Christmas Stamp-A-Stack!

It has been forever since I posted to my Blog.  It just seems to always get moved the the "next" thing to do on my to do list and something else always seems to kick it out of the top spot.  This was my first year as a High School Band Parent and I had no idea what I was getting into when I signed up!  It was a lot of fun but every single week from August to November was full of band activities and practices.  Anyway, I will try to be more consistent in posting because I have been stampin' up a storm and have so  many things I want to share with you!

Anyway, enough rambling...let's get to some stampin!  My annual Christmas Stamp-A-Stack was this past weekend.  We created 5 different card samples and I will be posting one a day every day this week so please come back often and please leave a comment...I would love to hear what you think!

First up is from the Comfort & Joy stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  I love the elegance of this image and it looks beautiful when heat embossed with Stampin' Up's new Pewter Embossing Powder.  (also in the Holiday Mini)  The bottom half of the card front was run through my Big Shot and the Snow Burst Embossing Folder for some added texture.  Bashful Blue 5/8" Satin Ribbon was used to finish off the card front and for the Rhinestone Brad Bow.  The Sizzix Petal Cone Die was also used to cut the banner for the Peace on Earth sentiment. I did add just a hint of color to the dove with my Blender Pen and some Bashful Blue Classic Ink.  

Please stop by tomorrow for card number 2 and thanks for stoppin' by!
