Holly Berry Happiness Set

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

I know I am running out of time to share more holiday cards but I still have a few left that I wanted to share. This set was made for Audrey and I pulled out the retired Holly Berry Happiness Bundle from the 2016 Stampin Up! Holiday Catalog. She wanted these without a sentiment on. I paired it with some Poinsettia Place DSP that is also retired.

Card Details:

Stamps: Holly Berry Happiness (retired)

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends-Real Red, Old Olive

Cardstock: Real Red, Basic White, Old Olive, Poinsettia Place DSP (retired)

Accessories: Holly Berry Builder Punch (retired), Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Holly EF (retired), Red Rhinestones (retired), Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

She wanted something Christmas-y but without a saying on so she would use them whatever she needed them for. I think this was the first time I actually inked this set up and colored the images. I only ever used the sentiments in the set. I loved how they turned out especially all the holly stuff!

Mixed Metals Foil Card

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Hope your week is moving along smoothly!

I got so much accomplished yesterday! 

All my Christmas cards have been addressed and mailed, the gifts are wrapped and my cookies are mixed up and in the fridge ready to be baked.

Today I am heading to my stamp table to make up a couple gift cards and also my dear hubby requested a few cards for his boss & other management people at work.

This is the card he requested.

Actually this card was designed for my last get together with my friends. I wanted something easy but also to show off the pretty foil papers that Stampin Up carries. I cased the idea from BJ Peters with a few changes....

I have not used the Winter Wonder Embossing Folder hardly at all this season and that makes me sad because it is quite pretty but those foil papers just make it shine beautifully!

Snowflake Embossed Foil Card:

Stamps: Holly Berry Happiness (Sentiment)

Ink: Soft Suede

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Champagne Foil, Gold Foil, Copper Foil, Silver Foil

Accessories: Winter Wonder EF, Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

So today I have a few of these cards to create but Shawn wanted a different saying on them.

It will be a fun day of creating!

I hope you all are getting your Christmas preparations underway!

I have cookies to bake tomorrow and 2 more gifts to wrap as soon as they are delivered. 

My hubby has a long weekend coming up so we have planned an evening out. Going to a nice place for supper then off to see some holiday lights! I'm looking forward to it!

My thoughts today....

Shawn took this picture at the Steam Into History train the other weekend when we had snow.

It was awesome to see and what a great shot!

That's all for now!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!
