Happy Holidays! and Boxing Week Sale

To everyone to celebrates Christmas, I hope you had a wonderful holiday! If you celebrate one or more of the other Winter holidays, my wish is that you also had a lovely holiday celebration with family and friends. No matter what holiday you celebrate, I hope the weather did not impact your celebration too much.

I am writing share a couple of cards with you and to tell you about the Close To My Heart Boxing week sale that begins at 12am MST (2am EST on December 26).

I created this Christmas card with the December 2022 Stamp of the Month Forest Critters.

The sentiment is from one of the Craft with Heart™ Cardmaking subscription stamp sets. As you can see, I did a lot of masking on the card. I thought peaceful forest scene with a pine bough border would be lovely as a holiday card, even though the scene does not include snow.

I also created a similar masculine birthday card with Forest Critters.

Again, I used sentiment stamps from one of the previous Craft with Heart™ Cardmaking subscription stamp sets and masking. I also fussy cut a bunny and added it and the sentiment with 3-D Foam Tape.

On both cards I stamped most images with Intense Black (Z4189) ink, though I did stamp of grass with Pine (Z6540). I dry colored with the Watercolor Pencils (Z3630). I stamped the pine boughs around the edge of the first card, but layered the second card on a layer of Mist (X6069) cardstock. Both sentiments were stamped in Mist  (Z6539) ink on Seabrook (X6068) cardstock.

The December 2022 Stamp Of The Month is available in orders placed until midnight MST December 31, 2022. If you place a qualifying order during the Boxing Week sale, you can purchase the SOTM for only $5 or you can get it for free if you are a VIP and did not qualify for a free SOTM earlier in December.
