Using the manger from Nativity Silhouettes. Might be a manger in December, but the other eleven months of the year it can be a house:). You can use sentiments from "Love Lives Here" or "Boards and Beams".
If this was one of those fancy cooking shows, this card would be call "Snowman Deconstructed". Uses Shape Up Snowman Accessories and In the Meadow. Seriously, you can get a lot of mileage out of that snowman set and dies.:)
Negative space can be your friend. Stamp set: Christmas Poinsettia
Very simple die layering on this card using Star of Wonder.
There is an ornament hanger stamp in Dawn's Candy Cane Christmas that is invaluable. I've been wanting something like that forever. Helps turn all the 1.75" stamps into ornaments. Using Tag-its #9, 2011 Holiday Tags (LOVE!) and a sentiment from Christmas Poinsettia here.
The Sending You die set makes a nice fireplace to hang stockings from "Tremendous Treats" from.
OK. Off the the grocery store to buy the ingredients for Lasagna Soup and Taco Pasta. YUM.
You are always so clever! I love the way you made the fireplace using the Sending You die!! And all those tags as ornaments. Love it!

Love Love LOVE. One PTI order has been made....now have to wait for the remaining wish list items to be back in stock.
ReplyDeleteWhy why why if I am your blog follower can I not leave you a comment without being anonymous??? FRUSTRATING
ReplyDeleteBut I love your work regardless of how I can comment
Wonderful cards Erin! I just love the way you think!
ReplyDeleteYou, Erin, are the ultimate PTI salesperson...I've been able to hold off on Candy Cane Christmas...until I saw you using the little ornament hanger with all the 1-3/4" stamps...duh, why didn't I think of that??? Your creative genius is so inspiring...I too love how you're always able to take the sets and do something beyond the obvious with them!! I'd love to develop that skill. Now that I desperately want Candy Cane Christmas, of course it's out of stock. Bummer. Also, I'm not much of a snowman person when it comes to my cards, so even though Mr. Snowman and his accessories is super cute, I was able to resist on that one also...but I ALMOST want it after seeing your fabulous "snowman deconstructed" card...LOL...I LOVE it!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSimply super cards! You made great use of the stamps and dies! :) Tks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you do it. You make me want to buy sets I was able to resist. That snowman deconstructed card is so much fun. The way you used the stable image for a home-is-where-your-heart-is card is pure genius. The tree as a background stamp...wow! The ornaments...YES! Thank you, Erin. I appreciate what you share each and every month. You bring great JOY!
ReplyDeleteFabulously creative work, as always, Erin!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm late to the party, but I wanted to tell you that there are so many wonderful, out of the box ideas here. Thank you. I don't celebrate christmas, but there are things here that are inspiring me along other lines. And, I LOVE the deconstructed snowman. That will work for me for sure, although I may have him in a pile of sand, as I am in San Diego!
ReplyDeleteI love your snowman card!!!! Also love the ornament card!! So clever and cute! Your blog always makes me smile! Thanks!:)
