Ho Ho Ho Surfin Santa, Who Needs Snow Card

Are you giggling?  I sure hope so, as I know I did when I saw this fun card created by my teammate Kathleen Wilkins.  If you like whimsical then the New So Santa Stamp set in the Holiday Catalog should be right up your alley.  Kathleen paired surfing Santa with the Waterfront Stamp Set and I've got to say she absolutely nailed it.  You know how I love to think outside the box and as a traditional Christmas kinda girl this card does just that. 

The HO!HO!HO! Who needs Snow sentiment is so true, and applies to so many of us across the United States.  I want to thank Kathleen for her adorable card and I hope she has inspired you to think outside of the box as much as she has me today :)

Dashing Deer and Winter Woods Clean & Simple Cards

Oh how I love both the Dashing Deer and the Winter Woods Bundles.  I've used elements from both on today's cards.  Today's post is picture heavy, but I wanted to make sure you could appreciate these cards from all angles.  Shaded Spruce and the Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper were used on the top card and Crumb Cake and the Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper with Copper on the card I created in the video below.

The jumping deer and the pine tree are both cut from the Sparkle Glimmer Paper which adds a beautiful and elegant sparkle to both cards.  I went with the Shaded Spruce Cardstock for the Stitched Circle on the card above and my favorite Copper Foil for the one below.  Keep on scrolling down to watch the how to video and learn how simple these cards are to create.

Winter Woods & Buffalo Check Clean and Simple Card

Teammate Bruce Stripe is my featured creator for today's post.  Using the A-M-A-Z-I-N-G Buffalo Check Stamp.  Bruce created his background layer on a piece of Very Vanilla Card Stock with Cherry Cobbler Ink.  I highly recommend the Stamparatus for the Buffalo Check Background Stamp, as this allows you to stamp multiple times obtaining a very rich result.  He added some texture with a strip of the Striped Burlap Trim, which has the lovely Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla Stripes running down the center.  Keeping with the two tones in his card the base is Cherry Cobbler as is the scalloped oval backing his sentiment which can be found in the Winter Woods Stamp Set also stamped with Cherry Cobbler Ink.  Speaking of the Winter Woods Stamp Set, I'm sure it's on your must have list so make sure and grab the bundle including the In the Woods Framelits and save 10%.

This card just oozes with southern charm and this farm girl loves it.  If you have a super long list for Christmas cards this year this card would be perfect as it will be fast and fabulous.

Measurements:

Card Base - Cherry Cobbler - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"

First Layer - Very Vanilla - 5 1/4" x 4"

Scrap Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla for the sentiment layers

Pleasant Pheasants Happy Harvest Blessings Card

If you're wondering where this beautiful fall wheelbarrow image came from, look no further than the Pleasant Pheasants Stamp Set.  You guys loved the Pheasant Card I created (if you missed it CLICK HERE for the details) and I wanted you to see additional elements of this set.  I received a thank you card from my Teammate France Martin and she had created this watercolor wash background and simply stamped the wheelbarrow on top of it.  I loved it for a fall card and had to put my own spin on it.  I grabbed my Pinewood Planks Dynamic Embossing Folder and used it on my Crumb Cake Layer for some texture, with a lite hand and sponge I brushed across it with Crumb Cake Ink to make the wood grain pop).  I added a strip of Early Espresso topped with Pumpkin Pie Cardstock for a trim piece and stamped the garland of leaves in Early Espresso on it (yes the garland of leaves is also in this set, see it just keeps getting better).

I used my Aqua Painters and my Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso and Old Olive Inks to lay down a watercolor wash on Water Color Paper.  Let it dry, added the wheelbarrow and sentiment with Early Espresso Ink and layered it up on Pumpkin Pie and Early Espresso Cardstock.  Simple as can be and packed with rustic charm at the same time.

Measurements:

Card Base - Early Espresso - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"

First Layer - Crumb Cake - 5 1/4" x 4"

Strip - Early Espresso - 7/8" x 4"

Strip - Pumpkin Pie - 3/4" x 4"

Watercolor Paper - 3 3/4" x 2 1/2"

Pumpkin Pie Layer - 4" x 2 3/4"

Early Espresso Layer - 4 1/8" x 2 7/8"

Inside Layer - Very Vanilla - 5 1/4" x 4"
