Jolly St Nick

This is the cutest, little guy! Valita's Designs and Fresh Folds designed this cutie from a Christmas decoration she purchased. I couldn't wait to make it.  I did do a couple of things a little different, but all in all the basic design is the same. Please check out the link to Valita's blog above to watch her video and get directions. Valita's directions are the best and most thorough.

Leaf Lines Christmas Wreath

This is a 4x4" card made with Old Olive #100702 card stock. The wreath was stamped with the holly from Leaf Lines #114393 around the center hole cut with the 1 1/4" circle punch #119861.  The berries were made with a dab of 2-way glue pen #100425 and Chunky Essentials red glitter #108797.  It is all tied up with a 1 1/4" red grosgrain ribbon #119768.

Greenhouse Gala Series

This series of cards was inspired by one of my idols, Patty Bennett. I visit her blog every day and got a chance to meet her at the recent Stampin Up Convention. I used all the new Stampin Up Colors and new In Colors (see the tags below).
