I had so much fun making these cards! I just want to keep going and design more but thought I'd stop here and share these for now. I made three sets of card using the same paper pack for each set. Let's go!

This set of cards was made with the Jingle Joy paper packet, Jingle Joy-Scrapbooking + Thin Cuts stamp set and Garden Gnomes + Thin Cuts stamp set. I started with our White Cards an Envelopes Value Pack for the card bases which makes card making very economical! Inks used were: Raspberry, Evergreen, Flamingo and Intense Black. Glitter Paper, thin 3D Foam Tape, bitty Sparkles and Black Stickles embellishments. to color the gnome I used these TriBlend Marker colors: Ice Grey Blend, Fair Skin, Alpine Green and Bright Pink Shades. 

This set of cards is slimline size of 3" x 6". The card base was made from French Vanilla cardstock, matted with Sapphire CS and topped with paper from the Serenity paper packet. The top card looks a bit washed out because I was trying to make the bottom card brighter. The photo really doesn't do much justice to either, to be honest. Anyway, Stacked Noel is an M size stamp set, inked in Sapphire Pigment and clear embossed. Accents are Gold Foil paper, gold thread and gold rush Stickles. The bottom card is stamped with the Comfort  & Joy-Cardmaking stamp stamp set. Blue Belle and Sapphire inks. The star is an image from the set and then colored in with the Antique Bronze Metallic Marker with a Bitty Sparkle for the center.

This third set was done in a more traditional color scheme of read and greens.  Both cards use our Value Pack bases and envelopes along with the Comfort & Joy paper packet. Inks used: Candy Apple and New England Ivy. Cardstock: White Daisy, Black and Candy Apple. Stamp Sets: Comfort & Joy-Cardmaking + Thin Cuts, Comfort & Joy-Scrapbooking + Thin Cuts. Stickles Carnation Red Pearls added for the corner dots and for the holly.

The card on the right was inspired from a card made by Gail Gross. The scalloped edge was made using a die from our Thin Cut Fancy Borders set. It's lined with some Gold Glitter paper. A journal pen was used for the doodle edges and Gold Glitter Gem for the flower center. Golden Rod Stickles adds some dots around the flower spray.
