Brown paper packages tied up with string...

I love the stamp set Winter Post but I love it even more now that Stampin' Up! has the Christmas Punch stamp set (Level Two Hostess set) which contains the Santa postage stamp.

I was inspired to make this card by Deborah Maden.

I love the idea of brown paper packages wrapped up in string, so thought I would make my card resemble that and cheer it up with the new Christmas Cocoa Specialty designer paper #116770 from the Holiday Mini.

Recipe:

Stamps: Winter Post, Heard from the Heart, Christmas Punch

Paper: Soft Suede, Real Red, Very Vanilla, Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP

Ink: Soft Suede, Real Red

Embellishments: Top Note Die, Big Shot, Hemp Twine, Scallop Square Punch

Flurries

Well it is a slushy morning here in the
"Banana Belt". We were fortunate and missed the storm; we did get rain & snow last night and so buses are running as usual. I must say it was very pretty when the huge snowflakes were gently falling last night.
Every morning I have coffee with so many stamping/blog friends and while ready Kimberly's blog I knew I had to case her card. This card is so simple and so pretty. The snowflake and Ski Slope Designer paper is from the Holiday Mini which you can still order from up until January 18, 2009.
Recipe:
Stamps: Heard from the Heart, Polka Dot BG
Paper: Kraft, Whisper White, Ski Slope DP
Ink: Chocolate Chip,
Assessories: Felt Flurries, Gemstone Brad, Scallop Punch

Just a reminder, today is the last day to order from Stampin' Up! Holiday Bundle Sale.
