My husband and I put up our tree last Thursday. Followed our now 3 year tradition to trek to the good olde Canadian Tire across the road from work and picked out a beautiful Fraser Fir for our living room!
While we were trimming the tree I came across these snowflakes that I bought about 10 years ago. They did have a rosette and some glittery ribbon on them but I have to agree with my husband they were hideous! So I pried off the hot glued hideousness and glammed them up with some ribbon, Jingle Bells and a little ivy! All with the help of some Glue Dots.

Here's a tip to make things a little smoother: I have a stack of Very Vanilla and Whisper White Top Notes pre cut and ready for any card! Mostly I used these for the inside of my cards but they're great on the card front too! I keep these stacks in one clear mount stamp case. You can fit 2 big stacks of pre cut top notes to last a long time, or one stamp camp, which ever comes first!

So this card started with just a top note and the Christmas Lodge stamp set. The trees are stamped along the bottom, a few of them are stamped off on a scrap piece of paper first to get the lighter trees to give the card some dimension. To finish the top note, the greeting is embossed in black.

Supplies
Stamps: Christmas Lodge
Ink: Versamark, Certainly Celery
Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Certainly Celery
Accessories: Crumb Cake Taffeta Ribbon, Black Embossing Powder, Stampin' Dimensionals, Big Shot, Top Note Die

A nice and simple Christmas card! After stamping the tree and greeting images on a piece of Whisper White card stock it's crumbled and stressed, then one corner is curled over. The piece of First Edition Designer Series Paper is put behind the main image.

Well this card turned out a little different than what I was going for and at first I did not like it but I think it's growing on me! The snowflakes on the background were stamped with Soft Suede with the little kids stamped in Early Espresso. To get the right angled cuts for the two strips I used the square punch on an angle.

Ink: Soft Suede, Old Olive, Early Espresso, Soft Suede
Paper: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Whisper White, Real Red, Old Olive

 Yum, those candy canes look yummy! Are you liking the countdown so far? The images at the top of each post are from the 25 and Counting Stamp Brush Set with My Digital Studio.

Okay, I know today is the 8th, but I completely forgot to post this last night before bed! I'll be back later to post Count Down #8.

This card is nice and simple. For this card my challenge was to not use the Big Shot for anything! That was really hard since there are so many things you can do with the Big Shot! But I prevailed. I found the easiest way to add some pizzazz to this card was to put the greeting on Stampin' Dimensionals. And the little bit of ribbon to the wreath makes it pop!

Supplies 
Stamps: Welcome Christmas
Ink: Garden Green, Riding hood Red (same colours for Stampin' Write Markers)
