Swap card

I made this card for a swap with my fellow Stray Ducklings (a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators in the area.) I must say, I'm very happy with the result :) The theme of the swap was Washi tape. The red strip at the top under the gold bakers twine (part of the Baker's Twine Trio Pack) is washi tape from the Warmth & Cheer Washi pack. 

Every Christmas season, I like to make at least one card that uses a tea light. There's just something festive about that for me. This is just a simple tent card in Old Olive cardstock. I stamped the trees with the Peaceful Pines stamp set then cut all of them out using the Perfect Pines Framelits Dies.

I stamped the Seasons Greetings like it was hanging from the Washi tap.  

Both sentiments are from the  Seasonal Bells Stamp Set. 

The center tree is made using shipping tape and Dazzling Diamonds then backing both with Vellum. 

And here it is all lit up. :) 

I really enjoyed making these cards for our swap. I sincerely hope the recipients enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them :)

Gingerbread Cookie

Looky here, we have a cute Gingerbread Man fresh out of the oven. Why, he's still cooling on the cookie sheet! I just love this Cookie Cutter Christmas set!

The card base is Crumb Cake. It's layered with Real Red and Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper (DSP). The cookie sheet was made with our Foil Sheets and scored with the Stampin' Trimmer. The 'Tis the Season sentiment is from the Peaceful Pines Stamp Set. The gingerbread man is stamped and punched from the Cookie Cutter Christmas Bundle.

The peppermints are stamped from the Candy Cane Lane Christmas stamp set.

This is the first card from my Stamp-A-Stack class last week. I'll be sharing others in the days to come. Do you live in Central Illinois? If so, I'd love to have you join us for a class. We have tons of fun :)
