It's beginning to look...

Like CHRISTMAS!

I've been working on Christmas cards for this year. Here's just a few I created this week. Some were inspired by Pinterest. Others are from my own imagination.

This 1st card was created for a challenge for a group I belong to on FaceBook. We could only use blue and white. Nailed it!

Echo Park Paper Co. - Hello Winter Collection of paper and stickers.

#2 was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest. The teardrops are actually the wings from Stampin' Up! Bird Builder Punch.

#3 Inspired once again by Pinterest.

#4 Was created using the dies from Stampin' Up! Santa's Sleigh and the stamps from Santa's Sleigh. This card opens to the full width of 8 1/2 ".

the middle is open to display a dangling ornament. 

#5 is my own design. Stampin' Up! Stamps Beautiful Season and Dina Wakley Scribbly Birds for the sentiment on cover.

Inside sentiment is from More Merry Messages from Stampin' Up!

#6 Another of my own designs. Decorative vellum is from the Stampin' Up! Holiday catty.

The poinsettia is a sticker.

Sentiment inside from SU More Merry Messages.

#7 Inspired by something I saw from Echo Park Paper Co.

Dies are from Poinsettia & Pine by Jolie from Essentials by Ellen.

Inside sentiment is from SU Versatile Christmas. Lace punch on decorative paper is from Martha Stewart.

Freshly Made #48

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #48 by Tui

Mrs. Frpsty. Isn't she just the cutest?! This stamp started out as just a snowman. But my very artisticly talented frien Nancy Cook added the girl accessories and this is the result. I only colored her with Stampin' Up! markers and stickles. This is a cute sketch and very easy to bling it up or just leave "fresh".

Below is Tui's sketch
