Non-traditional colored Christmas

Not much of a fan of non-traditional colored Christmas cards, I just wanted to try out my Stampin' Up! Snow Blossom punch for the first time. It seems like snowflakes should be in blue tones for some reason. Anyway, just thought I'd post this quickie card I threw together a few weeks ago since I haven't posted lately. It's a busy season for me and I'll create more cards soon, I hope!

Jumbo Eyelet Flower

Love the big, bold new jumbo eyelets by Stampin' Up! I set the eyelet with the Cropodile with ease. No noise and no pounding.

Grateful for new punches

Here I have used three of Stampin' Up's eight new punches, and the new Cropodile--which ROCKS! I used the Photo Corners punch, the 3/16" Corner Rounder Punch, and the Scallop Circle Punch, my favorite. I used the Cropodile to do the dry embossing (on Chocolate Chip Cardstock). The new Cardstock is Sky Blue, paired up with Sage Shadow and Apricot Appeal. I used the a SU clear button and Linen Thread as accents. The stamp sets used are Dotten Autumn and In the Spotlight.
