Contemporary Christmas Card Duo

I've had such fun this weekend playing with the Tree Punch and the Ornamental Pine set. Pair all of those ideas and add in a stamping buddy who has been sending me pics of her Tree Punch cards and you end up with a stack of Tree Punch cards! 

The one on the left is very similar to the one I posted here yesterday, only in black & white with a pop of Real Red cardstock thrown in for good measure. The one on the right was inspired by one my good friend Vicki Burk made, only hers was in more traditional colors and used DSP for the tree. I colored the Rhinestone Basics with Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities to embellish the one on the left and the Black & White Bakers Twine adds a bit of interest to the card on the right. 

I just love the way this card looks with the white layer popped up with double Dimensionals.

Coastal Cabana Christmas? Yes, please...

I just love this color! Kind of beachy, somewhat crisp. That Ornamental Pine set just keeps showing up in my Christmas cards. The greeting is from the Good Greetings set that was a promotional set during October, but you could substitute another greeting. 

I simply stamped the pine bough on a smaller piece of the Coastal Cabana cardstock and embossed it with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. That piece was adhered flat to the base piece of Coastal Cabana before the top layer was popped up using double (gasp) Dimensionals. Doubling those up really pumps up the WOW factor of this card. I thought the stamp from the Dotty Angles set went along quite nicely with the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I added the Rhinestone Basics at the very end.

Headed off to try to put my tree up. I know, it should have already been up and completely decorated, but I've been stamping like a crazy fool. I just love this hobby!!
