Keeping Christmas

 Hello! It's the 25th of the month and that means it's time for the Keeping Christmas Blog Hop. We're  trying to make cards each month so when Christmas comes around we won't have a mad rush to make so many cards at once. I LOVE making Christmas cards all year round.

Sorry I am a bit late today and running out the door.  

The Merry Christmas die is from Poppystamps called :Snow Merry  Christmas , the patterned paper is from Memory box called:Christmas Plaid and the snow drift is from The Greetery :Drifting Die

Parcel and Post Christmas

 Hello! It's the 25th of the month and that means it's time for the Keeping Christmas Blog Hop. We're  trying to make cards each month so when Christmas comes around we won't have a mad rush to make so many cards at once. I LOVE making Christmas cards all year round.

Hello!  Before you know it , it will be time to mail out those Christmas cards! I am happy to say another month has gone by and I got a few more cards and gift tags created.

 I used one of my past favorite : Post & Parcel Kit from Papertrey Ink.

I have an entire kit and decided to use some of the already printed papers that came with the kit. I did some diecuting , glossing accents and adding some glitter.  One the one above I added a bow from The Greetery.

The tags were also created with the kit. Simple die cutting and adhering together. Im sure many of you have the some of the kits as well. Nice time to use them up and get some Christmas cards done.

I pray you have a wonderful weekend! Thanks so much for the visit today. Take care.

Don't forget to see the rest of the Design team.

Keeping Christmas

 Hello! It's the 25th of the month and that means it's time for the Keeping Christmas Blog Hop. We're  trying to make cards each month so when Christmas comes around we won't have a mad rush to make so many cards at once. I LOVE making Christmas cards all year round.

I made three cards each one a little different, I used chunky glitter, the red ink is from Concord & 9th new ink:Cranberry Ink Pad 

I love the way this rubber background  

Windowpane Plaid Background Stamp Stamps and looks! 

 For Christmas, I  couldn't wait to see the watering  can in red, I am sure black would  be beautiful too!

The fires are bad here in California , most of them are to the north of us. Our SIL has been fighting them for over a week now. It's also been crazy hot . Don't know how they can work in this heat.

Praying for all of those affected by the fires.

Thanks for the visit today!

Christmas In July

Hello! It's the 25th of the month and that means it's time for the Keeping Christmas hop. We are trying to make cards each month so when Christmas comes around we won't have a mad rush to make so many cards at once. I LOVE making Christmas cards all year round.

 Kelly Lunceford will be having a give a way on her blog for this hop. 

 I couldn't wait to use my new Concord & 9th inks.  As you can see I kept my card very simple and used red and gray. I was so tempted to add glitter to the rooftops but I refrained . 

Thanks for the visit during these unbelievable times!

I pray for peace for all!

God Bless!

Keeping Christmas

Hello, I hope you are having a happy day!

 I was so busy last month, the time to post just slipped my mind.

I made up for it with seven Christmas cards ready to mail!

This Christmas group is a group of card designers trying to get ahead of making Christmas cards before we get too busy with all the Holiday preparations.

Hopefully we can inspire you to get ahead as well, trust me it feels nice!

I used the Bountiful Wreath stamp and die set from The Greetery!

Its more of a fall stamp set but I think stamped with different shades of green and red it works pretty well. The sentiment is from Poppystamps

The inks I used are all pictured above. I tried many red and I always end up going back to Papertrey Ink Pure Poppy. I also added Glossy Accents to each berry.

Please hop along and be inspired!

Blooming Christmas

 Edited to add another card

Hello! It's the 25th of the month and that means it's time for the Keeping Christmas hop. We are trying to make cards each month so when Christmas comes around we won't have a mad rush to make so many cards at once. I LOVE making Christmas cards all year round.

I was busy stamping and diecutig these beautiful blooms that will be on my Christmas cards. I had so much fun, I will call this happy crafting with an old but favorite set. I love that this stamp has simple layers , it's from Dawn McVey : Papertrey Ink 

I made enough for six cards but never had a chance to go back and photograph them all.  I made a similar card one Christmas using this set you can see Here

 I stamped each one with the Atlenew inks shown above, so juicy, I've had them few years now. 

 One of my favorite Christmas sentiment sets is  this one from Poppystamps  : Christmas time.

I love using glitter especially at Christmas time, I used : Lawn Fawn Chunky Glitter. Hard to capture the glitter in a photo.

I also scored my card with the lines. 

On the card above I used 

:Halfsies Diamond Die from The Greetery.

Thanks so much for the visit and I hope you are all doing well.

Take Care and God bless
