Stampin' Up! meets Heartfelt Creations Christmas 2018 Darling Deer card

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! My tree is up and decorated! And then redecorated after my cats were finished adding their "decorating" technique! Everything in my house is considered a cat toy, including me! lol 

If you should need a few extra ornaments on your tree, just get out your Star of Light dies, some foil paper and cut your own! I added some that I made using my new favorite crafting supply, Mirri Card Reflective Paper from marcopaper.com!

They really look lovely! And all I did was cut them out and hang them! Easy Peasy!

This weeks card features the cutest little deer pulling a sleigh full of gifts! He came from Heartfelt Creations Merry & Bright Collection Papers. There are 2 sheets in the paper pack with the deer & sleigh plus the branches and the die set cuts them perfectly so it's a big time saving "cheat" to be able to just die cut them! If you prefer to spend the time coloring in your deer & branches there is also a stamp set that coordinates with the dies. And, yes, that is the lacy border I passed over when I made the poinsettia card!

Stampin' Up! meets Heartfelt Creations Christmas 2018 Poinsettia card

Ah! Poinsettias! 

If I had to choose between having a Christmas Tree or a Poinsettia plant, for me that would be a hard choice to make! 

I've used what might have been a throwaway or scrap pile candidate from the Majestic Labels Twenty Five die. I had originally planned to use the lacy border for this card but when I saw the middle section I thought it looked like an antique mirror! Don't worry, the lacy border will be used for my next Christmas card!

Here's a closeup of the corner decoration that shows the detail in the garland pieces!

Stampin' Up! meets Heartfelt Creations Christmas 2018 I'll Be Home Card

I thought it was high time I did a shaker card and the snowy home & trees landscape that I found in Heartfelt Creations Merry & Bright Collection papers was perfect!

I used some off beat items for this card. One was the dies for the larger foil pine branches. I found those here on amazon.com and I also found the snowflake sequins and the faux snow there too!
My clear glitter is also on amazon.com. I love it because it truely is CLEAR glitter, nice and sparkly with no ab colors showing up. Nothing but sparkle!

Kicking off the Holiday Season.....

with this easy, elegant and highly mailable (is that even a word?) Christmas card! This is perfect for mass producing and it definately will stand out from the rest of the cards with it's handcrafted look!  

I wanted to talk about one of the papers I used and that is the silver Mirricard paper. I came across this paper at a scrapbooking show that I went to in Orlando, Florida and I bought silver, gold and copper packs to try out and I LOVE this paper! It doesn't dent like other foils I've tried and has a truely mirror-like finish. I even got a bit of glue on one piece and rubbed it with a damp micro-fiber cloth and it cleaned up and no marks! Marco's Paper sells it (marcopaper.com) and you can go right to it by clicking here! I am seriously spoiled now and I'm going to get more when I run out.
