Tissue Box Cover
The base of the box is 4 1/2" square to fit a standard tissue box. The top uses oval nestabilities for a clean, sharp cut. I sponged all edges with chocolate chip ink. I had to use the larger size folder for the dry embossing folder because the normal size did not cover the entire paper. The polka dot punches stamp is punched with the scallop punch.

With Heartfelt Sympathy
Christmas: Blue Jay
The Stampin' Up bird punch is quite versatile. Here in Montana, we have blue jays in the winter, so I decided to make our winter bird. I punched the bird and two wings, sponged all around, used one wing for the bird's head, and mounted all pieces on dimensionals. I used two of the branches in green. The branches was taped down, but the leaves were left 3D.

Two Christmas Cards
Both cards used white and red card stock. The tree is dry embossed with Cuttlebug's folder. The be merry stamp is one of my favorite stamps. On the tree card, I punched the sentiment and the scallop out. On the snowflake card, I stamped directly onto the card. Certainly is a different look from the same stamp.

Christmas: Ornament with Swirls
I used Stampin' Up's ornament stamp set and matching punch in the rich Bermuda Bay color scheme. Putting the ornament on dimensionals and adding bling finished the card.
My challenge is to make one Christmas card each week. My daughter says at this rate, I will have 365 cards by next Christmas. I just can't help myself!

Christmas: White Wreath

Christmas: Punched Wreath
The wreath is made from punched flowers. The base was also punched from the scallop punch and the 1 1/4' circle. Each punched flower was cut in half and attached to the base. Even though it was quite time consuming, the end result is worth it. I would not make 25 of these, however!

Christmas: Card to Santa

Thank you for the Baby Shower
We made the cards 3 1/2" by 3 1/2" to fit into our envelopes. Looking for a CAS card, we stamped the thank you, punched it with the word window, and attached it to the punched label. Next, the ribbon was tied. The inside of the card has a stamped "Baby" and plenty of room for Aaron to write.
