Christmas Gift Event - Sound Card

So it is time to start thinking about your Holiday Gift Shopping! I know you might not want to but I promise to do all I can to make it easier on you. The first thing that I am going to do is host a Holiday Gift Making Event. Where you can choose from eight different gifts to make & give to all of your favorite people for the Holidays. Make sure to put yourself on the list too.
Over the next 2 weeks I will be posting pictures of all of my Holiday Gifts here on my blog. Make sure you check back frequently so you can pick all of your favorites. The first one is the new Sound Card out of the Holiday Mini. You can choose from one that plays "We wish you a Merry Christmas" or one that you can program with your own sounds.

The card itself is whisper white. So I decorated the front with always artichoke cardstock. Then took a piece of very vanilla & stamps the words Season's Greeting in Cherry Cobbler. Then stamped 3 of the leaf images in always artichoke ink. The leaf & the words are from the Peaceful Seasons level 2 stamp set out of the Holiday Mini. This stamp set is only available until January 4th. Contact me today to find out how you can get one for FREE. Then behind the very vanilla cardstock is a strip of the new Stampin' Up material called Deck the Halls. The button is laced with linen thread then glued onto the card with 2 mini glue dots.

Here is a side view of the card so you can see the sound card itself. This card will be available for $7.50 each & will come with one of Stampin' Up's padded envelopes.
Be on the lookout for other great gifts.

Continuing with the Christmas Theme

Here are the next two cards that I promised you using the Peaceful Seasons Level 2 Hostess Set.

The first card is made similar to yesterday's cards. The images are from the Peaceful Seasons stamp set but this time I used the Season's Greetings words & the hollyberry leaves. The cardstock base is always artichoke & the images are stamped on very vanilla. The material in these cards is the Deck the Halls material in the Holiday mini. The buttons are matching buttons from the mini.

In this card I used cherry cobbler as the base, didn't tear the cardstock & choose buttons that stuck out more. This card is my second runner up to the similar one yesterday. I am having a hard time picking my favorite. The funny thing is that usually I like torn cards & this time neither of my favorites are the torn cards. Go figure. : ) My problem is really that I can pick between the glass glitter & the buttons. I love love love them both. All comments would be appreciated. One of them has to be the winner.
I hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday. We are unfortunetly headed out of town for a family funeral. So I probably will not have any posts for the next couple of days since I will have limited access to the internet. But look towards the middle of the week when I will post cards from a Card for Every Season.

It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Ok well not Christmas yet but fall is definitely upon us here in the Midwest. Warm days & cool nights. Sometimes cool days & cool nights. You just never know what you are going to get. Definitely fall in our house. After a great football game last night we are on our way to a marching band competition about an hour away that all 3 of our older kids are participating in. But in our house I have been getting to work on everything that I have going stampin' wise through the end of the year. Make sure you get signed up for all of you favorites as soon as possible. Coming up next Saturday is our group "A Card for Every Season". Look for pictures of some of those cards coming toward the end of this next week. Then the next event that I am hosting is the Owl 101 punch class on October 24th. Where we will be making 16 - 3" x 3" cards all with a different theme focused around using the new Owl 2 step punch. If you are not signed up yet for this class...hurry up...the deadline is October 12th. Then on November 6th I will be hosting my yearly Christmas Card Event. That brings us to today's pictures.

Both of these cards are made with 2 images from the Peaceful Seasons Level 2 Hostess Set. This first one is garden green cardstock as the base. With part of the candy cane christmas material used to look like ribbon. Then the words are stamped in real red & the earth ornaments in garden green.

This card is made using the same images but the real red cardstock is used as the base. I stamped the images in the same colors but I didn't tear the cardstock at the bottom. Then I added silver glass glitter along the bottom after I glued the material on the back. This card so far is my favorite. Tomorrow I will post two more cards using different images out of the Peaceful Seasons stamp set with different colored cardstock and different accessories. Let me know which one or ones are your favorite. One of these great cards will be 1 of my designs for my Christmas Card Event.
