Hey there! The card I'm sharing with you today was also created for my class last Friday night. I really hadn't given the Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper or the Peaceful Noel stamp set enough love, so I decided to make another card with another print from the pack and use the elegant "Noel" to go with it!

The Frosted Floral Specialty print I chose reminds me of ivy/mistletoe, so I used a 4" x 5 1/4" piece on the Tranquil Tide card front. I added a piece of retiring Tranquil Tide 1/4" Velvet Ribbon with a bit of SNAIL adhesive, then added a Tranquil Tide layer cut with a Stitched Shapes Framelit.

I stamped "Noel" from Peaceful Noel (retiring) with Tranquil Tide on a white layer, then added pine needles with stamped-off Tranquil Tide. The little leaves directly under the greeting was stamped with Soft Seafoam. I cut it all out with a brand-new framelit from the Rose Trellis Thinlets, available on January 3rd from the Occasions Catalog. Three pearls are the finishing touch.

Inside I used a phrase from the retiring "His Light" set, and more Peaceful Noel foliage. I covered the envelope flap with a coordinating piece of the same Frosted Floral Specialty.

Hey there! Last Friday I held my final stamp camp of the Christmas season at Donna's house. I will resume my classes on January 1st, but I still have a few Christmas cards to share before I get serious about sharing Occasions and Sale-a-bration Catalog Sneak Peeks!

Today's share is a Christmas card I created for Donna's class with the Making Every Day Bright stamp set and Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper, both of which are on the retiring-while-supplies-last list. I needed a quick-and-cute card and this little penguin was perfect! The pearlized shine of the Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Paper helped provide a cold and wintry look!

I stamped three little pennies with Tuxedo Black ink on a white scrap, then punched with the Christmas Bulb punch. I colored their stocking caps with a Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends Marker (available January 3rd), then added a little bit of Clear Wink of Stella for cold wintry shine.

I stamped "Bright", from the not-retiring Making Christmas Bright, with black ink, then surrounded it with Balmy Blue snowflakes from the Making Every Day Bright set. I stamped each snowflake twice  before re-inking to get the two shades of Balmy Blue, and added a dot of Wink of Stella to each. You don't have to use a lot of different embellishment if you have a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush! I punched the greeting with the Pretty Label Punch, then cut a Balmy Blue one with my scissors to adhere behind it.

Inside I used another Making Christmas Bright sentiment and more Balmy Blue snowflakes:

Seems like there should be a song about these little guys, doesn't it?

Hey there! How are you today on the next-to-last Sunday before Christmas? I'm finding that my "tidsoptomist" side has kicked in; I'm under the mistaken belief that I have more time to get ready for Christmas than I actually do. Ahhh!

Today I'm sharing more Country Home samples from Vacation Stamping School and a couple of cute Christmas ones!

You really don't want to miss out on a pack of gorgeous Country Lane Designer Series paper. Country Home will still be orderable, but the paper will sell out soon! This card includes bits of cotton pulled from the ends of q-tips to give those cotton boll sprigs a realistic look!

This card, CASED from page 42 of the Holiday Catalog, features all that is great about the Country Home suite, including the Chicken Wire Elements, which are already sold out!

This Holiday Catalog CASE features this happy greeting included in Country Home:

Mmmmm! Mint Macaron is the card base color for this HC CASE embossed with the carrying-over Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The purple blooms are colored with Blackberry Bliss Light and Dark Stampin' Blends.

This card features Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper and the oldie-but-goodie Cookie Cutter Christmas and Cookie Builder Punch!

Finally, Spirited Snowmen is also retiring. If you love to color, but don't want to color all day on one card, this set is for you! Easily colored with Stampin' Write Markers or Stampin' Blends, your Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush will do the rest!
