Oh my, you know what tomorrow is? Christmas Eve and I am so excited for our trip to San Francisco and donating a bag of toys this year at Lefty O'Douls. I am hoping they have snow again this year, always a fun treat downtown.
I have 2 cards to share and they are for a few challenges and 1 of them are new to me and could not resist playing along and getting a few more Christmas cards made too. My first card is for Curtain Call - Candy Cane and Colour Me #51 - Merry.
My second card is for Time Out and Craft Stamper. I am using some NBUS, this fabulous Christmas tree stamp is just amazing and thanks to Joyce for twisting my arm to order it and I love it embossed in white, so pretty. Thank you so much for taking time to stop by...enjoy your week and Merry Christmas!

ReplyDeleteWhat great cards Kim, the tree is a stunner and the little bells so perfect for Xmas. Thanks for joining Time Out x
ReplyDeleteLove both of these, Kim. That tree looks stunning embossed in white against the black and I love the little bells. Great to see you at Time Out :) Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI love your angles on the border of your peppermint card and perfect layering to show off that gorgeous tree stamp!
ReplyDeleteThese are both wonderful. I love your cozy hot cocoa with peppermint sticks--making me hungry right this minute. And, that last card is just stunning. See, I try to get you to buy stamps I have so I could then CASE whatever you make. Pretty diabolical, right? Merry Merry, my friend.
ReplyDeleteLove both cards, especially the first one with the hot cocoa! So adorable!
ReplyDeleteTotal peppermint sweetness!! Love your cards!! MERRY CHRISTMAS Kim!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNicely done! Thanks for joining us at the Take It Make It Challenge.
ReplyDeleteHow delicious, Kim ... hot chocolate with a candy cane swizzle stick ... yum! Gorgeous tree ... it glows so beautifully embossed in white against the black ... and I just love those sweet jingle bells! Wishing you and yours a blessed and Merry Christmas, my friend! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun duo of cards. Adore the first one with candy canes and the chalkboard Xmas tree on the festive is so fun. Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed festive season and a 2015 filled with tons of love and joy.

lovely cards!
ReplyDeleteThat really is a neat stamp & I love both your cards, Kim! Merry, merry Christmas to you & your family!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Kim!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you!
Thanks for you inspiring support through the year! It means so much to me!
Both very pretty cards! Thank you for entering the white on black card to the Craft Stamper's challenge where my stamp company is the sponsor this month! :-)
ReplyDeleteFinally a chance to get back on the computer in between swimming with the kids and eating mountains of chocolate!!! I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas and it didn't get too cold. Both of these cards are fabulous as usual. I really like how you die cut the mug in kraft cs, makes it look so real. And the tree stamp embossed in white on black is stunning and elegant. Always so happy when you can join us at TIME OUT too!! By the way, my idea for the chipboard jar project was a disaster for Christmas BUT....its Mum's birthday on the 17th Jan and have a new idea to try, so will send you some photos when its finished. And I hope you have a happy and healthy 2015!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards! I love the angled pieces in the border on the first and love how striking that white embossing is on the second!
