I'm so glad that I had several of these gift card holders ready to go! They come in handy this time of year to put your gift cards in - makes the presentation just a little more special! Click here for the previous post with all the directions.
Sorry the picture doesn't do this card justice! My friend, Susan sent this card & it is just so striking with a bit of sparkle on the tree! If you can believe it, I didn't send out one hand stamped Christmas card this year! I ended up ordering picture cards by Shutterfly at the last minute. It seems that my best intentions get run over by all the other things that need to be done this time of year. Perhaps I will make next years cards in July so I'm ready for 2011?
This is a beautiful Laser Cut Nativity Mrs. Grossman sticker. I attached it to a piece of ivory cardstock & then layered it up & added the gem for the star.

I made this Peppermint Bark Popcorn recipe. It turned out yummy & pretty when I packaged it up to give away to a few neighbors.
This is Laura's creative Christmas card! I love the personalized sign post with their name on it. The extras like the snowman, the fence & the wreath on the front door are just perfect! Good job Laura!!
This was a simple card idea that I saw at Archiver's. The Happy Holidays words are rub-ons & the candy canes & gems have adhesive on them & are easy to attach. I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but the red, grey & white are shimmer papers.
This is a stamp by AMuse Art Stamps. I don't know if it is offered anymore. This card is from my picture files & I made it several years ago. Black & Tan...
Sorry I haven't been spending much time on the blog so my posts are short & sweet & don't have many details. If you have a question about anything just leave me a comment. Thanks!
Sorry today's post is just a picture of a pretty Christmas candle!

I received this darling little Christmas stamp set by Close to My Heart in the mail from my friend, Val. She is a faithful follower of my blog! The card I made is simple, but cute!
I added a little sparkle to the swirls on the tree!
This stamp is an old favorite. I can't remember the name of the stamp company that makes this stamp but I will look it up & post it later. I used flock on the white part of his stocking cap & I used liquid accents on his glasses.
The North Pole sign stamp is by AMuse Art Stamps. I used a glitter pen & a red marker to color in the sign. I'm not sure who makes the words - sorry! I used a Martha Stewart border punch for the scallop.
Dona made these cards for her upcoming shopping trip to San Diego. She put the Nordstrom logo on the shopping bags because she will be going to a Nordstrom shopping event with 3 friends! She used each gals favorite colors. Aren't these cards perfect for the occasion? The stamp set is called Gifty Girl by My Favorite Things.
Emmybella is by Stamping Bella. I love putting together the brown, blue & red for holiday cards! The trees are by Hero Arts & were stamped, embossed & cut out.

This was a Christmas card that I made last year. The truck is called Fetch the Tree by AMuse Art Stamps. I colored the truck red & made it into a Buckeye Truck! The white portion is done with a Cuttlebug embossing folder called Tiny Bubbles. I thought it sort of looked like snow?!!
