Christmas Cards & Tags Basket

This past Friday, I scrambled to get a basket of cards together.  I had told my mother-in-law earlier in the week that I would donate some cards for the church's Oktober Missions Fest.  However, Thursday night came around and I went to bed early with a terrible headache.  I only had a few hours Friday morning to make this happen!

 

But it happened! Unfortunately, I only finished with 2 minutes to spare.  My husband had the kids in the car already so I had to be super quick with pictures!  I hope you can still see all the details.

Wonderland (trees), White Christmas (card sentiment) & Flurry of Wishes (tag sentiment)

 

 

All Ye Faithful & Kinda Eclectic (starburst) - Festival of Trees (tag sentiment)

This was my favorite card that I made.  Might end up being my Christmas card too!

 

Flurry of Wishes - This was my favorite tag from the basket.

 

  This was a lot of work but I was happy to help!  My basket of cards went for $40 - all for a good cause!  I hope these inspire you.  Time to start making your Christmas cards :)

 

Have a great Monday!

Peaceful Wreath & Wondrous Wreath Wednesday!

Today I want to share with you two cards I made using a different color combo for Christmas colors.  I can't say they're "non-traditional" because they're red and green in a sense, but these colors are not colors I would think of right away to use for Christmas.  Sometimes I'm glad I have a messy craft desk.  These 3 inks were sitting with a few others and I was immediately inspired!

I also wanted to highlight two stamp sets (one from the annual catalog and one from the holiday catalog) that feature the Wonderful Wreath Framelits.  I love the new coordinating stamp set out of the new holiday catalog.  Maybe because it's a Holly wreath? :)

I wanted to keep things simple so the wreath was the focal point, but I also wanted to ink up the white layer.  I took the "Peace" stamp from the sentiment and stamped the word in different shades of Mint Macaron.  Love the look!

The other wreath set is from the annual catalog.  It was in last year's holiday catalog and I'm so glad it carried over!

I hope you enjoyed this different color combo!  Which wreath card do you like better? Leave a comment and let me know - I'd love to hear from you!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
