I stamped out 3 of the images I liked the most in the stamp set and started coloring all 3 at the same time, I thought I would do batches of 3 at a time coloring, hoping it would go faster that way, and I only had room on my desk for 3 at a time, well as you can see, I tried 3 different greens that I had for the background and was never happy with any of them. Using the snow on the one card I just wasn't sure about it so I used glitter on the other two, it took me 2 days of my cardmaking time to get these 3 done, at this rate it was going to take me forever.

What a charm you always share, darling Connie, and when I think that what you share is all handmade, well, they're all artworks, really!

You've created some very different looks for this stamp and I like all of them! I sure understand about cards taking way too much time when ideas don't work out as planned and you keep trying to fix it. Happens to me all the time. The gold embossing on designer paper is a brilliant idea. You've given me an idea for some quick cards. Now to see if it works out or if I spend three days trying to get it right... sigh...
All cards are beautiful but the fourth is my favorite(Jingle bell),so pretty!!
What a beautiful stamp! I really like the one embossed on music paper with Jingle Bless above it - so pretty!
Wow, Connie! I love love love the different ways you have used this stamp! They are all amazing. I certainly am partial to that pale taupe ribbon - and you've tied it so beautifully with the little tags. The embossed cards are lovely, as well! I always forget about my designer papers, and am trying hard to remember to use them. Beautiful creations, Connie! hugs, de
Connie, beautiful! I especially like the embossed ones. You chose the perfect shade of ribbon for each one. I think I need that magazine now! :-)
