Vintage Christmas Card

PAPER: Early  Espresso, Crumb Cake and Letters to Santa Designer Series (pg. 186 catty)
ACCESSORIES: Early Espresso, Old Olive and White craft ink, Snow Burst Emb. folder, Silver Glimmer paper, Very Vanilla Velvet ribbon, Silver Glimmer Brad, Cupcake punch (ornaments on tree) and  sponge daubers.

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy stamping and Happy Friday!!! Annette

Merry Christmas Lodge

Here is another card creation using the Christmas Lodge stamp set.  I stamped the tree in Early Espresso and used my sponge dauber to add Garden Green ink.  I then punch some 1/4" circles out using my Red Glimmer paper and added them to the tree.  ( I used my Cupcake Builder punch for the circles).  Then I ran my tree thru my Big Shot using my Square Lattice folder.  Easy, peasy.  Just enough "bling" on this to easily mass produce. : )


RECIPE:
STAMPS:Christmas Lodge 
PAPER: Frostwood Lodge designer series, Red Glimmer, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green card stock.
ACCESSORIES: Square Lattice, Petals-a-Plenty Emb. Folders, Eyelet Border Punch, Cupcake Builder punch, Early Espresso Taffeta ribbon and Dimensionals.

Simple Christmas Lodge

I have to confess that this card is actually made as a result of "leftovers".  I had the cabin cut out in the oval shape, matted onto the Early Espresso piece, and then I ended up using a different cabin layout and set this one to the side.  After finishing up the card I was working on,  I decided that this oval cabin needed a home, and a simple card using leftover supplies would do the trick.  As you can see, I forgot to put a sentiment on it...oops! Will add one later. : )


RECIPE:
STAMPS: Christmas Lodge (pg.29 of the Holiday mini)
PAPER: Early Espresso, Cherry  Cobbler, Whisper White and Frostwood Lodge designer series (pg. 28 of mini)
ACCESSORIES: Early Espresso ink, Square Lattice and Snow Burst  Emb. folder, Scallop Edge Border punch, Cherry  Cobbler Seam binding, Tombo glue pen, Dazzling Diamonds glitter and 5/16" brads.

Hope you like it!  Annette

I have also been busy with the HOLIDAY STOCKING Die.  Fun, fun, fun!  But in the mean time, I wanted to share this cute card I made for Thanksgiving.
