Hi

It’s Christmas Eve and one thing is for sure, either today or tomorrow I will be watching “Elf”. Its one of my favorite movies for the holiday season and it still makes me laugh out loud! If you have Netflix, I encourage you to watch the documentary on Elf that is running now. It will make you love the movie even more!

The star of the card is the sentiment from the Christmas Means More set. If you love this saying, you will love the others in the set as they are all from famous holiday m movies. But don’t delay! This set retires January 4th!

I used the Heartwarming Hugs paper, one of my absolute faves from the Holiday Mini Catalog. And I am so happy to say this paper will be carried over to next year.

What I Used To Make This Card

What’s Not To Love About January’s Paper Pumpkin?

How cute does this look? What you are seeing is a sneak peek of the “add-on” kit for the January Paper Pumpkin. The kit contains enough supplies to create 8 cards – 4 each of 2 designs and coordinating envelopes. I am guessing its all about Valentine’s Day! And the “add-on” kit contains what you see in the picture!  You will get 20 die cut mini boxes with 24 die cut labels and sentiment labels. Perfect for Valentine’s gift giving! The “Add On” kit will go on sale January 1st and is $8 for the add on while supplies last! To learn more or subscribe, just go to www.OrderFromSusan.com

Here’s an dainty little old-fashioned look using the much loved Toile Tidings DSP. This darling set is on sale now in the Year End Clearance at Stampin’ Up! But it while supplies last until January 4th when it will go into permanent retirement! The Pine Tree punch is retiring too and it has been one of my best loved punches. I love it for making tags and cute little trees like you see in the card.

I layered several designs from Toile Tidings DSP just to give the card a more vintage look. I tried just adding the punched trees to the card without a layer, but the trees just did not stand out. I also tried a solid color oval behind them, but that ruined the vintage look. I finally came up with the idea of punching out a coordinating card stock, cutting the punched tree in half and then layering with a narrow bit of card stock showing. It was the perfect solution! I did not like a space at the top, so I punched another tree and just cut off the tip for my tree top. I gave the tree in the middle a bow and the trees were done!

I had wanted to do something that looked like a great big Gingerbread House using the Heartwarming Hugs DSP. I tried a lot of different ideas, but in all my “fails” with that idea, I came up with this sassy little card using Cherish the Season. Its a long way from where I started trying to make a Gingerbread House, but I really love how it came out.

The DSP layered perfectly and the Ornate Layer Die cut was the perfect piece to layer the die cut bells on. To add a bit of bling, I used Red Rhinestones as the berries. It added just the right amount of holiday sparkle. For a little bit more sass, I tied a bit of the 3/8″ Real Red Sheer Ribbon to the bell tops.

And because the theme at Global Design Project is Holiday-Winter this wee, I decided to enter this card. See all the other terrific projects at #GDP271 by clicking the image below:
