OH, HOW I LOVE....

this stamp set and matching punch!!! There was no way I wasn't using this in my Christmas card class, it's a perfect set for it! It's the Curly Label punch and matching stamp set and I love it!!! We made three more cards using this punch and set plus some vivid Real Red against that awesome Bella Rose. And, I could not resist using my Big Shot again. On this first card, I used the giant Scallop circle, and just trimmed off the top so it would lay right up against the edge of the card. The sentiment was stamped twice, once in Riding Hood Red, then Kiwi Kiss, so that we could cut out the center oval and pop it up on dimensionals for a really nice look! Simple, but pretty, don't you think?

The second card also uses a die from the Big Shot - yep, I used the Top Note Die again, I couldn't help myself - and truth be told, the gals loved it! We used the same sentiment stamp on this one, but flipped the colors around, and added some brads to the ribbon just to give it some pop! Yummy!! I just love how all the greens we have can be mixed and matched together to create a beautiful look - and they look so good agains that red! The third one does not use the Big Shot but we did use the new felt flurries that are available one week from today out of the holiday mini catalog. You get a lot of them too - and they are all different, just like real snowflakes, lol! For this one, the sentiment is actually two different stamps, again using the two differing colors, and again, adding some more brads. I loved the way these three came out, these are my favorite colors together at Christmas time! So, are you sick of Christmas cards yet? I hope not although I am giving you a break since tomorrow I will be posting my sketch challenge for Tamara. Well, I am off to stamp some more projects for the craft fair this weekend - I have no idea what I am supposed to have for one of these things, so I am totally winging it - I hope it's all worth it, lol!! So, I will leave you the recipe and hope to see you all back here tomorrow - toodles!
