Only one Christmas card today! : )

Here I used the Mini Perfect Layers Tools and cutting mat to border the angle (cut with one of the dies from the Custom Panel Elle-ments set) of the kraft card-stock with red.   I do love Christmas and I love these colors together!

I used the Avery Elle Winter Wreath Clear Stamp Set and Custom Panels Elle-ments for this card. I heat embossed the wreath with white embossing powder. Inked the kraft card with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and spattered it with a little water. Stamped the pinecones and bow on kraft and cut them out by hand. Stamped the sentiments with Espresso Truffle Memento ink, spattered with Dylusions White Linen spray and added red glitter domes for berries.

Here I used the Mini Perfect Layers Tools and cutting mat to mat my stamped white panel with 1/16th inch green.  I love being able to cut a perfect 1/16th inch mat every time!!!

I used the Avery Elle Laurels Clear Stamp set, Laurels Elle-ments, Build a Banner Clear Stamp set, Build a Banner Elle-ments and Petals and Stems Clear Stamp set for this card.

I stamped with Shabby Shutters Distress Ink for the green and Versacolor Pigment inks for the pink flowers.

It’s so fun to be able to die cut the images!  Love how the Elle-ments dies work!

My last card for today. I was inspired by a card I saved from the Avery Elle blog some time ago.  Sorry, I didn’t save the link and there isn’t a name on the photo.  : (   I just had to make it though! It’s perfect for one of our grandson’s.   Our July family birthday party is tonight… so more birthday cards coming soon!

I used the Mini Perfect Layers Tools and cutting mat to mat the white panel with an 1/8th inch border.

I used the Avery Elle Happy Camper Clear Stamp set for the images and the happy birthday is from the Red and Goldie Clear Stamp set. 

I hand cut the images out and colored the mountains and canoe with Copics and stamped with Versacolor Pigment ink. Happy Birthday is embossed with white embossing powder on black card-stock.

  1. Great card with the kraft cardstock I love its softness, yet it is brilliant! And I love the snowcapped green mountains — way too cute!

  2. Wow! What a great way to end this week, so much fantastic eye candy here! Love the rustic look of that first one, and gorgeous stamping on the second, and the cutest scene on the last. Great work!

  3. Your cards are gorgeous Pam! The Christmas card is over-the-top! I love the white embossing with the red glitter domes. So cute with the little pine cones tucked in there. The layout ROCK’s. I will have to try this one.
    Gorgeous pink and green on your flower card. Love the bow!!!
    Awwww….the Happy Camper card is a BIG hit with me! I love animals and the fox in the canoe is so stinkin’ cute. I love everything about this card; the background stamp, the mountains, the fish and water, the sun. Absolutely adoreable!!!

  4. Wow-more beauties!!! I bought the perfect layers-but I am still not the best at using them!! I even bought a new exacto knife!! I know-practice-practice-practice!!!

    1. Hi Rosie! I have some tips for you! Stand up to use them…preferably at a table height. Be sure your knife is a full size x-acto with the #11 blade. Thank you!

  5. I like the Christmas card the best. Khaki and red are my favorite colors to work with after you got me hooked on the combination. Which wonderful grandson is going to get the great mountain scene card ???? Any of them would be happy with it. It is so cute.

  6. Love the country feel to the Christmas card, neat design… pretty stamping on the second and fun and cute card for your grandson… have fun celebrating with family!

  7. All 3 are wonderful & there’s at least one thing I really like on each one, but I think the 2nd one is my most favorite.

  8. Gorgeous cards! I love the layered look, and especially love that great angled cut! The Perfect Layers tools sound awesome…. and I love all the Avery Elle stamps you featured! Their Laurels stamp set is one of my favorites!

  9. You are definitely on a roll! All three of these are just adorable! I never think to use Kraft paper until I see the magnificent things you do with it!

  10. All 3 are gorgeous, but I loved, loved #1. Perfect colors and just what I like to see for Christmas. Great job, though – on all 3. Happy Birthday to the birthday person in your family! TFS & Hugs

  11. Beautiful cards, Pam! The Christmas design against kraft is so striking! Thanks for sharing them with us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge

  12. Fantastic cards. I really love the gorgeous Christmas card. The kraft, red and white look amazing together
