Two Quick and Simple Cards

Good morning!  I have two more of my last minute cards to share with you.  These were quick and simple to make - I was running out of time as always!

I have used the Fireplace with Stockings stamp from the So Jolly Under the Mistletoe Collection, painted with Distress Inks as always.  It is difficult to see on the photo as it was such a dull day, but I have added Stardust Stickles to the holly garland.  The sentiment is from the recent Merry Little Santa Collection.

A scattering of gems and the card is finished! 

My second card was made with Maja Design papers and Magnolia sentiment stamps.

I have created icicles along the top of the paper using Aleene's Glitter Snow.  I've also used it to create the snowflakes.

I have used sentiment stamps from the So Jolly Under the Mistletoe collection, stamped in brown and blue to match the papers.  The bells and twine are from my stash.

I hope you like them and thanks for looking!

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Good morning!  Another last minute card to show you today, again featuring Maja Design papers and Magnolia Doohickey dies!

The image inside the house is the gorgeous fireplace stamp from the Dashing Through The Snow stamp set.  I have placed it behind some acetate that I have scored with a diamond pattern to look like a leaded window.

I have used the So Wrapped Merry Christmas Doohickey die for the tags and a snowflake Doohickey.  The gold hearts on the top of the lace are the offcuts from the Heart Background Doohickey.

Once again I have used the shutter die from the Flower and Window Shutter Doohickey set, and I have added Aleene's Glitter snow to the window sill.  The sentiment is from the Merry Little Santa stamp set by Magnolia.

The cute snowman is also a Doohickey die!

 I hope you like it and thanks for looking! x

Christmas Drum

Good afternoon!  I almost forgot to share the box style Christmas card I made for my son.  I created the outside from gold and metallic red card so that it resembled a drum.  I then added twine and half pearls to complete the look.

On the top I have added mistletoe, holly and pine fronds, all made with Magnolia Doohickey dies.  The sentiment is from the Merry Little Santa Collection and the tag is a Doohickey die too.  

The Seam binding and santa hat charm are from Craft Heaven.

When you lift the drum a pile of presents and a stocking is revealed.  All cut with Doohickey dies from Maja Design papers.  The candy cane is a Doohickey die from Vintage Box 6, the stocking from Volume 2 and the presents were cut with the Pixi Box die.

I used the trim from the bottom of two of the Maja Design papers to create the sides around the presents.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Merry Little Santa

Good morning!  Today I'd like to share a Christmas card with you using the Merry Little Santa from the Magnolia Christmas pop up box and Maja Design papers.  I am so behind with my Christmas cards this year!  I will be blogging quite a few in the coming days!

I have painted Merry Little Santa with Distress Inks using the no lines technique and added white dots to her cheeks and eyes with a white gel pen.  I have also added Stardust Stickles to the bauble.  I have stamped around the edges of Tilda with the music score stamp that comes in the set.

I just love this new sentiment that came with them too!  The Merry Christmas was trimmed from the bottom of the Maja paper and I have used the Magnolia heart background Doohickey to create the gold hearts.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!
