Be Merry

I took today's stamping challenge and made a few changes to fit the stamps that I used. The ornaments just didn't quite work well within a circle and my snowman certainly couldn't take a rectangle. Of course the colors don't usually go with the holidays but I think they work well together. I am anxious to hear what you think.

Another Early Christmas Card

I told you how much I like this new Christmas ornament stamp set. So, on this Monday morning stamp challenge I am using it again. I think I'm just trying out all these cards to decide which one I'll really use for holiday cards. Today's card displays a few more accessories and tools but continues to be an easily assembled card.

An Early Christmas Card

As you can see, today's cards deal with Christmas. It is never too early to begin planning the cards that you need to make for the holidays. I just received this set as it is a new set, Delightful Decorations, available as of September 1st. Isn't it beautiful. And the best part is that I didn't have to cut them out individually. There is a new punch that does it for me. It will make finishing cards so much faster and easier.

You probably also noticed that I used traditional colors on one card but with the other one I experimented with some of the In-Colors that Stampin'Up! has to offer this year. Actually, I think I like the non-traditional look the best. Let me know what you think.
