Sleigh Bells Ring

Happy Christmas Eve, Eve!! Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes!! I appreciate it so much!! Are you all ready for Christmas?? It's coming, whether I'm ready or not :/ I'm sorry I've neglected my blog the last few weeks. I do have a few Christmas cards to share with you today :)

I couldn't let Christmas go by without using my favorite Sizzix 3D Flip Album die :) The base is heavyweight kraft cardstock from The Paper Studio. The rest of the papers are from My Mind's Eye.

There are the Tim Holtz Carolers again (I told you I there would be more projects to come :) All of the stamps used are from various TH stamp sets. The music is from Mini Holidays #2, the reindeer is from Mini Holidays #1 and the starburst is from Mini Holidays #4.

Joy is a TH die, cut inside a Spellbinders Labels 1 die. The tree is a TH Snow Tree die, and it was covered with Enamel Accents on the edges and Rock Candy Stickles inside.

Santa is from the Mini Holidays #1 set. The snowflakes are from TH's Holiday Joy Framelets. The banner is a Spellbiners Banner die. Believe and the sentiment are from My Craft Spot's Joy Filled Christmas set.

Here's a shot of it all folded out.

For this card, I used a Spellbinders M-Bossibilities 3D Floral Labels 4 embossing folder. Once it was embossed, the raised parts were sanded to bring out the texture. The sentiment is on a Spellbinders Labels 4 die, inked with TH Pine Needles Distress Ink. The sentiment is from TH's Mini Holidays #5 set. The crinkle ribbon was inked with Pine Needles Distress Ink. Merry Christmas and the holly leaves are from the TH Mini Holidays #4 set.

The base and layers of this card were created with Spellbinders Card Creator Basics A & B dies. The top layer was embossed with a snowflake embossing folder and sanded. The back line of trees is a TH Tree Line die. It's hard to tell, but the green paper was inked with Donna Salazar Mix'd Media ink in Jasmine to make it look like it's dusted with snow. The tall tree is a TH Snow tree die. It was inked with Jasmine and TH Walnut Distress ink on the base. The banner is a Spellbinders die, and the sentiment is from My Craft Spot's Joy Filled Christmas stamp set.

The deer is from TH's Holiday Joy Framelets. It was embossed with gold embossing powder.

Trees from TH's Reindeer Flight stamp set were stamped inside, along with the sentiment from My Craft Spot's Joy Filled Christmas.

I needed some gift card holders, so I used TH's Pocket Envelope die to create them. The paper is from My Mind's Eye. I hand cut the tree and sleigh from the paper and attached them with foam tape for dimension. The banner is a Spellbinders Ribbon Banner die, inked with Festive Berries and stamped with Merry Christmas from My Craft Spot's Joy Filled Christmas set.
