A Set of Bright and Merry Christmas Cards

 

Happy November! It's officially the start of the Holiday season, and I have some

Bright and Merry Christmas cards to share. 

This first one includes the popcorn string and stenciled So Very Merry 

sentiment.

The Bubble Lights Die set had me at the pre-release! And Betsy's fabulous green card

with the mercury glass lights and perfect layout, inspired my case. 

First in hunter green...

Then in scarlet. Such fun  to make, had to do more....

I die cut the background from several glitter and shimmer papers, and went to work

putting my bubble lights above the new Christmas sentiments.

I love the possibilities of color for the bulb! IRL, mine are all clear. 

The bubbling occurs when the light heats the water in the candle. My 'bubbles'

are tiny Nuvo droplets

5 more cards for the holiday stash! 

How's your holiday stash coming along?

Lantern Christmas Card

Hi there! I'm up on Poppystamps Blog today, using some of their new Christmas

dies and designer papers. The papers in this new pad have gold threads

running through the plaid, just gorgeous!

Hope you'll pop by the blog today to have a closer look. Thanks for

the visit!

Christmas Card Ala C9

A Very Merry Christmas to all my blogging friends!

I'm sharing a few of the cards I'm sending out using Concord and 9th's new release

for the holidays. Together with a few oldies but goodies from them too!

If you follow C9 at all you're familiar with their Turnabout stamp sets, a real

favorite of mine. Holly Berry Turnabout is stamped 4 times in green, then 2

times in raspberry (Altenew Inks) I have the Turnabout jig which makes it super easy!

Silent Night stamps inside the oval window. Holly Berry sprig and berries.

Couldn't waste the die cut oval! One more card with Holly Berry greenery cut from

Shimmer cardstock. Mistletoe Messages sentiment.

I think I stamped 30 card fronts with the turnabout set, using different colors.

This one with Christmas Cottage stamp set taking center stage.

I ran this one through with an embossing folder, and inked the card a bit.

One more with green card stock.

Played around with some different Christmas greenery too.

This background created with Woven Stripes Background stamp. 

Here's how I created the plaid: Stamped the allover stamp once, turned

and stamped again. Then filled in with a red pencil. 

Couldn't stop with this technique, and experimented with different bg color card stock.

the bow and berries cut from C9's Holiday Foil Paper Pack.

Well that's it for some of my Christmas cards. Will be posting others with 

sets from different companies soon!

Happy Holidays!
