Cute Kitty!

Isn't this a cute little kitty, all wrapped up! This is another one of my new Whimsy Stamps that I bought for myself! I love their new Christmas images! This kitty is just perfect for paper piecing. I used a green dotted Christmas paper for the box and some sparkly gold paper for the bow. I love all the sparkle! The designer paper is from a DCWV pack from JoAnn's. The card base is also from JoAnn's. I used my Stampin' Up! punches for the greeting. The saying 'for you' is also a Whimsy Stamp.

I love still being able to work on holiday cards for next year! Keeps Christmas alive all year long for me!

Happy Stampin!

N'ice Friends

Isn't this the cutetest little snowman? I just love all snowman images and had to have this one from Whimsy Stamps. He is called N'ice Friends and was designed by Crissy Armstrong.

The card turned out to be 5.5 x 6 inches and uses Stampin' Up! designer paper called Christmas Cocoa. I love this paper!! I cut the snowflakes using my Cricut. The cute snowman is colored in using my SU markers and then outlined with my glitter pen. The snowflakes also have glitter. It is very sparkly!

I am excited to say that while my Christmas supplies are out I will be working on starting my holiday cards for next year! My Christmas Card Challenge that I participate in on Splitcoaststampers has me making 10 cards a month so that I will have a whole box full of cards come Thanksgiving time next year all ready to go! I think I may be making 10 of this design card for my January cards since I have everything out and this is so fast and easy to do.

Happy Stampin!

I used their adorable Whimsy Turtle stamp along with a stamp set from Close to my Heart called Tropical Christmas. How cute is this turtle wearing a Santa Hat? And I love the palm tree all decked out for Christmas! Someday, when I live in FL, I will have a palm tree with lights on it in my yard!
