Greetings of the SEASON

Hello everyone! Today I'd like to share the card and goodie bag that I made for my folks at work. I was inspired by the card that my sister-in-law and I made for Josh's teachers this year. I had to lay out the cards like this because I added a little extra something to each card.

I'm not sure if you can see it because these pictures didn't quite capture the blingness, but I added some Dazzling Details (124117). I used a retired SU stamp set that required some two-step stamping and then followed the swirliness of the Christmas tree with Dazzling Details. It was so much fun!!

I used some Silver Glimmer Paper (124005) and punched out a star using the star punch from the Merry Minis Punch Pack (126882) and added it to the top of the Christmas tree. The "Greetings of the SEASON" sentiment is from the Greetings of the Season stamp set (Clear 128033, Wood 128030).

And here are the goodie bags that I handed out with each card. I went simple and put a packet of hot chocolate with marshmallows and a peppermint candy cane in a baggy and topped it off with this topper that I made using the Top Note Bigz Die (113463). And last minute, I added a tag on each goodie bag but I forgot to take a picture of it.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day :)

HEARTFELT

Hey everyone. Here is another card that we got to make in Niki's class last week. Check out Niki's card here. This card was also inspired by the Stampin' Up! Legacy Room. I love the look of this card! I love the antique feel and that background stamp. I think I need to bump up the En Français background stamp (109521) a little higher on my wish list ;)

And that HEARTFELT stamp is so lovely, isn't it? It's from the new Layered Labels stamp set (Clear 127072, Wood 127070). Another great thing about that stamp set is that it also coordinates with the new Apothecary Accents Framelits (127003), Large Oval punch (119855) and 1" Circle punch (119868). I just love how SU has stamp sets that coordinate with Big Shot products and punches. Amazes me all the time :)

And of course, I love the butterflies on this card. But then again, I just love butterflies :) We used the new Elegant Butterfly punch (127526) and the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die (114507). And to give it that extra little something, we add some Dazzling Details (124117) on the edges of the bigger butterfly. We also got to use a Large Pearl Basic Jewel (125577). Those are so much fun!

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by :)
