There is so little time and few spots to share many Christmas cards. I absolutely wanted to use both the Cocktail and Festive friends sets from @teamspellbinders this year, so I thought why not combine them together.

Sharing a couple cards with the @thestamp_market goodies to which I have added some cute nutcrackers for more fun, one from @teamspellbinders and the other from @concordand9th For both cards, I started by inking and stenciling the background panels. I used white cardstock and started by applying Distress oxide Tattered rose on the entire panel. Then, using the Festive garland stencil from The Stamp Market, I blended Old paper and Mowed lawn through the first stencil and Mowed lawn and Vintage photo through the second stencil.

Some naughty boy doesn't seem to be the sharing kind. Who will be brave enough to save those poor gingerbread men? Don't say "Me" if you intend to safeguard them in your stomach! I can't believe I finally got a chance to play with the @teamspellinders Cozy toe slippers, and it was so much fun. I struggled a bit with the design, first of all because, after seeing so many versions of the cozy toe slippers, it was really hard to think of something new. Then, my original plan was to have a 100% die cutting card and if you know my feed, you know die cuts are totally out of my comfort zone and not my go to technique. So I finally decided to mix them with stamped images and I'm happy I did it. I just love how this card turned out.
