For my first card I used the set Twinkle Twinkle - I stamped the shape of a Christmas tree with the cedar stamp using Pistashio Memento Ink; next I added the lights and wires using VersaFine Onyx ink and finished it off with the ornaments. I also used a couple stamps not included in the kit - the little sitting mouse and Merry Christmas sentiment. I added the light halo using a sponge dauber with matching ink. I wish you could see it IRL because then you would also see that the lights are a bit sparklie from the touch of Sparkle irRESISTible Medium I covered them with.
The card background was stamped using snowflakes (White VersaColor ink) and a trio of tiny flowers (in Delicata Golden Glitz).
This is my "country Christmas" card... I used Southern Pine set around the top and bottom edges. The sentiment is from Just From Fun stamps. It's a bit rustic looking which I thought goes perfectly with the pine cones.
Finally I did something a bit different with the Holiday Joy stamp set. I used the leaves, flowers and squiggles combined them with the poinsettia stamp from Pine & Poinsettia set to make my own "poinsettia tree". The barrel stamp is something I had in my stash (sorry, don't recall which set it's from).
The background for this card was stamped with candy canes, stockings and a tiny little gift which is just darling!
This card is a bit different for me as it leaves traditional holiday colors behind and I used Love Letter which has a rose hue, Bahama Blue and Bamboo Leaves green. Not exactly what you think of for Christmas but I think it works.

Anyway, that was my bit of stress relief over the long holiday weekend ;)
All different...all beautiful. Love the Southern Pine.
