Express Mail from the North Pole

I love the holidays! Yesterday the boys and I were playing Payday when a neighbor arrived with a plate of homemade goodies. It was such a lovely surprise! And last week the UPS man brought a big basket of Godiva Chocolates. What a wonderfully sweet time of year, don't you think?

Today I have a Reverse Confetti card share using the cutest new North Pole Wishes stamps and Confetti Cuts. Instead of the traditional green and red Christmas colors I opted for pink, aqua and silver.

I love that the North Pole Wishes Confetti cuts allows you to add dimensional envelopes and/or holly to these adorable tags! Adding just a bit more sweetness, I used the little heart sprinkles from the Donut You Know Confetti Cuts to decorate the tiny envelope with. 

Christmas Gift Giving with Bella Blvd.

Hi! Have you visited the Bella Blvd. blog this week? If you have you've been enjoying all the Christmas gift projects my talented teammates have created. My gift-giving project includes a greeting card, star cookie cutter ornament and gift card tote with candy cane stir sticks included. 

There are plenty of adorable Santa Clauses in the Bella Blvd's Christmas Cheer collection to make a theme from. The star ornament is easily made with a cookie cuter wrapped in patterned paper. After the paper is added tie a bow on it and add some jingle bells and a little tag with baker's twine. This kind of ornament doesn't require a hanger since you can just place the star on a tree limb. It's super easy and people love them!

Heartbeats Kit

The cat is out of the bag...I picked Scraptastic Club's Heartbeats kit to work with this month. And I'm in love!  Look at these gorgeous colors! My teammate Nancy B. and I have a challenge for you to use five or more of the awesome stickers in your kit to create a project. Alphabets used for titles and sentiments are considered one sticker. Those of you who make cards might find using this number of stickers a bit more challenging than with larger projects so I created a couple cards for you using seven stickers a piece.

The 'love love love' accent along with the flowers are die cuts...the rest are stickers. I combined them to create a collage. 

I couldn't pass up using this adorable little blue bicycle sticker for my second card.

All the stickers used on this card are combined with a die cut polka dot paper frame and a couple more enamel dots. With stickers this cute, this is a pretty fun and easy challenge!

Magic & Joy of Christmas

Fa la la...I have another Christmas card share for you today using many of my favorite Reverse Confetti stamps and Confetti Cuts. Oh what fun it is to craft on a cold December day! 

What do you think? A little snowfall, garland and a sweet little snowman shall make my brother-in-law's family smile. :) They can use a bit of snow...they live in the Los Angeles area. ;)
