More Night in Bethlehem

I have had a few months to create with this bundle, and it is so much fun!  Here are few more ideas with a few different color combinations.  I like to be accurate, so take notice that on the cards with Mary and Joseph, I did not use the large star as it didn't appear until after Jesus was born. On the cards with shepards, I used the large star, because that is what lead them to Jesus.  

Embossing folders on Foil sheets

Foil sheets are great for adding that metallic look to any project.  But using them with an embossing folder takes the look to the next level.  The Gently Falling and Winter Wonder Textured Impressions Embossing Folders were used below to add some texture to these cards!  Which card do you like better?

Year of Cheer Suite

Accessories are one of my favorite things about Stampin' Up!  They do such a great job of making all the products coordinate and work so well with each other.  The Year of Cheer Suite features: Foil Snowflakes(in silver and gold), Washi Tape(see card 1),  Champagne Foil sheets, and Designer Series Paper(used on all 3 cards).  All of these products work great as small accents or as the main focus of a card.

DSP Plaid

Designer Series Paper makes paper crafting so much easier.  There are some days when I can struggle for inspiration, and just need a jump start for ideas.  DSP can be a great source of inspiration for creating a card.  When I had ordered the Merry Mistletoe stamp set, it was because of the words in the set.  I wasn't sure how I felt about the reindeer.  When paired with the plaid DSP, I think it makes a great combination!

Fall Thank You notes

Thank you's are something that are not seasonal, but it can be fun to use some seasonal cards as Thank you notes.  The first card uses the Wood Paper Stack that is part of the special on Designer Series Paper through the end of the month.  The second card also has some wood features, using the wood grain embossing folder, it adds some texture to the back ground.  The third card the embossing paste that is new, and also the cat punch, not quite a halloween card, but perfect for fall.

World Card Making Day Thank You

October 7th was World Card Making day, and I want to say Thank You to everyone that stopped by my Open House to stamp a few cards.  Here is a sampling of the cards that I had setup to stamp.  I will say that everyone that was in attendance did a great job adding their unique touches to create cards that were your own.
