Swag, Swag, and More Swag

 Do you have enough festive swag in your life? If not, you're in the right place 😁

The new Papertrey Ink Into the Blooms: Swag Die is an ab.so.lute. must have for your holiday cards. There are so many little bits that can be combined in endless ways for a beautiful card. I started by just die cutting my heart out - all the holly, all the twigs, all the branches. The more die cuts, the more possibilities! Oh, and the beautiful big bow is a part of the die set, too!

I layered all the swag bits onto a black piece from the Reflections: September Die to help it all pop. The background panel was die cut from a lovely deep red cardstock using the Postage Stamp Frame Post Card Die. All it needed was a very small and simple sentiment, which was heat embossed using the 'Merry Christmas' sentiment from All Around Christmas.

Thanks for joining me all week for my Papertrey Ink Guest Designer Cards! I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to work with these gorgeous stamps and dies!

Dear Santa... Christmas Card

 I'm continuing my Papertrey Ink guest design cards with the gorgeous September release! Today's card is made just for Santa...

When I unwrapped the entire release, this North Pole Mail stamp set is the one that I was immediately drawn to. I love the vintage vibe and the endless mix and match possibilities! First I die cut two peachy pink cardstock panels from the coordinating Candy Cane Frame Post Card Die. On the center panel, I heat embossed in gold the "kindly deliver to Santa" sentiment, and then stamped the written note in black.

The belt might just be my favorite part of the stamp set! I stamped in black ink and then heat embossed the buckle in gold. I also added the mini vintage Santa stamp and the postage image.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you can also tell Santa you've been good this year ;)
