whisper White Cardstock 

for the fun colorful and funky tree topped with a star

punched from silver glimmer paper.

The fun layer of Coastal Cabana Cardstock 

is created with the woodgrain embossing

 folder and edged with the scallop 

edge punch and glimmer paper.

The cute "Merry" sentiment is stamped 

in Cherry  Cobbler Classic Ink 

on Whisper White cardstock and 

punched out with the Ticket Punch.

I hope you enjoy this
