Time for Lots of Christmas Stamping

_DSC0004

More than a week had passed since I last made anything, and tonight I went upstairs to clean my craft room, pack up all my Fall stamps and papers, and break out my holiday and winter stash. There is no shortage of Christmas stamps or paper in this house - it's my one true addiction in paper crafting. I will never tire of my Christmas stamps! I love them!

Tonight I broke out my Wplus9 sets to make this card. I was inspired by the layout of a card that I made in my class with Shari Carroll and the color inspiration came from a pack of rhinestones that I picked up at Michael's (who is completely sold out of red bling, by the way...it's a bit of a crafty crisis, I think.)

I stamped Background Builders: Knit in Versamark on the pink background, and Folk Art Flurries in PTI's Dark Chocolate on the brown side panel. I used the same ink to stamp the frame from Very Vintage Greetings onto white cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment from Classic Christmas onto the handcut banner. Lastly, I stamped a flurry from the FAF onto the Simple Snowflake diecut in Versamark and added a matching rhinestone. :)

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Did you go shopping and find any deals? I didn't shop much other than to stock up on some Crate Paper, but I am looking forward to Cyber Monday!

Have a great night!
Suzanne

Hi Suzanne ! Your stamped background is gorgeous and looks like printed paper. Love the stamped snowflake too. Such a pretty card. I love the Christmas stamps and paper too. It has been so fun using them all year. I am off to get in my craft room too....time just slips away . Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

Love the colors--that pink is gorgeous with the kraft and chocolate! I don't do Black Friday shopping but did break down and went to Michael's! But I placed two Cyber Monday online orders--to Gymboree for the grandkids--and couldn't pass up WPlus9!!
