Bright Baubles in Traditional and Non-Traditional Colors

Oh, BOY! Did I have fun stamping this card right here. I might need to make a few more…it was so fun decorating this funky tree.

Over the next week or so – and in the PDF download for those that purchase the SOA box (um, hello over 40 projects!!!) – you’ll see lots of other ways to use the Holiday Baubles Stamp Set…totally versatile and fun to use!

In the video, I’ll show you a few more samples using this set and other uses of the little baubles.

The Holiday Flourishes and and Snowy Sayings stamp sets, also from this collection, worked well with this card for the greeting and the background!

I’m not sure what I like more on this card! Those darling little ornaments, the pretty greeting with the gold stars or the green-on-green diamond pattern background!

Beautiful, festive cards Catherine!! I absolutely love how you used this stamp set with all the layers of little ornaments. I would love if someone sent me either one of these cards for Christmas.

They are both so cute that I can’t decide which one I look most. I guess I’ll just have to case them both.

So cute! Love these cards! Can’t wait to get started on my cards for Christmas!

This is so much fun – like waiting for Christmas morning.

Love love love all the creative goodness i have seen so far. Can’t wait for the 15th. Thanks for all the sneak peeks. Both cards are adorable, but i think i like the traditional colors a tiny bit more.

I love them all!! They are all so very pretty and beautiful that I can’t pick between them!!
Kerry Lowe October 12, 2015, 6:34 am
All gorgeous – think i like the non-traditional covers best – maybe because I live in Australia and summer colours seem to be appropriate at Christmas time!

Loved all four of your cards, usually I can pick a fave, but really . . . those all rocked! It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

I like traditional, but the blue one is so pretty! It reminds me of a snowy/wintery scene!
Barbara Green October 12, 2015, 1:27 pm
Being a Christmas lover it is really easy to fall in love with all these cards you have done.
I wish I could have signed up for the SOA but unfortunately not. Keep up the good work.
Looking forward to you blog hop on Wednesday, will make sure I check it out.

What cute stamp sets & dies. I love both of your cards.
Suzanne T October 13, 2015, 1:41 pm
What a cute tree. I liked the way you incorporated the colors, and by using these colors, you made the tree pop out of the card. Love, love, love it.
Carol Hardie October 13, 2015, 2:04 pm
Adorable !! I’m leaning towards the non-traditional color scheme because that’s my personal favorite choice when it comes to creating Christmas Cards. However, the traditional is just as beautiful. This set has endless possibilities for sure. Thank you for sharing your creativity.

Kimberly Martin October 13, 2015, 10:22 pm
Love these stamps…can’t wait for the sale.

This set is so adorable…the tree I can see for many uses … I can stamp “hang” eggs for Easter, hearts for Valentine, mini dollars to tell my teen that money don’t grow on trees, doing the four seasons…I have to go to work but I don’t know how to shut off my brain. Yikes!

Love this non traditional tree. I’m going to have a hard time deciding which cards to make for Christmas this year.
Jennifer Delauter-Hovermale October 14, 2015, 12:07 am
Very beautiful!! I already have several other ideas for how to use these!
Teresa Cherka October 14, 2015, 1:28 am
What fabulous cards, I love this stamp. So many possibilities.
Jill October 14, 2015, 10:44 pm
