This Christmas card was totally inspired by Laura Milligan’s beautiful Founder’s Circle swap card. I’ve had this vintage postcard stamp in my stash for years, but I don’t remember ever using it before. The little vintage hot air balloon image from the Postage Collection set fit nicely inside the postage stamp outline. I cut the washi tape in half to decorate the bottom of the card, reminiscent of a strip of bar coding attached to postcards by the USPS.

So close to the deadline, but at least I got a few cards made for this month’s Waltzingmouse Stamps pajama party!
For the first challenge, I got my inspiration from Laura Bassen’s Joy Card on Day 3 of the Holiday Card Workshop 2013 online card class. I still need a lot more practice with my plaid-stamping!
Stamps: Bountiful Baskets Additions, Off Beat Backgrounds (Waltzingmouse Stamps)
Paper: Pure Luxury Crème de Menthe, Lemon Drop, Rocket Red, White (Gina K. Designs)
Ink: VersaFine Onyx Black, Memento Rhubarb Stalk, Lady Bug, Cantaloupe, Bamboo Leaves, New Sprout (Tsukineko)
Accessories: Big Shot, Tasteful Trim Bigz Die, Many Thanks Sizzlits Die (SU!); Sticker Maker (Xyron)
For the second challenge, I made “his” and “hers” Christmas tree cards, à la Kelly Rasmussen on Day 5 of the Holiday Card Workshop 2013 online card class. On the masculine card I used the Zig Zag Backgrounder for the tree and a star cut out of a fabric sticker. Both cards have the same sentiment banner, on which I used the chalkboard technique.
Stamps: Zig Zag Backgrounder, Compliments of the Season (Waltzingmouse Stamps)
Paper: Crumb Cake, Basic Black (SU!); Pure Luxury White (Gina K. Designs)
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Whisper White Craft, VersaMark (SU!)

The feminine card has a Dainty Doilies Christmas tree and a star cut out of silver glimmer paper. I wish I had stamped the inner circle perfectly, but I didn’t have time to start over and still meet the deadline!

Today I wanted to create a 3-1/4″ x 6″ card, so I adapted this week’s Mojo Monday sketch to fit my needs. At first, my sentiment was stamped on a white mini bookplate die. That just looked too stark, so I distressed it with Tattered Rose ink. I don’t know if you can see that the black panel was dry embossed with the Square Lattice embossing folder, but it was!
