My card today was inspired by one done by Mary Fish. It is always fun to do cards that are shaped differently and I used my Scallop Circle Bigz Die for this one as well as the 3 1/2″ Circle Originals die. My ornaments are stamped using Christmas Collectibles and cut out with the Christmas Ornament punch, both from the Holiday catalog. I decided to use Real Red as I’ve been using Cherry Cobbler on many of my cards lately (along with Gumball Green). My sentiment is from the set Christmas Messages. Did you notice that the rhinestone on the exclamation point is red?? I colored my rhinestone using a red permanent marker! To finish the card, I hung my ornaments with our beautiful silver ribbon.
Don’t forget about our Holiday Sale! It will be over in just a few days! You can look at the flyer HERE.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Today I have another jar for you! This time I wrapped a strip of our Season of Style paper around the jar with a piece of 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon in Gumball Green. The ornament on the front is from a set in the Holiday Catalog called Christmas Collectibles punched out with the Christmas Ornament Punch. If you purchase these two products together, you save 15%! I love that Stampin’ Up! has so many bundles like this available. I really blinged (I don’t think that is a word) up the top of my jar with Silver Glimmer paper and lots of rhinestones. I love all of the sparkling lights at this time of year so I think this top fits right in!
As I mentioned yesterday, I would love for you to email me a picture of your own jar creation! Thanks so much for stopping by!

I’m sure you know someone that you would like to give a little treat to. This is a fun way to wrap it up! The canning jar is oversized and so I was able to fit an entire bag of Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark squares inside. The first thing I did was to wrap a piece of Washi Tape around the outside of the jar. My snowflakes were made with the stamp set Festive Flurry and cut out with the matching Festive Flurry Framelits Dies. Some of the snowflakes were not stamped but just cut out with the Framelits and Silver Glimmer paper. I used dimensionals on each snowflake as I stacked them on top of each other. When I wrote the name on the top it seemed a bit plain so I used the little snowflake in the set Snow Day first. I inked up the stamp, stamped on my grid paper and then onto my circle. If you decide to make any of these, I would LOVE to receive an email from you and see what you’ve created!

As promised, here is another card using the stamp set Ornament Keepsakes and the matching Framelits (on sale until December 2nd). My inspiration came from Deena Boos. Her card used shades of blue and I decided to use traditional Christmas colors. This is another card that can be made quickly especially when using your Framelits to cut the ornaments.

I have another card for you today using one of my favorites this season, Joyful Christmas. Not only does it make beautiful cards but it is on sale until December 2nd!

It’s hard to tell in the photo, but I also used a silver Foil Sheet (#132178 $3.98) as one of the mats. If you would like to purchase any of these items to create this card, use the Hostess Code below to be entered in my Holiday Sale drawing to win Hostess Benefits.
