Christmas Cards

The first card is for today's challenge to use polka dots I made a simple card using Delightful Decorations ornaments in Real Red and Not Quite Navy. Branch is Lovely As A Tree in artichoke with gold embossed cord and berries from Berry Christmas. Sentiment from Sincere Salutations.

The second card is today's technique challenge to make a plaid background on a solid silhouette stamp, I also added some kissed flowers to the cardinal. All supplies on this card are Mark's Finest Papers and the set Tweet Blessings comes out in mid-August.

Delightful Decorations

I clear embossed the Tres Chic background on the Bravo Burgundy, backed with Kraft and ornaments (Delightful Decorations) and sentiment (Winter Post) are on the Very Vanilla. Poinsettia behind sentiment was made with 5 petal flower punch and Dazzling Diamonds. All supplies are Stampin' Up.

Delightful Decorations TAGS

These tags are super simple to make and even mass produce with this wonderful ornament punch.
Start with a strip of Whisper White cardstock 3 3/4 x 11" and then fold in half so you have one long strip.
Line your ornament punch up so that the top of the punch is near to the top but not at the very edge. If it is too close to the edge, you won't get the fold, you will just get two ornament pieces.
For the stamping I inked up the stamp and then carefully laid the cardstock piece over it and rubbed the ink onto it. You can use your bone folder for more even coverage. When I tried stamping it the traditional way it was much harder to get it lined up.
This one strip will make 6 tags. I punched a small hole at the top and used some white crochet thread for the tag ties. I also used the To: From: sentiment from Winter Post.
