Sugar Sweet Tree

Hi Y'all . . .  I love posting fun cards 

for our Christmas Countdown!

This sweet card is a delight with the sugary sparkle of the 

Silver Glimmer Paper and Silver embossing powder.

I love the Winter Frost 

Specialty Designer Paper

and the foiling on it...

it makes a perfect accent for tree image

 in the Evergreen Stamp Set

The Dotted Scallop Ribbon punch was used 

for the glimmer paper on each side of the tree

and the Merry Mini "star" punch 

was used for the tree topper and 

Soft Sky Seam Binding created the 

ribbon accent.

Enjoy this quick card creation for your Holiday idea deck ...

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!

More Joy to Share...

I adore the way the Cherry Cobbler and Soft Sky 

come together for this fabulous card.

The card foundation is Soft Sky and then 

a layer of vellum embossed with the 

Winter Frost Textured Impressions Folder 

was added for some great holiday detail. 

Additional Stampin' Up Jewel Rhinestones were used to draw 

attention to the center of the embossed snowflakes. 

I punched a small strip of Soft Sky DSP 

that I created on My Digital Studio 

with the Scallop Trim Border Punch and added 

rhinestones in each scallop.

The sentiment was stamped in Cherry Cobbler and
is from the Stampin' Up set Perfect Punches.

I punched it out with the scallop punch and used 

Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine to tie it to the 

Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding wrapped bow.

Stay tuned daily for more Christmas Countdown ideas....

Enjoy!
