While I still had Color Me Christmas out on my desk, I thought I’d try something different with the present stamp and the new Thinlit Label die.  (133479)  It didn’t turn out exactly has I saw it in my mind – but you get the idea!  I love the greeting and sentiment from Christmas Messages ( 131790/ 131793).  Using the Stamp a Ma Jig, I stamped presents across the bottom.  Did you know that the label framelit in the Thinlit set works with the Label Framelit set in the big catalog?  It is perfect for layering!

Next time I’ll try to line it up so that I don’t have a half package showing when the card is folded – but for now, this is it

There is a cute kit on page 32 of the Holiday Mini (132161) called Real Red Goodie Gear and it’s a good one! The kit contains tags, stickers, banners, cello bags and baker’s twine – fast, easy and very affordable for little gifts or treats.  The colors are Real Red and Bermuda Bay. 

I made a sleigh with my Eclips  (Santa’s Villages/ SVGcuts) to hold a few of the treats.  The “Merry” is the Expressions Thinlit (page 36 #132171.) Quick tip – when using the Thinlits, place a piece of waxed paper between the card stock and the die and it easily releases.  Hugs, Fran

Four You saved my swap last week   I had die cut all the pieces for a swap at my team meeting when I suddenly realized that the HI in the set wouldn’t die cut.  I didn’t really have time to start over – so I started scanning my shelves in search for a set that would fit on the label and convey the same feeling.  I embossed the Hello in white – and it was ready to go.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Four You
Card stock – Whisper White, So Saffron, Real Red, Pool Party, I Am Me DSP
Ink – Versamark
Etc – White Embossing Powder, small heart punch, Real Red Ribbon, staple, Label Thinlit

My new Thinlits are on their way here – but in the meantime, I have this card.  Hugs, Fran

Here’s a new Label Thinlit card using Festive Flurries and Winter Frost Specialty paper to create a card.  I cased this design from one Shelli did on stage – but changed a few things to work with the supplies I had on hand.  The sentiment is Merry Little Christmas embossed in silver.

Something you should know about these Thinlit cards is that they can not handle heavy embellishments in the center of the card.  I originally used a snowflake Frosted Embellishment in the center of the snowflake and it was so heavy the card kept falling over!  Light and east with these  

Stamp sets – Merry Little Christmas, Festive Flurry
card stock – Shimmery White, Whisper White, Winter Frost DSP, Silver Glimmer
Ink – Versamark, Coastal Cabana
Etc – Thinlits Label die, silver embossing powder, Northern Flurry embossing folder, rhinestones. Adorning Accents Edgelit, Silver ribbon

Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

This is a cute little Christmas set called Color Me Christmas.  It will be available August 1st and has 5 little Christmas images.  I chose the reindeer for this card because he’s so handsome   I used a new Thinlit die called Circle Label which will also be available on the 1st.  It cuts a flip card and a few other pieces to decorate.  Unfortunately I’m having a problem with a few of the pieces so I hope to get that resolved today. 

Mr Reindeer’s suit is paperpieced over the watercoloring I did.  His nose is a pearl colored with a Sharpie.  This Designer Series paper is the new Season of Style.  I actually did the chevron with the little Thinlit in the set – but it could also be done with the Chevron Border punch. 


Some Washi tape and a few sentiments finish it off – oh! and a jingle bell tied to the top!
