Celebrate December with Elle's Studio | The Twelve Cards of Christmas

Hello there all! Suz here with you today. I was so excited to be invited back by Elle and Jenni to take part in this fun and inspiring holiday celebration here at Elle's Studio!

Today I am sharing with you "The Twelve Cards of Christmas." They range from clean + simple to a bit more involved but totally doable!

Below is the collection. Many of the cards have added stitching, texture, and dimension along with the fabulous exclusive Elle's Studio wood veneers, stamps, patterned paper and tags!

                

For the card below, I used a circle cutter and a circle punch to create the window and a pop dot to the "joy" circle for added dimension within the card. The little snowflakes (starbursts) were made with a mini punch.

On the card below, I took a card from the monthly kit and used a circle cutter to cut out a circle window to place that fabulous wood veneer ornament in. I added the baker's twine and some pop dots to give the 3x4 card more dimension and showcase the ornament. Then I used the "fa la la" exclusive stamp for the sentiment on a smaller flag tag.

 I added a little bling to this one along with some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Marshmallow. Love the subtle sheen it provides to the card. The "warmest wishes" is an exclusive Elle's Studio stamp.

The simple card below was made with a star punch. The inside reads, "The stars are brightly shining. --

Wishing you a holiday season filled with sparkle and the love of Jesus."

And there ya have it! Twelve different designs to help inspire you & to help you get your holiday card making off to a great jump start!

Jen Hadfield Home + Made Collection

Hi all! Stopping by to share a card I created using the awesome and versatile new line by Jen Hadfield/ Pebbles available now in the @comeongetcrafty shop while supplies last here.

I love this line so much and have created several other cards using it. They can be seen over on the Come On Get Crafty blog here: http://comeongetcrafty.com/blogs/craftiness/15330665-new-in-the-shop-product-showcase-jen-hadfield-pebbles

Back to scrapping a few more assignments. Happy Humpday!

@ChicTags March 2014 Pocket Page Scrapbooking Kit -Available Now!

Sorry that I have been a bit missing from my blog the past few days. My Mac was out of commission as was/is my scrap space while we had the carpet ripped out and had new woodgrain porcelain ceramic tile installed in the space the past two days. We got much accomplished, however, I am at the bare essentials right now while we get the space back in order.

Meanwhile, as we were up to our knees (or in this case down on our knees helping with the tiling) in mortar dust, the Chic Tags March Kit became available for sale here!!

It is another fabulous month with bright pops of color along with some pastels too. The exclusive stamps are cute and practical and the exclusive wood veneer patterned numbers are fabulous! I just got my kit this week and can't wait to share what I create with the kit here in the near future.

In the meantime, enjoy these kit  images below and hop on over to Chic Tags to order your exclusive March kit *while supplies last!

See? Aren't these polka dot patterned exclusive wood veneers fabulous?!! :)

Be back as soon as possible with more scrappiness!
