Christmas Card Crunch Time

Well, it's that time of year again.  Although I've been diligently working on Christmas cards all year long, I've come down to crunch time and need to get them finished up.

I recently purchased some stamp sets from Gina K Designs that were designed by Melanie Muenchinger.  There are 3 sets that are designed to use together: Fabulous Frames, Fabulous Frame Fillers, and Fabulous Holiday Fillers. I love these stamps and use them often.  However, I don't quite use them as they were designed.  There is a small learning curve and I'm not quite there. However, I have used them to paper piece cards quite nicely, thank you very much.  Below are some examples of cards I have made with these sets.  


The poinsettia stamp is from The Angel Company, and is also a favorite of mine.  I used up some of my Christmas patterned paper and scraps, which is always a good thing.  The poinsettia is stamped on white cardstock, colored with Spectrum Noir markers and attached with pop dots.

I know, I can't believe I bought more stamps.  Especially when I own a stamp company. But what are you going to do?  I can't be expected to have every single stamp I like.  I just bought myself an early Christmas present, that's all. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I hope you have enjoyed these cards. 

Happy Stamping!

I can't believe these are paper pieced, they look layered! what a cool stamp set! I bet you get a lot more mileage out of your DP this way.
