Whimsical Christmas

When I received my  package of Clearly Besotted goodies for the blog hop, I got a tad bit carried away in creating. There are so many great stamps and I didn’t want to leave any of them out!  Instead of bombarding you with all sorts of pictures in the blog hop post, I decided to break up my creations and do a few blog posts.  You saw the red/ green cards already, so today I’m featuring the pink/ green ones!

Quite a few people associate my name or blog with THIS sequin shaker card tutorial, and I love that. I wanted to bring you another sequin shaker featuring the cute trees from Modern Christmas. How cute are those trees?! I love the different patterns that Amy created for these trees! I had a hard time deciding which ones to use, but in the end I chose the music notes and polka dot trees.

To add even more Christmas spirit to the card, I used the Sheet Music Embossing Folder. I love the subtle texture it brings and makes the card even a little more whimsical. Also, it ties together the music notes from the pink tree!

The next card is a little more graphic and clean, but equally just as festive. I featured Holiday Sentiments for this card and paired lots of the stamps in this versatile set. I totally love this decorative bracket!

For the branch/ holly leaves/ berries, I did a little bit of masking to get the bottom portion of this card. Imagine how gorgeous it would look in a green and red combination. I’m thinking I need to try this out in the near future….

It’s now time to announce the winner of the Set the Scene for my Clearly Besotted Stamps Blog Hop post.  Here’s the lucky winner:

Joan Smith said…. “Oh my goodness girl you have such an imagination along with designing your awesome and unbelievable window scene I simply can’t believe that you did this with a stamp set. You have left me in awe. Now you little train scene is so adorable and your coloring skills once again are amazing. Gosh you are one talented, clever and creative gal.”

Joan, I will send you an email to get your shipping information so Stephanie can mail out your set. You’re going to have so much fun playing with it!

I hope you were inspired by these Christmas cards featuring the fabulous new Clearly Besotted Stamps sets. Remember, these next few months are going to fly by….I’ll be creating more Christmas cards in the near future and will scatter them in among other cards. I hope you don’t mind!
