Christmas Place Cards

Its tradition at my parents house to have place cards at Christmas time.  There aren't that many of us, but it was something that my niece started several years ago.  The ones that we had been using were getting old, so we decided to make some new ones.  Here are the ones that we made:

I used:

• Neat & Tangled Christmas Pageant stamps and dies
• Neat & Tangled Elf and Their Shelf stamps and dies
• Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers
• Wink of Stella - Clear
• Sizzix Letter Dies

To make these cards, the images were stamped, and then colored with the Zig Clean Color brushes.  The images were cut out using the matching dies.  Letters for all of the names were cut using the Sizzix dies.  Red, Green and Blue card stock was cut, and the images added to complete the place cards.

Here are some close-ups:

Another Northwoods Snowman

Here is another cute Snowmanfrom Northwoods Rubber Stamps.  I did three of them, and  had originally planned on using these Snowmenon a different card, but the design didn't work.  But these Sonowmen just had to be used!  Here are the cards I made with them:

And a couple of close ups:

To make these cards, I used:

• Northwoods Rubber Stamps - Snowman With Presents, Scarf and Broom
• Faber Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils
• Darice Embossing Folder 
• Neat & Tangled - Christmas Pageant
• Lawn Fawn - Perfectly Plaid Christmas Paper Pad
• Simon Says Stamp - Stitched Circles Die

To make the cards, I stamped the images on white card stock, and colored them with the colored pencils.  These were then cut out using the Stitched Circles dies.  I then embossed another piece of white card stock, and added it to the card base.  A solid color (either red or green) was cut and added to the white.  Then squares cut from the plaid paper were cut and added.  The circle was added and the sentiment (from the Neat & Tangled) was added to complete the card.
