So, as you can tell, I'm now into the final stretch of Christmas cards/Christmas gifts...

Here's a card that was just commissioned this morning for a gift that needs to be given tomorrow...

Materials
Paper: Neenah - Solar White, misc. Bazzill cardstock

Cutting/Embossing: Taylored Expressions - Birch Tree cutting plate, MFT - snowbank die, PTI - corresponding In the Meadow Dies
Misc.: Copic markers, Stardust stickles, dimensional adhesive, red jewel embellishment

And here's the final card/card gift set for my final Secret Santa gift tomorrow... 

Materials
Paper: Neenah - Solar White
Stamps/Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black, Cottage Ivy, and Bamboo, Stampin' Up - Whisper White; TH Distress Inks - Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, and Broken China, Lawn Fawn - Let it Snow and Winter Fox
Misc.: Copic markers, Zig Wink of Stella clear glitter pen, dimensional adhesive

Hurray!

I finished all the cards, so now back to some more sedate, but more fun Christmas cards. This card was actually inspired by a card that I saw on Pinterest recently. Link HERE. I really liked the idea of using the reverse of the die cut with patterned paper behind it, and I just so happened to be given this particular die very recently, and it was the perfect size. All of my other snowflake dies are pretty small.

Here are the details:
Paper: Neenah - Solar white, unknown patterned paper
Stamps/Inks: Memento - Rhubarb Stalk, SSS - Merry Everything
Cutting/Embossing: Memory Box - Tivoli Snowflake
Misc.: Dimensional adhesive, pearl embellishment 

Quick and easy

Luckily, after Scrapfest, I stamped and colored a bunch of this particular Northwoods Rubber Stamps stamped image, and with a little dressy background paper, I'm back in business... 20 more cards to go before Saturday!

No time for details - leave me a comment if you want to know what they are!

And some knitting (which was completed before the card crisis)...

Pattern: Cranberry Sauce
Yarn: DIC Groovy, absolute magenta
Needles: 9 and 10 1/2

Pattern: Knotted Cable Hat
Yarn: DIC Groovy, blue lagoon
Needles: 7

Christmas Card Crunch

I just discovered that I am seriously short Christmas cards this year. What happened???
So, I had some previously colored images, and I whipped up some extremely simple cards. Here is a sampling...

And, some last minute holiday knitting.
