Christmas Cards on Parade

Today was my "Season's Greetings for Seniors" Charitable event, and I am so excited about all the Christmas cards we'll be able to donate! The Senior Care centers were so excited when I called and asked if I could donate personalized, handmade Christmas cards. Here are the cards we made for the event:

One of the many things I love about all of Stampin' Up!'s publications is the FANTASTIC, EASY (I can do it!), ideas! I CASED (card-making speak for "mostly copied") this card (and a couple more coming up) from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog. Don't have a Mini Catty to call your own? Well, what are you waiting for?? Just EMAIL ME your address, and I'll put yours in the mail for FREE!

Stamps: Four the Holidays (116921), Itty Bitty Backgrounds (114996) Embellishments: Mistletoe Ribbon Originals (116792) Ink: Chocolate Chip Ink (100908) Paper: Merry Moments DSP (115672), Old Olive (100702), Chocolate Chip (102128), Very Vanilla (101650)

Have you seen the NEW ornament punch (116794) in the Holiday Mini?? It coordinates perfectly with the Delightful Decorations stamp set (116517) I used in the card above and below. LOVE it!

This stamp set is one of my favorites in the entire Idea Book & Catalog. It is a Level 2 Christmas Punch Hostess set (115366-FREE! with a qualifying order or workshop of $300+). The Sentiment I used in this card coordinates with the wide oval punch (112082), and the snowflakes are a snap to cut out with the Boho Blossoms punch (110711).

All of the cards today are easy to make in less than 10 minutes, which means they qualify for Sanity Saver status. Keeping your Christmas cards clean and simple is the key to keeping your Christmas card-making Merry and Bright!

Happy Stampin!
