Tis the Season to Tag N Bag

I will be showing some packaging tips in the next few days as Christmas approaches.  For Christmas delivery Stampin' Up is suggesting ordering by Dec. 16th, so check that list and get your order in if there is something you need. 

The Tag I am showing today is very special and only available for me to use this year due to the Royals Outstanding Season.  I wish I could share with everyone, but you may get one in your stocking if you've been a good stamper!!

I love the play on words in the sentiment!  Endless Wishes was the perfect stamp set for this project, Snowflakes and Great Sentiments!!  The Polka Dot bag gives a Snowy background.  Silver ribbon and a Snowflake embellishment add some sparkle!!

I love this Holiday Home bundle and wanted to show it some love with a Christmas scene.  The backgound is Naturals White card stock, sponged with Soft Sky ink using a 1 1/4 inch circle mask to create the Moon.  Santa and his sleigh and the Sentiment are perfect for this background!  Trees in Mossy Meadow and the Tall house are stamped on the card base.  Blendabilities add color to the houses.  Crumb cake houses are cut with the Framelits and color added.  So many otions and Seasons in this Stamp set!!

Simple Santa Suit

Ok folks time is running out and if you need some simple quick cards, HERE is your card!!  After making the Santa jar last week I have been thinking of more Santa options and Julie Douglas a fellow Stampin' Up demo posted a similar card.  I cased her idea and changed it up a bit.  LOVE the result!!

The card base is Real Red.  The 5 1/4 X 4 Real Red mat is embossed with the Stylish Stripes embossing folder.  The 1 1/2 strip of Whisper White is embossed with the Filigree embossing folder.  A 1 inch Basic Black belt is added.  Silver Glimmer paper is punched with the Curly Label punch.  The Petite Curly punch in black completes the buckle.  The Sentiment is from "Get Your Santa On".

Cardinal Christmas

I love Cardinals and My Dad loved to watch them come to the Bird Feeder from my Dining room.  He would have loved my new French Doors and the awesome view they provide to the back yard.  Snoopy is permanently perched above the heat vent peering out these doors watching for whatever goes by. 
My Dad's Sister, AuntiM lives on Cardinal Drive, so I wanted to use "Beauty of the Season" for her card and also make her some note cards, but alas I have miss placed that stamp set and after looking for it a week have resigned myself to move on....so what stamp set has a cardinal?  White Christmas, little bitty Cardinals, but hey at this point I am desperate cause I need to get her package in the mail soon!!  And since I will be adding this card to a package I pulled out all the stops and added a bow and a Snowflake embellishment!!

I also used Dazzling Details and the Snowflake stamp in this set with Soft Sky for a Snowy effect.  Very pretty in person!  I used the Aqua painter and Real Red ink to paint the banner and add some color to the Cardinals.

Santa & Co. MOOSE!!

Today I am featuring the Moose stamp and another pattern from Santa & Co. Designer paper.  I love this moose!  And have been wanting to use these cute Mountain tops paper pattern for a card.  Another great Masculine paper for any occasion!

The Moose was stamped in Stazon Black on Whisper White and cut out with a Circle Framelit. 
I needed room to add the Washi Tape .  I had no intention for this to look like a Snow Globe, but after adding the sentiment at the bottom, whoa it's a Snow Globe!  Funny how things happen when you least expect it!!  The Santa Embellishments are popped up on a Marina Mist Circle punches  The Designer paper is embossed with the Filigree embossing folder and matted on Basic Black.  So cute!  And did I say the Santa & Co Suite is ON SALE!!   While Supplies last!!
