Carols of Christmas!
I have already gotten so much use out of the Carols of Christmas stamp set and dies. The Card Builder framelits make it so easy to create beautiful cards.  Use an embossing folder to give the trees some character and dimension. Emboss the greeting in gold, pop the deer up with a mini dimensional or two and voila!  

Supplies: Whisper White, Real Red, and Old Olive card stock; Soft Suede Classic ink pad; VersaMark pad; Gold Emboss Powder; Carols of Christmas stamp set; Card Front Builder Thinlits; Garden Trellis Embossing Folder.

Stampin' Up! Jar of Tulips

Jar of Tulips Tulips are one of my favorite Spring flowers.  I couldn't resist this cute Hostess Exclusive stamp set.  It's so much fun when you use the window sheet to look like glass.  Add some Wink of Stella to the flowers and you have a Wow card! 

Supplies: Berry Burst, Garden Green Whisper White card stock; Berry Burst, Garden Green Classic Stampin pad; Basic Black Archival Stampin ink: Soft Sky Stampin' Write Markers; Window Sheets; Tranquil Tulips stamp set; Jar of Love stamp set; Everyday Jars Framelits.
