Octagon Punch Merry Christmas

Cute "wreath" out of DSP scraps & the Octagon Punch. So easy & quick! Using your DSP scraps will make it fun to choose your color scheme! And since this isn't actually a WREATH you could switch it up for any occasion! Have fun!!

Peace On Earth

Peace on Earth.... INDEED!!!

Love this set! This was my own personal Christmas card this year.  First I stamped the dove image in Soft Suede onto Whisper White cs then I embossed with the Pretty Print embossing folder (Holiday Catalog). Modern Label & Scallop Oval Punch made  up my greeting over top of Season of Style DSP & Soft Suede Taffeta ribbon.

Warm Winter Wishes

First cut your card stock 4 1/4"x 10 7/8"

Score at 2 1/2" & 6 3/4"

Take your 2 1/2" circle punch & "straddle" the 2 1/2" score line. Punch.

Fold on score lines.

Add a piece if DSP (I used Winter Frost) 

With card all folded on score lines add your scallop circle applying adhesive only to bottom to adhere to part of card peeking thru window.

Use scallop border punch for front edge.  Stamp image on circle & mount on scallop circle. Add a little snowflake on mini scallop circle to tuck top flap behind

Christmas Candles

Another cool way to use your scraps of DSP. AND your scraps of glimmer paper! In ever throw away scraps of glimmer paper. Even the tiniest bit can make a card pop!! The holly leaves are from the Bigz die "Stocking Accents". Love this card!

All I Want For Christmas...

Here's that Winter Frost DSP again!! And the Bigz Bow die!! So so cool!!  Hope your Christmas season is wonderful so far!!

My Christmas Tree

Beautiful huh? Just had to share!

Merry Little Christmas

Here's a great idea using the opposite part of a framelits punch than we normally do. Save the insides for another time & put appropriate DSPs behind the "negative". Simply adorable!! I "stitched" a little with a Cherry Cobbler marker to give a country effect. Add bakers twine & a little bitty greeting & you have a really cute card!!

Hot Chocolate Tubes

Aren't these little guys cute? We used the 1"x8" cello bags & filled them with peppermint hot chocolate!! Curly label punch, Word Window punch & various square punches were used also. Add a colored pearl ( colored with a red sharpie), wiggle eyes, freehand smile & nose & you've got some cute toppers for your hot chocolate tubes!! Have fun!!

Merry Christmas

Here's that Winter Frost DSP again!!! I love this paper!! You can create so many different looks from this package!! This card I paired with Bermuda Bay & how cool it looks!!! 

Chevron Card

Love this card! You could use anything in place of the mittens... It's just what I had &  I thot it looked so cute! Simple but adorable!!

The Grinch

You all know how very much I LOVE the Top Note die & here's another reason! Isn't he adorable? It seems I use this die ALL the time!!! Also I used in this card the 3/4" circle , 1/2" circle punch & the Scallop edge punch. 

Glimmer Seasons Greetings

You know I gotta admit that this pattern of DSPin the Winter Frost pack was my least favorite but when you couple it this way WOW! how gorgeous is THIS??!! Totally gives you the feeling of a cold starry Christmas night,huh? The greeting & tree look black but they are actually Basic Grey.

I used the poinsettia out of the Joyful Season set and cut it out. Them I added some lace I had & the greeting. So very merry looking, don't you think?
