Christmas Cards and Tags on St. Patrick's Day???!!!!

I just love being able to pull out all my favorite retired stamps and accessories!  It is my mission this year to be prepared with Christmas Cards and Gift Tags!  If you'd like to get on the bandwagon, My Christmas Card/Tag Class is the 3rd Thursday of every month until October, starting at 6pm.  Call or email me to register.  Cost is $10.

I love this old Stampin' Up! set "Snow Play".  I found these old snowflake transparency sheets Stampin' Up! sold a couple of years ago in the holiday mini.  That was my starting point for this card.  We used watercolor pencils and the blender pen to color this cute snow angel...:).  I also used the new glass glitter in baja breeze.  The glitter and the buttons are currently available in the Occasions Mini Catalogue.  Available until April 30th.

Hard to tell from the picture, but this is the inside of the above card.  It was another fun fold called the "Gate Fold".

For this card, it was all about incorporating the gold waffle paper Stampin' Up! introduced last fall in the Holiday Mini.  What goes great with gold?  Cherry Cobbler of course.  All the rest just came together.  Very classic looking card.

Here is the inside of the above card using the flourish stamp from the Sale-A-Bration set "Bliss" ~ Love it!

Christmas Tag #1 ~ Wanted to keep them simple as they get ripped off and thrown away anyway.  Here we used Sahara Sand sponged with Chocolate Chip and Silver Heat Embossing on Rich Razzleberry...(another favorite color!)

This tag has it all!  It's cute and glittery.  It's using pre-glittered paper from last year's holiday mini and the current Punch Pals stamp set.  We popped up the trees, snowman and sentiment.
