A Traditional Season's Greeting

Hi friends!  Question for you - Are you a fan of traditional holiday cards, or do you prefer non-traditional themes?  I absolutely love traditional holiday cards and decorations!  I am  over on the Eyelet Outlet blog today sharing this beautiful traditional Christmas card. 

When I saw the Cardinal (and Female Cardinal) Brads, I knew that I wanted to pair them with some beautiful greenery and cones.  I thought that they would be the perfect embellishment to dress up my card.

I roughed up the edges of my printed paper with a distressing tool, layered it on red cardstock and adhered it to my card base.  I arranged the winter foliage around my circles and then tucked the sentiment tag under the foliage.  I added the Cardinal Brads and then finished up with a metallic red bow and Red Glitter Enamel Dots

I really love the traditional look of this card!  I hope you do too.

Thanks so much for spending a few minutes with me!  

Xoxo, Kim

PPC&F - Catherine Pooler - Pinecone Greetings

  Hello friends!  I am so excited that Catherine Pooler is our sponsor this week over at Passionate Paper Creations and Friends!  This is the second card that I created using her amazing products! 

For today's project, I made a masculine birthday card using the Pinecone Greetings stamps and dies, paired with the Plaid Background stamp.  My dad's birthday is in December, and I thought this would be perfect for a winter birthday.  I love this stamp set, as it is so versatile! 

This was my first-time using Catherine Pooler inks, and I can now understand why people rave about them.  The coverage is amazing, and my images stamped neatly and cleanly without much fuss! 

I hope that you will join us over in the PPC&F Facebook Group!  Catherine Pooler has graciously offered up a generous surprise for our members to use in their shop!  If you aren't a member, all you have to do is click the "Join" button, answer a few questions and you will also be able to take advantage of the surprise! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
