12 Weeks of QE Christmas - Week 12 Holly Berry gift card holder

  Well, we made it to Week 12 of my 12 Weeks of Quick & Easy Christmas cards...Christmas will be here in less than a week!!  I'm bringing you another gift card holder idea for those last-minute gifts.  These are great to keep on hand and you can use this same layout for any time of year, just change out the DSP and sentiment.  This week's card is once again from my Card Club this month and features the This Christmas specialty DSP and Holly Berry Happiness stamp set and coordinating punch along with the Wonderful Wreath framelits from the Annual catalog.  

  Here's a view of the inside of the card - there's a pocket and little card to write on with plenty of room for a gift card or cash.  

 

  Here is another view of this card.  I will be sharing the quick & easy project sheets for my last four cards shortly... thank you for your patience and understanding!  If you would like to receive the project sheet for this week's card and those going forward please make sure you're subscribed to my newsletter before tomorrow when it goes out to my subscribers.  You can easily add your email address in the subscriber box in the upper right section of my blog to have your name added to my distribution list.

12 Weeks of QE Christmas - Week 11 Candy Cane Lane card

 

  And now on to Week 11 of my 12 Weeks of Quick & Easy Christmas cards.  Christmas is almost here!!! This week's card is from my Card Club this month and features the Candy Cane Lane DSP from the Holiday catalog.  This layout is so versatile and can be used with any DSP - because our packs are coordinated you can cut a bunch of strips and mix and match to make a ton of cards to have on hand.  Sadly, this Christmas DSP is sold out, but any Christmas paper will work.  I paired it with a sentiment from the Oh, What Fun stamp set which can be found in the Annual catalog.

Fabulous Friday: Holiday Tags

   Happy Friday Saturday!!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing Christmas tag designs. Isn't it great when you can jazz up a simply wrapped gift with a hand-stamped tag?  I used the Tin of Tags stamp set that is available in the Holiday catalog.  It is paired with a tag set, but you can certainly use this set with your own card stock, ink and DSP to make a variety of different tags!

  I chose to use the This Christmas specialty DSP and pulled my colors from there: cherry cobbler, garden green and very vanilla.  I also used the Baker's Twine trio pack from the Holiday catalog which coordinated perfectly.  I cut out my tag shapes using the Big Shot and Tags & Labels thinlits... easy-peasey.  Because the stamps from the Tin of Tags set are photopolymer it was really easy to line up my stamps on the die cut card stock.   Don't forget to stamp a To/From piece for the backs of your tags!!

  Here's one more view of my tags.  I created a "bag" to hold the dozen tags I made by cutting the top off a clear envelope, creating a pocket.  I attached that to a piece of basic black card stock using tear & tape adhesive (because it is clear) and decorated the flap with some DSP.  The whole thing is held closed with gold twine from the trio pack.  For even more Christmas tag ideas please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what the other designers created this week.

12 Weeks of QE Christmas - Week 10 Emerald Paisley and Posies card

  I apologize for being MIA this week.  Last Saturday we had to say good-bye to our beloved Beagle Beau and it has been a tough week.  We miss him so much.  I still expect to see him when I come home from work, dancing around because he knows it is dinner time.  I am thankful for the love and joy he brought our family over the last 11 years.

  And now on to Week 10 of my 12 Weeks of Quick & Easy Christmas cards.  Can you believe how close we are to Christmas?  Are you ready?  I must admit I am behind, but thanks to these quick and easy card ideas I hope to get my cards completed and in the mail on Monday.  This week's card is yet another design from my Mega Christmas Card class earlier this month.  I really love the Paisley & Posies stamp set from the Holiday catalog and think it works great for a Christmas card when you pair it with Emerald Envy and Real Red ink.  I love creating my own background design and this is a great set for that!  

 

  Here is another view of this card.  I will be sharing the quick & easy project sheets for my last two cards shortly... thank you for your patience and understanding!  If you would like to receive the project sheet for this week's card and those going forward please make sure you're subscribed to my newsletter before Monday when it goes out to my subscribers.  You can easily add your email address in the subscriber box in the upper right section of my blog to have your name added to my distribution list.

Fabulous Friday: Vintage Christmas featuring Holly Berry Happiness

   Happy Friday!!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing vintage Christmas card designs. That is a style that is very hard for me but I am pleased with how my card turned out for this challenge.  I used the gorgeous Delicate Ornaments thinlits with my Big Shot along with the Holly Berry Happiness stamp set (get the Bundle before it's gone!)and This Christmas specialty DSP from the Holiday catalog.  I added lots of texture by crumpling the DSP and embellishing with lots of pearls.

  Here's a view of the inside of my card featuring more sentiments from the stamp set.  I aged the very vanilla card stock just like the DSP on the front of the card by sponging with crumb cake ink. 

  Here's one more view of my card. For even more vintage Christmas card ideas please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what the other designers created this week.
