Can you name the famous movie where this saying came from????

• Begin with a Cherry Cobbler card base 5 ½ x 8 ½”. Score in landscape position at 4 ¼”.
• Layer a piece of 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Whisper White to the card base.
• Cut a piece of Cherry Cobbler that measures 1 ¾ x 4 and a 1 ½ x 4” piece of the Classic Christmas Designer Series paper with a Shaded Spruce design and layer together.
• Adhere the designer strip on the left side of the card leaving a small showing of the Whisper White cardstock.
• Stamp the saying on Whisper White using Shaded Spruce ink and cut it out using the Layering Circle dies. Color in the bells with Real Red blends. Then cut another scalloped square from Shaded Spruce cardstock and layer together.
• Adhere the squares to the designer strip, placing it at a slight angle. 
• Cut out some bells in Shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler using the Sounds of the Season dies (inventory is very low on this item) and arrange the bells on your card adhering them with some mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Hey all, here is another card that I would like to share from my dear and long time friend Cherie Masters! So blessed that you moved closer to me and we can craft together more often……just like old times, though we are not old! LOL

Cherie made this card using the Joy of Sharing All Inclusive Kit, which is on Sale for $24.50 while supplies last!

Today’s card is all about the Holly and features the Gleaming Christmas stamp set. Since I seem to gravitate to the ornaments in this set, I thought it was time for a little holly! If you like this set, hurry and order as the inventory is very low.

• Begin with a Very Vanilla card base 5 ½ x 8 ½”. Score in landscape position at 4 ¼”.
• Layer a piece of 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Cherry Cobbler to the card base.
• Cut a 3 ¾ x 5” piece of Very Vanilla and layer onto the Cherry Cobbler.
• Using the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine and the Layering Circle Dies, cut a Cherry Cobbler scalloped circle. 
• Stamp a greeting, I chose Merry Christmas, in Cherry Cobbler ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and cut out using an oval from the Stitched Oval Shapes.
• From the Christmas Gleaming Designer Series Paper, cut a piece that measures 1 ¾ x 3 ¾” and adhere across the Very Vanilla layer. Layer the Cherry Cobbler circle and the oval with the greeting to the designer series strip.
• Stamp the holly several times and color with the leaves Old Olive Light and Dark blends and the holly with the Real Red blends.
• Fussy cut the holly leaves.  If you use our Paper Snips, this job will take no time at all.
• Punch a few Mossy Meadow sprigs using the Sprig Punch and layer with the holly around the greeting and the Cherry Cobbler accent circle.  I used some Stampin’ Dimensionals on a few of the holly leaves to give it a bit more dimension.
• Once the card is assembled, stamp a few snow accents in Cherry Cobbler ink.

Before you leave today, here is another amazing Christmas card I received from a fellow stamper and wonderful friends, Sarah Condit. Sarah, thanks for sharing your stamping creativity with us!

You might not be able to tell from the picture, but the ornament is actually made to be 3D and detachable, I think!

At least that is what I did and it is now hanging on my tree. Thanks Sarah! You are so creative. Here is a picture of the ornament on my tree.

And speaking of creative ornaments, here is one from my good friend Laura Rossmann who is very artsy and talented in ways far beyond me!

Laura made this ornament from some Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper. I hope these projects inspire you. Enjoy!

I love all the decorations that are going up in my neighborhood. It gets me in the mood to wrap Christmas gifts, so I was thinking why not make a Christmas present card.

Today’s card features the Gift Wrapped Bundle, which includes the Gift Bow Builder Punch.

• Begin with a Crumb Cake card base 5 ½ x 8 ½”.
• Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to dry emboss a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Real Red cardstock with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder and adhere to the card front.
• Cut two pieces of red striped paper from the Playful Pets Designer Series pack- ¾ x 5¼”, ¾ x 4” and adhere them to the red panel to form the look of a wrapped present.   
• Stamp the bow stamp of your choice in Real Red ink onto Whisper White cardstock and cut out with the Gift Bow Builder punch. Adhere to the paper ribbon with some Mini Stamin’ Dimensionals.
• Stamp the A Very Merry Christmas greeting in Real Red ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and cut out with the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I hope this cards inspires you to get out that wrapping paper.

But before you go, here is a real treat! I received this Christmas card from one of my team members, Mary Steinau. Isn’t it beautiful! Thanks Mary for sharing your talent with all of us.

It looks like Mary used some of the Feels Like Frost Designer Series paper and some Silver Foil sheets to cut out the snowflakes from the Snowflake Wishes Bundle. I love the added snowflake splendor ribbon and the way she heat embossed the tag with silver embossing powder. Very festive!!!

I hope you will stop back by tomorrow for some more crafting fun! Who knows maybe I will get lucky and receive another Christmas card to share with you.
