I love this time of year because it's when all of the fun and festive new Christmas lines start to make their way to the craft stores and into my hands. Teresa Collins has a couple of new Christmas collections...both so beautiful and detailed, and today I am sharing some cards made using the new Candy Cane Lane collection.
I used Candy Cane Lane acrylic stamps down the left side of my card, embossing the snowflakes in gold and then accenting with an enamel snowflake, and red and snowflake shaped sequins.
Some layered chipboard to the center of my card, accented with more enamel dots...
A bit of white silk ribbon, and this little card was complete. I love the pops of red in this collection, but I LOVE the vintage flair too, such as in the card below.
Vintage images such as candy canes and a Santa, die cut tags and shapes, cardstock stickers, etc.
Be still my heart :). I adore this line and will be back shortly with more projects using it.
Enjoy your Wednesday!

P.P.P.S. I am doing a major clean-out and have oodles of supplies to share. I will pack up a big box of paper-crafting supplies to send your way, any theme you'd like, shabby, holiday, wedding, baby, etc. or any combination. They are for sale HERE in my etsy shop. Please specify what you'd prefer and I'll be sure to accommodate. I have albums, chipboard, paper, cardstock stickers, metal tins, stamps, trims, Cricut cartridges, dies, etc.
Christmas in July! We could use some of those snowflakes flying around. Love the color scheme of your first card & that Santa is adorable. Happy Wednesday to you.
