Merry Christmoose with Freshly Made Sketches

Welcome back,

So glad you could join me!  I have a super cute Christmoose, ekem, Christmas card to share with you today.  Yes, it is time for Christmas cards.  lol

I followed along with the sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches.  If you know me, you know I love a good sketch challenge.  Here is theirs..

And here is the card I made.....

I really LOVE how it turned out!  Buffalo Check and a moose - this combination is so Canadian and on trend right now.  

The cardbase is Early Espresso, I stamped Early Espresso using the Buffalo Check onto Cherry Cobbler and added a Crumb Cake strip on the left side. 

I punched a 2 1/4 inch circle in Whisper White and stamped the larger of the tress in Garden Green and the smaller of trees in Old Olive.  I added some Pool Party snow and the greeting in Early Espresso.

My Merry Moose was stamped in Early Espresso onto Crumb Cake.  I then punched him out using the coordinating punch.  Finally, I added a double Linen Thread bow.

If you live in Canada, you will want the bundle!  

Be sure to stop on over at Freshly Made Sketches.

Happy Stampin'

Santa!

Hello there stampers,

I hope you all had a very merry Christmas!  We had a great time celebrating with family and friends.  My family is very lucky because we have 2 weeks off of work and school. So we are really enjoying some quality time.

I have so many more christmas cards I could show you, but I will finish with a super cute Santa card featuring the Signs of Santa stampset and the Buffalo Check Background stamp.

These are two of the most popular stampsets in the holiday catalogue!  The coordinating framelits for the Signs of Santa set were sold out weeks ago, but you can see the stampset is still great to use without them.  My background was created the amazing Buffalo Check Background stamp.  Great news - it will be carried over and will continue to be available!

I coloured Santa using my Stampin' Blends!  They really make my colouring look great!  I also added some Wink of Stella on his pom-pom, beard and mustash.

Here is a group of them that I mailed out to friends and family this year.

Happy stampin'

Christmas Tags!

Happy Friday!

Can you believe Christmas is only 3 days away!  My house is all ready for Christmas, decorations and lights are up, shopping done, handmade cards have been delivered, wrapping.....well getting there.  I just get so excited and this year is no exception.

Today, I wanted to showcase the tags I will be placing on my presents this year.  I have added them to all of the teacher gifts, co-worker gifts, and will add them to some very special gifts under our tree.

My gift tags are a perfect match to the challenge this week over at TGIF Challenges.  Here are the details....

I used the Alpine Sports Thinlits to create this super cute toboggan.  I cut it out twice, the first time in black and then a second out of Wood-grain DSP  I trimmed away the edges so the black rails could be seen and all that was left was the wodden slats of the toboggan. 

I popped it up on mini dimensionals and placed it onto an oval from the Stitched Shapes framelit collection.  I used that all time favourite Buffalo Check Background stamp with Momento Ink on Real Red Cardstock.  I just love the warm feeling of this tag!

The greeting is from the Merry Christmas to All Stampet - another great bundle the Holiday Catalogue has to offer. 

Here are a few of them I submitted to a Gift Tag Exchange I participate in every year.  They were a hit!

Merry Christmas,

Tammy
