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!

Just BELIEVE - - -

The rule at our house at Christmas is

"you better believe or Santa won't come"...

Even our grown kids get in on Santa because it is 

the spirit of giving that brings joy!

However, no Christmas gift is sweeter than 

the one God gave us when He

gave His Son for us - that if we BELIEVE

we would have Everlasting Life!

It's for that reason this card has a double meaning for me...

the Amazing gift of the baby Jesus and the wonder of Santa

as the stockings are hung with care on our mantle.

This card is a wonder of layered stamping and has a 

beautiful look as it is put together.

Supplies used include:  Brushed Silver Cardstock, 

Real Red Cardstock, Whisper White Cardstock,

Silver Embossing Powder, Heat Embossing Tool, 

Versamark Ink Pad, Embossing Buddy,

 Snowflake Soiree Stamp Set, Whisper White 5/8"

Organza Ribbon & Winter Frost Embossing Folder.

Look for a tutorial to be posted soon 

(most likely November 5) on this technique.

Enjoy today's Christmas Countdown idea!
