Here are some close-ups of my creations using PS stamps/dies. 

This card was inspired by a holiday gift bag from Target:)

    I really enjoy all of these cards, especially the ones using the calendars. I don't see that often, but I think it's such a fun look. However, I think my favorite is the CAS one with the gold tree. That sentiment is just so cleverly made that it makes a great focal point to a card, and you added just enough embellishment to enhance it. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas! May this be the year of finally sending Christmas cards! :)

  99. Okay, you created a whole bunch of cute cards! I think you created the most of everyone on this advent calendar hop. That reindeer is so adorable and he's smiling! What does he know that we don't? LOL I also love snowflakes. I have a few snowflake stamps and some snowflake stickers. Someday I am going to do a card with rainbow colored snowflakes. I think snow should be colored but then that's just me.
    The Dec. calendar is so cute and there is that snowflake!
    I love the writing on the Merry Christmas card. My sister used to do calligraphy and this reminds me of that.
    That penguin on the Merry Christmas card is so cute & festive. My nephew loves penguins and he would like that one.
    I love everything that you did and thank you for showing us all of it. I also thank you for giving us the chance to win something. I hope I do!

    ReplyDelete
  100. I really like the snowflake and calendar page. I have seen the calendar stamps and stickers, but never could figure out how to use them. This is very effective. Add a little gem or sequin and you are good to go. Thanks so much. (Mailing becomes an issue for me, too. I would rather spend the money on supplies than stamps!)
