This little 4 x 4 tag has Rudolph throwing snowballs.  I stamped the image twice and punch a Window punch between his hands on one image.  Then I layered an embossed circle on a penny and made a spinner.  It slides between his two hands

Supplies
Stamp Set – Color Me Christmas
Card stock – Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White
Stampin Write Markers – Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive
Ink – Pool Party
Etc – Northern Flurry embossing folder, 7/8″ circle punch, Window punch

These spinners are very addicting!  You can find me rolling it back and forth in my office – Hugs, Fran

Here’s an easy Flip card with Santa staring as the main guy for the season.  I used the Santa from Color Me Christmas, colored him with Stampin Write Markers and punched him out for the circle center of this Thinlit set.  The HO 3 is from A Banner Christmas.  But the Chevrons are the chevron punch – there are chevrons in the set;  I just wanted to see the difference using the punch.  They are much bigger! 

The sentiment is a single stamp that coordinates with the photo cards in the Holiday Mini.  And since I didn’t mention it last time – the chevrons have a piece of Real Red behind them.  (Thanks, Leeca!) 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Color Me Christmas, A Banner Christmas, Be Very Merry
Card stock – Whisper White, Real Red, Silver Glimmer
Ink – Real Red, Jet Black Stazon
Stampin Write Markers – Real Red, Blush Blossom
Etc – Circle Thinlit flip die, 1 3/4 and 1 1/4 punch, Chevron punch, Dazzling Details (on the candy cane!)

Have a great day!  Hugs, Fran

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

Oh what fun indeed!  This card is a floating floor card cased from Karen Burniston’s video. 

The greeting on the front is from Christmas Messages and is layered on a glittered oval with an ornament punch top.  It’s 2 pieces but the glitter paper really makes it look like one piece. 

And here’s Santa and Rudolph (Color Me Christmas) decorating trees.  There clothes are paper pieced to give them some extra “umph.” 

From the side you can see how the floor looks. 

Rudolph’s nose is a pearl colored with a sharpie marker.

Here’s another card using the Circle Thinlits (133480
) and Color Me Christmas.  This is simple paper piecing.  I stamped the tree on 3 different pieces of Season of Style Designer Series paper (132340) and cut one layer of the tree from each.  Then I just layered them over the image.  I also used Wishing You ( 131748) to add some little packages to the corner. 


The Regal Candy Dots fit perfectly on the tree – just follow the image!  Very easy – Very Cute!

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Color Me Christmas, Wishing You
card stock – Old Olive, Whisper White, Season of Style DSP
Ink – Jet Black Stazon, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler

So I’m showing Christmas cards and it’s hot and humid here today.  Wishful thinking   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!
