Wow! I just realized this morning that Christmas is a short 23 days away. I haven't put up a decoration yet!!
We will be celebrating Christmas in our new place. I am very excited, especially since we now have a fireplace and a mantel to hang stockings. I wanted to post a few pictures of Christmas cards I made yesterday.
Last year I got a lot of Christmas stamp sets, punches and diecuts. I was overwhelmed when I got all
my new stuff out. So I decided to take one stamp set at a time. I'll come up with gift cards, tags, and other fun paper crafts. I figure this will help me focus more! I also wanted to post some pictures I took of my craft room.
For this card I pulled out some flowers I bought on clearance. They remind me of poinsettias. I embossed
a swirly background with an embossing folder. Love to use these for quick backgrounds. I then die cut a label and stamped a greeting.
My fiance built me shelves which I needed for all my boxes which hold stickers, embellishments, etc.
I found a lot of fabric boxes at the dollar store. They hold and a lot and are sturdy enough for my supplies.
Anyone who scrapbooks or designs cards, knows paper is our biggest supply. I found a cardboard paper holder at Staples and I also got a wooden cabinet from JoAnn's which holds my cricut and sissix machines.
Trying to keep a clear work area is my biggest problem. I start pulling out stamps, glitter, inks, and scissors and I have a real mess in no time.
My creative space is small, very small.

I didn't have a background stamp I liked for this card.. So I used a small snowflake stamp
to create an embossed and unique background. Small white pearls fit perfectly inside each flake.

I die cut a holly branch to start this card. There were small spots for the berries where I added rhinestones.
On the tree card, I again embossed in white. I then added small rhinestones. I found some glitter printed paper which matched so well. I just love when it all comes together!!
