Unity and Penny Black Christmas cards

Just wanted to share a few quick Christmas cards and a gift tag I made this week. I stopped by the not so local  "Anchor Paper" in St. Paul when I was working in that neighborhood and picked up some much needed stamping goodies. Lots of distress ink refills (the only place I can get them locally) , a few new stamps, and some Penny Black stickers.

First up here is a really quick card using a Unity stamp. I also finally cracked open my Tim Holtz embossing folders I got at Scrapfest....and dug out my little stash of bakers twine from last year. Kept is very simple using kraft, red, and chocolate brown.



Here is my super quick card using one of the Penny Black stickers. I remember buying some of these last year and using them on a few last  minute Christmas cards.....they are great when you are in a hurry and don't have the time to color in an image. Got out my Stampin Up embossing folder and found a green card base that is a "white core" so I could sand off the top layer a bit.



And finally just a sweet little gift tag that I will be using for my son's Christmas present. We are finally going to get hime a Wii game set and this tag will work perfect for that. I found the die cut tags at a local shop in Stillwater MN that just opened up- they had tons of prefolded card bases and envelopes in many colors and even had a great selection of May Arts ribbon- wohooo! No stamps unfortunately....but I urged the gals working there that they really ought to get some stamps for sale soon....especially my favorite line- Hero Arts!



I used my Hero Arts flourish background and the sentiment stamp is by Stampin Up. I thought I would use up some of these cute Jolee's stickers as well since they were just sitting here......love how they are all glittery and kind of look like little frosted cookies. That's it for now.....hope to get a few more Christmas cards done over this coming weekend.

Thanks for stopping by!
