Happy Holidays

Papers:  Memory Box First Snowfall and Holly Jolly pp, Memory Box dill notecard and cs, Memory Box kraft cs
Stamp Ink:  SU garden green
Stamps:  Memory Box Meadow Birds D1376
Embellishments: misc. twill, Martha Stewart lace tag, Martha Stewart layered arches border punch, sewing machine, LuminArte poppy red and forest green, Spellbinders labels eleven die

For my card today, I painted the new Meadow Birds stamp {D1376} with LuminArte H2Os.  It's a bit messy but I like the look.  Some of the dots on the stamp did not show up with the paint so I went back and used a paint brush to make more dots.  After painting and die cutting the image, I also sponged on some green ink.  To see my tutorial on how to do that, please see my post here.  I put a lace tag behind the image because I thought it looked like a snowflake which was perfect for this card.  I also used pre-printed twill for my sentiment which also worked out nicely.

Next, I tried putting some of my last creations together to see if they would make a nice set.  What do you think?

 
I like the set!  I think these will definitely be off to someone this year.  So, have you started your Christmas cards yet? Do you make all of the same design or do you make several?  I would love to know what you do!  Thanks for stopping by and looking at my creations today.  See you again soon!

I've enjoyed seeing your Christmas cards, you have beautiful paper to work with. I've bought several of the small Memory Box paper pads, and love them, but don't have anything Christmas. I'm working on a scrapbook now--but I know it is time to start on Christmas cards. I'd really like to do some handmade cards this year. Blessings
