STAMPlorations inspiration #242 and christmas redux blog hop


Hello there and welcome to our regularly scheduled Tuesday inspiration post which this week also happens to be this year's Christmas Redux Blog Hop.  We're having some fun with STAMPlorations Christmas dies and you have a chance to win some too!

Today I have two cards for you. I made a shaker card with the trendy black and gold Christmas colors I'm seeing this year.

And since I had a cool stag head die cut left over...  I decided to make this a twofer.


I stenciled three geometric shapes tone-on-tone on my cardbase, die cut what I'm calling a poinsettia even though it isn't ;), heat embossed a smidgen of it to match the heat embossed sentiment and voila!

Thanks for looking. See how you can win some fun prizes and see what the other gals have created in this post.
