HOLIDAY CARDS

Man did I have fun designing my holiday cards this year. I love Wild Wasabi and Purely Pomegranite together. The Season of Joy set was my favorite from the Holiday Mini Catalog and the wide satin ribbon in Purely Pomegranite is gorgeous! I am praying that they add the wide satin ribbon to the 2008 Spring and Summer Collection! I also used paper from the Winter Bright Simply Scrappin' kit, a silver brad, scallop & 1" circle punch and silver elastic cording.

Speaking of the Winter Bright Simply Scrappin' Kit... I LOVE THE COLOR COMBINATION! I came up with a simple one layer card and anyone could create! Here I used the stamp set Snowfall, Whisper White cardstock, Regal Rose wide grosgrain ribbon with Bashful Blue and and Wild Wasabi ink. Simple... simple... simple!

This last card I used the Holiday Glitz package that Stampin' Up! offered as a kit. I added a few touches to make it mine! I liked the idea of using a flap to close the card but did not like the directions to use simple staples. I decided to use two red brads and silver elastic cording instead. The other change I made was to 'hide' the ribbon to let more of my stamped image show. The best thing about this kit was everything came pre-cut, scored and ready to! Included in the kit was cardstock & Designer Series Paper, pre-cut ribbon and rhinestone brads. All I needed to add was the stamp set Snowfall and ink in Soft Sky & Wild Wasabi.
