October 5th is World Card Making Day and of cozzzz I had to make some cards!

It's a fun one today because Unity Stamp is releasing some really cute Christmas stamps.

Christmas is so close, I could almost smell it. *haha*

For my first card, I wanted to create a rustic but colorful Christmas card using the wreath from Warmth of Christmas kit by Graciellie Designs. I colored it with Prismacolor colored pencils then tied it with some Trendy Twine "Peppermint Icicle" little bits.

For the background, I used Sweadda Weadda by Brutus Monroe, embossed it with some white embossing powder then spritzed it with some Ranger Dylusion ink sprays.

For my next holiday card, I wanted to create a really sparkly glittery card using the Holiday Hello by Tierra Jackson. So I cut out the stamp using a snowglobe die - if you don't have one, don't worry! Just use a circle die and cut off the ends OR cover it with some Prima snowflake paste, that looks like glittery snow when it is dried. I also used some Simon Says Stamp glitter cardstock and also added lots of pretty Cinderella Unity sequins.

For my final card, I wanted to create a fun background for the beautiful sentiment from the Joyous Comfort kit by Ann Butler. So I spritzed lots of Nuvo shimmer powders onto some watercolor cardstock, then added a subtle pattern with my Tim Holtz stencil using some Gina K glitz glitter gel. If you wanted a more "popping" design, you could always use a brighter color :)

Have a happy World Card Making Day (or week) and happy shopping :)
