Wow!   November 30th. I'm trying to wrap my head around, that it truly is almost December.  I'm not ready for December yet lol.  Well, at least I have one more Christmas card finished right? I'm not a huge washi tape lover, however, I am in love with this particular role (it came in a Studio Calico kit...unsure of the origin/brand).  Red. which is one of my favorite colors with, snowflakes...sold! So, I paired this fun washi tape, with the December stamp set from Avocado Arts.  I stamped the hat and mittens in a nice green ink (clearsnap), onto woodgrain card stock (studio calico), stamped my sentiment in black ink, then embellished the card with washi tape, sparkly May Arts ribbon, and a few red pearls. Bright, happy, fun and ready to be mailed. Take a quick visit to these ladies, to see what they made using this set as well.

This week Lawn Fawn is showcasing all of their Holiday stamp sets, it is all about getting ideas and inspiring you for the upcoming Holidays. Today, I am sharing a card I made using the Cozy Christmas stamp set.  The little smiley faces on the milk and cookies, had me at hello.  So many great element in this set!!  I created a "scrappy" little scene, using the striped stocking, santa note, cookies, milk & Merry Christmas sentiment from the Cozy Christmas set, as well as a few stickers from the FaLaLa sticker sheet, and the red/white Trimmings (all from Lawn Fawn).   Make sure to visit the Lawn Fawn blog everyday this week, for great projects as well as videos!!

Today, Lawn Fawn is doing a blog hop with MarkerPop.  I made a card using Lawn Fawn stamps, and Copic markers (that you can get through MarkerPop).  I wanted something simple, but elegant.  Sometimes, well a lot of times I struggle with pulling it off, but today, I was able to put what I saw in my head onto paper. Head on over to the Lawn Fawn Blog for more inspiration and a possible giveaway!

Today, I have another clean and simple Christmas card using the latest stamp set from Avocado Arts .  We all have so many cards to give and send out during the Holidays, so I like to keep them more on the simple side.  Why?  Because most people trash them.  I like to save my fancy cards, for those who will cherish the card.  But, for the most part, they are clean all the way baby. The card is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches (standard size card), and I started by just adding two strips of washi tape to the left hand side.  I then stamped the banner strip, and ornaments and colored them in using Copic markers that coordinated with the washi tape (easy right).  Then finished by adding the sentiment as well as some thick twine.  Cute and easy, not to mention another Christmas card stashed in my basket of cards ready for use.
