Its early, I know, but it is time for me to start planning and making cards for the holidays. I started playing with a few products that I have been wanting to work with and created some cards that I’ll show at some of the holiday craft fairs in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used paper from the Close to my Heart (now Stampin Up) Oh, Deer collection which was released in 2016. For some reason I’ve purchased a whole stack and the 16 cards I made didn’t even scratch the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I paired it with some Spellbinders dies that were released a couple years ago, and Tim Holtz Holiday Greenery dies which I thought complemented really well.<\/p>\n<\/div>

For this set I used a set of Spellbinders Dies which were released years ago, not sure when. The series included Santa, a snowman, a reindeer, and an elf. I haven’t been able to find the elf to complete the collection so I have just the three. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paper used is an older Cosmo Cricket Chalk Holidays. The banner stamp is from Stampin Up and the snowflake embossing folder is from Darice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is the collection of cards created for your inspiration.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
