Christmas Tidings

Can you believe Christmas is right around the corner?

Again, it has come way too fast and I'm not prepared! Nothing new here. :-)
I hope you all are better prepared, have your Christmas lists written and have most of your shopping already done. I just finished designing my Christmas card....now have many to make. Wish me luck!

The Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog has some beautiful stamp sets and paper for the holidays.
One of my favorite stamp sets is "Good Tidings." I paired it with "Labels of Love" and "Sheet Music." Hope the outcome inspires you with your Christmas cards. :-)
I also made some 3x3 cards with it to add to Christmas gifts.

Have fun stamping!

Coffee = Happiness!


Coffee......manna from heaven! :-)
With my love for coffee, you know I had to have this stamp set! 

Strong espresso is my drink of choice, and Starbucks meets that bill for me, so this card was done in the colors associated with them. You, of course, can use any color combos you'd like and it would work out great! I'd love to see what you come up with!  

I used "Coffee Cafe" stamp set and "Merry Cafe" stamp set.
The little coffee cups and coffee pot were cut from the "Coffee Break" DSP.
Use your crimper to create the texture shown at bottom of the card.

Have fun creating your coffee cards!

~Happy Stamping!
