Merry Little Christmas Cards

Today I want to share a few Christmas cards that were inspired by Ronda Wade during her Holiday Creative Convention Online.  These cards utilize the Merry Little Christmas Memories and More card pack and a few additional supplies.

For the silent night card, I used an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Basic Black cardstock.  I added one of the M&M (Memories and More) cards to the top with adhesive.  I added the Silent Night card to a 4 1/8 x 3 1/8 piece of Silver Glimmer Paper with Tear and Tape adhesive.  Then I stapled a small piece of White 3/8 Classic Weave Ribbon to these cards and mounted it on the card using dimensionals.  I added a few black rhinestones to the star area as well.


For the ornament card, I cut down a 4 x 6 card to 4 x 5 1/4 and mounted on a 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Cherry Cobbler.   Then I create a banner end using a 1" x 3 piece of Cherry Cobbler and the Banner Triple Punch.  That is layered on the card with adhesive.  I cut the saying from a 3 x 4 card and mounted it flush to the right using dimensionals.  It's finished with a black rhinestone.


This card has a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Old Olive run through the Big Shot using the Polka Dots Basic TIEF.  It's mounted with adhesive on a 11 x 4 1/4 piece of Old Olive, scored at 5 1/2.  There is a 4 x 1 piece of Gold Glimmer added to that and then I cut one of the 3 x 4 cards in half and ran the 4 x 2 piece through my Tag Topper punch and added that to the top.  Layer the Deck the Halls with a 4 1/8 x 3 1/8 piece of Whisper White and add to the card using dimensionals.  Tie a bow and attach at the top with glue dots.


This is a 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Cherry Cobbler.  One M&M card is attached to the bottom and the other is attached on top - both with adhesive.  Tie a bow using the Classic Weave Ribbon and attach with a glue dot.


Come back tomorrow for another wave of inkless Merry Little Christmas cards!



The best Paper Pumpkin kits of the year come during the holidays, in my opinion!  This year, Stampin' Up! is trying something new and giving us TWO months of holiday kits in October and November and they will coordinate.  If you didn't order by October 10th, you won't be able to get the first kit at your door but you can still subscribe by November 10th to get the second one.  These kits will help you get your card and gift making started off right!  

Paper Pumpkin is creativity in a box.  It costs $19.95 plus tax and ships to your mailbox once a month.  It contains everything you need for your own creative escape.  Besides the instructions and pieces for the cards or project, it also contains ink and photopolymer stamps and usually the adhesive you need as well.  My subscribers will also get a project sheet with tips and additional ideas and instructions that they can make with the supplies in the kits and sometimes some supplemental supplies.  Plus I try to send one of the alternative ideas out to everyone in the mail so you get two fun surprises in the mail each month!  Sign up by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit! 

There are two ways to sign up.  
October's Pining for Plaid kits will go on sale today at 2pm MST so get them while supplies last! 

Subscribers can also have access to all my past project sheets!


Still looking for an in-person event to create some beautiful cards?  Join us on November 15th at Williamson Orchards and Vineyards for a Sip and Stamp event.  You will make 5 cards and an acetate card holder plus enjoy a glass of wine.  Cost is $20 for wine members/$25 for non-members and includes all the supplies you need (though I won't mind if you bring your own scissors!)
Register for this event here - space is limited!
