12 Days of Christmas Cards + Giveaway Winners Announced

 Hi Everyone,

It's time for another 12 Days of Christmas Cards. Today is also specials because 3 winners are announced who participated in the 12 Days of Stampin' Giveaways. How fun! First, let's take a look at my Christmas card for today's post.

My card features the Peace and Joy Bundle which is retiring at the end of December. I really like the star burst stamp or snowflake stamp. You decide which it is. 

And now for the fun part. It's time to reward 3 wonderful stamping friends with gifts from my stampin' Giveaway. It won't be going 12 days as planned, but that's okay. 

Ann will receive the upcoming Floating and Fluttering Bundle from the January-June Mini Catalog.

Laurie will receive the Many Messages bundle that is also upcoming in the January-June Mini Catalog.

Cindi will receive the Band Together Bundle from the Annual Catalog. 

Thanks so much for your support. You goodies will be in the mail soon.

Happy Stampin'

12 Mondays of Christmas Cards Week 8 + Sketch Challenge Winner!

 Hi Everyone,

It's a wonderful Monday with another Christmas Card for my 12 Mondays of cards. I'm also sharing the entries for my recent sketch challenge that I posted. Today you will be seeing three Christmas cards instead of one. Oh Happy Day! Participants used the sketch layout as their inspiration.

Debra created this beautiful card showing the special night of our savior's birth. I really like the twine wrapped around with the star.

Tina created this fantastic card. The embossed background really creates a rich texture. I love the plaid DSP and gems. 

And the Winner is....

Bea created this stunning card! It is all a glitter and just awesome. Bea will get receiving a package of the upcoming Dandy Garden Designer Series paper.

12 Mondays of Christmas Cards Week 6 with Brightly Gleaming

 Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my 12 Mondays of Christmas Cards post. It has been so fun to celebrate the road to the holidays with festive cards. Today my project also is for the Paper Player's card sketch challenge. It's prefect because the theme is the holidays.

The Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Paper is just beautiful! I wanted to have minimal stamping on this project, so the DSP was able to be the star. 

The Christmas Gleaming Stamp set and Coordinating Ornament Punch helps to create a beautiful greeting. The ornaments in the stamp set are so intricate and stunning. 

It was fun creating this card for the PP517 Hooray for the Holidays challenge. There are so many wonderful cards to see, so be sure to check them out at the Paper Players blog.
