Christmas Thank You Notes

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a wonderful holiday! Today I am sharing an idea for a Christmas Thank You Note. I created the card with the Pretty Pink Posh Poinsettias Stamp Set. This a fun way to get a little more use out of holiday stamps.


I started by stamping the poinsettias and the leaves on watercolor paper with Versamark Ink and embossing with gold embossing powder. I used Daniel Smith Watercolor Paints. Once the paint was dried I splattered the flowers with watered down gold paint. Next I die cut with the Poinsettias Coordinating Dies. I also cut a few leaves from gold glittered cardstock. 


The sentiment is from the Everyday Greetings Stamp Set, stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder on patterned paper. In the center of each flower I added a jewel from the  Metallic Gold Jewels


Have a great day!

Joy to the World

Happy Christmas Eve! Happy Holidays Everyone! I hope you have a wonderful celebration with family and friends. I come from a big family family and have 33 people at my house on Christmas Day!


Joy to the World seems like a perfect last Christmas card for this year. My card is created with the Angel Friends Stamp Set and Angel Friends Coordinating Dies from Pretty Pink Posh. I used Oxide Distress Inks to create the background in Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire. 


The frame is die cut with the Scallop Frames Dies and the clouds are cut with the Rainy Days Coordinating Dies.  I finished off the card with a few sequins from the Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix

Wishing you and yours a wonderful Holiday. Thanks for all your sweet comments and support throughout the year!

Plaid Christmas Tags

Hi and thanks for stopping by today! I have four Christmas Tags I created to share with you. The products are from Taylored Expressions. I love the the Buffalo Plaid Background Stamp. I have used this stamp on so many projects already. Here I used the stamp for the background of my tags.


I die cut the base of my tags with the Tag Stacklets 2. I layered the Buffalo Plaid on Oreo Cardstock. I punched a small hole at the top of each tag and used Gold Twine to tie the tags to a gift. 


I used the Flip the Script - Tree Tag and Stamp Die Combo for two of my tags. On the first tag I stamped the sentiment in Versamark Ink on Cilantro Cardstock and embossed with TE White Embossing Powder and then used the tree die to die cut the tree. 


On the second tag I stamped the tree, with the sentiment in the negative, in Versamark Ink and embossed with TE White Embossing Powder. The reindeer is die cut from Gold Foil with the Little Bits - Reindeer Die. 


My second tag uses the Flip the Script - Snowman Tag Stamp & Die Combo. I used the same process I used for the tree, stamping the Snowman with the sentiment in the negative and then just the sentiment. 


The hat is included in the die set. The flowers is die cut with the Little Bits - Holiday Bloomers.
