Christmas in November

🎄🎄🎄🌟🌟🌟🎄🎄🎄🌟🌟🌟🎄🎄🎄

Our Second Thursday Stampers are getting an early Christmas this month.  All three of our projects celebrate the holiday and every card will be a make and take ready to send.  We are proud to share the love with . . .
                            🌟
                        a tree
                    and a tag 
          with red and green 
   some big fluffy snowflakes
  and pretty paper and ribbons
             and a little bit
                  of bling

We have all that and more in our easy Christmas cards this month.  Our 2017 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog packed to the brim with beautiful stamps and accessories, made our beautiful projects easy.

Most papers, inks, and accessories used in our projects are from ©Stampin’ Up!

A Tree for Christmas

The Season Like Christmas stamp set made this easy multi-step stamped tree a piece of cake to create!  Thank you so much to blogger Happy Stampin' - Janneke de Jong.  We needed some translation, but we loved your idea and managed to make our version of your lovely card.  The Heavy White Card Stock is the perfect card base and Dimensionals make our card front detail stand out.

A Season Like Christmas Card

Our card base is Basic Black Card Stock with Delightful Daisy DSP on top.  The tree is stamped in four steps with Sahara Sand, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, and Real Red Ink.  The inside and outside messages coordinate nicely and are stamped with Basic Black Ink.  Some of our new Jute Twine and a few Metallic Enamel Shapes finish things nicely.  What an easy way to send some Christmas Love to your besties!

An Ice Blue Flurry of Flakes

No one looks forward to a snowstorm in November, but our little flurry of flakes might just be an exception to that rule.  There is a bit of a bonus when the recipient of this lovely greeting opens it to reveal a pocket filled with a gift card or maybe a little cash.

A Flurry of Flakes Card

Our card base of Heavy White Card Stock is 11" x 4 1/4" and scored at 2" and 5 1/2".  It is folded and taped to create a pocket and stamped with little Soft Sky snowflakes from Tags and Trimmings.  The greeting and snowflakes are from Flurry of Wishes and punched with the Flower Medallion and Snow Flurry Punches.  The brand new Soft Sky Classic Weave Ribbon wrapped around a panel of Soft Sky Card Stock.  Our 2 1/2" and 1 1/4" Circle Punches teamed up with some Island Indigo Card Stock for some accents that make our snow flakes stand out.  Rhinestones glisten on the freshly fallen flakes and make this card a beautiful gift for someone special.

Directions for this gift card style card can be found at http://www.serenestamper.com/2017/03/cool-treats-gift-card-holder.html  Many thanks for the idea.

Label This Wish

A Very Merry Christmas wish couldn't be easier than our sweet little card with Labels to Love as its centerpiece.  Traditional red and green are perfectly portrayed with Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green.  

A Cherry Cobbler Christmas Card

We started with a card base of Heavy Vanilla Card Stock and built this beauty with layers of Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler Card Stock topped off with a piece of a retired holiday Designer Series Paper.  The central focus is our tag stamped with a message from Labels to Love in one of our favorite reds . . . Cherry Cobbler of course!  We punched the label with our Everyday Label Punch and backed it up with another label punched from Cherry Cobbler Card Stock.  Dimensionals make our label pop and some Pearls add a perfect shine.

We are happy to give credit where credit is due.  This excellent design and many others can be found at http://www.suestampfield.com/blog/2017/10/the-perfect-christmas-card-simple-but-striking.html
