Time is slipping away from me...

and I didn't finish my cards! LOL. So, I didn't get to make ALL of my cards this year. I had the best intentions, and every year I swear I am going to start sooner. But here we are again, with only a few days until Christmas...and I've only managed to make about 40 cards. I may sneak in a few more but I also might send out a Hallmark or two (or twenty...)

So let me share with you the ones I did manage to make....

This one came together pretty quickly. The card base is Crumb Cake. I stamped the Snowflake in the background from Winter Post using Versamark Ink. A strip of Deck The Halls Designer Paper and Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon across the middle. The Holly is from Peaceful Seasons (a Level 2 Hostess Set). The ornament was inked in Cherry Cobbler, then punched out with the Ornament Punch and popped up on dimensionals. I added a small Rhinestone to the ornament for just a little bling.

Now this one took a bit longer....

The card base is Cherry Cobbler, with a 2" strip of Always Artichoke that had been run through the Big Shot using the Petals a Plenty Embossing Folder. A strip of Early Espresso Satin Ribbon runs across the middle.

The tag was cut to 2 1/2" x 4" and layered with Early Espresso. Dasher was inked in Early Espresso and stamped on the Whisper White tag. I used a piece of Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon at the top of the tag. There are a few layers at the bottom of the tag - starting with a small piece of Always Artichoke that was punched with the Scallop Edge Punch, and layered with a 3/4" strip of Cherry Cobbler, and a touch of Victoria Crochet Ribbon (God I love that stuff...)

I added a button from the Deck The Halls Jumbo Buttons in the Holiday Mini and threaded it with Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by today! I am so sorry for the lack of posts. I am not even CLOSE to being ready for Christmas. Nothing is wrapped, and there is so much left to do, including coming up with a craft for my son's 3rd grade class. I should be able to whip something up quickly - I mean, I have a whole stamp room full of this stuff! LOL. I will share what I come up with - - - I am thinking something snowman related...maybe a bookmark? Hmmmm....

Have a great day!
