Christmas Pines

I’ve said many times before how much I love how our products coordinate.  I also love playing around and coming up with my own combinations of product to create something stunning.  For today’s card I started out cutting a start (from the Star Framelits) out of Crumb Cake  card stock.  Next I ran it through the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.  With a piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock I cut out the word “Noel” from the Detailed Santa Thinlits and attached it to the lower edge.  Finally I stamped the pine boughs and pine cones (from the Christmas Pines stamp set) on the front of the Whisper White card front and attached the crumb cake layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I finished it off with a  Cherry Cobbler bow made from Bakers twine.   Oh by the way, the Christmas Pines stamp set is one of the stamp sets offered at a 25% savings through November 30th.  Why not take advantage of this great deal?  Click my shop now button to see all of the items on sale.

Merry Christmouse

Yesterday I posted a card made with the Merry Mice stamp set and I thought I’d share another one today.  Once again I paired it with the Warmth & Cheer Designer Series Paper Stack.  Just a simple card with a little coloring in with the Stampin’ Write Markers.  I love the sentiment Merry Christmouse!

Merry Mice

I am not a fan of mice…at all…except the mice in the Merry Mice stamp set.  These mice are adorable because they’re looking to decorate the tree.  I remember one of the first Christmas’s we were married, I strung popcorn and cranberries and made a garland for our tree.  As the days lead up to Christmas the garland was starting to sag and fall apart.  After Christmas when we took the tree down, we found a huge pile of popcorn and cranberries under the tree skirt.  No more garland of that kind in our house after that, and we always made sure to have a few mouse traps set.  YUCK!
