Die cut Christmas card

I used pattern paper as a background to showcase this Penny Black die. It is colored with Copic markers and I added a simple sentiment. Glossy accents were added to the red berries for shine. I only have a few more cards to make for Christmas. Nothing like waiting till the last minute. The pattern paper saved me this year. I am thinking it will be a good idea to play along with the Christmas challenges throughout next year!.

Oh my deer

You have seen me use this deer before but something about it draws it to me every year. Here are two cards using the deer head from Poppy Stamps and using, surprise, pattern paper as background. The first one is die cut with gold mirror paper and the second deer is die cut with gray paper to go along with the pattern paper.

Not quite done

The title says it all, I'm not quite done with pattern paper. This card is done with Alexandra Renke paper. She has the most beautiful papers and it is hard to cut them up. All you need is a greeting and it's done. My local stamp store carries her papers and I'm in love every time I go in the store. I'm so glad I went before Christmas and they had her paper in already. 

Keep wearing your masks and be safe.

Trees

I am so pleased to be using pattern paper for my cards. Since I waited so long to get started it has been such a help but beyond that I'm using up my stash. This beautiful paper is Kaisercraft  and I just die cut trees from gold mirror paper. I added some gold twine also from my stash. When you have gorgeous paper you have to give it the love it deserves.

Candy cane for you

I haven't gotten any candy canes this year since I don't go to the grocery store in person. (Both are good things). I thought this would be a good way to share some candy instead.  The candy cane is a Poppy Stamps die cut in white card stock and layered over red card stock. I mounted that panel on plaid paper from a LDRS 6x6 paper pack called Christmas Cottage. The dies I used to cut the panels are from Gina Marie.

Time for Christmas cards

I'm so late this year starting my Christmas cards so there is a chance they will be late. I'm working really hard to make them but still have to rest my hands. The pain has gone into my wrists now but not like carpal tunnel. If I rest it goes away.

In keeping with using my pattern paper (which I'm happy to say I have been doing) this is a paper with the trees and teeny birds. I added the die cut trees in silver glitter paper and little die cut red birds. The sentiment is SU embossed in Wow black twinkle glitter.

A special birthday today

I want to wish my friend, Susan a very Happy Birthday today. This is a round number birthday so, of course, it is special just as she is. Loll of https://www.stampingwithloll is having a linky party for Susan if you would like to send Susan birthday wishes.

My card is made with Stampin Up products and I'm linking it up at the party. Happy Birthday, Susan.
