Christmas is coming !
Today where I am sharing a few more Christmas cards I have made with a couple of the new releases this month.
First up using up some of my Christmas scrap paper
I did the background in herring bone design
Embossed the 'bottle won't open' saying in gold
and gold around the edges
Added gold corners from a die cut I have and the saying
is popped up a little
Next up - using scraps again - This quick and easy design
Using the new Scripted Merry Christmas embossed onto the cardstock
Last one to share today is again using the 'bottle won't open' stamp along with an older stamp 'the happy housewife'
Emobossed in Gold - then the background was embossed with a snowflake folder. The lovely lady was fussy cut out and layered on.
The look on her face would be the same as mine if I couldn't get my wine bottle open LOL.

Are You in the Holiday Spirit
Hey Crafty Friends -
Looking for a fun stamp set to use as you work on your holiday cards? If so I highly encourage you to grab the newly released The Bottle Won't Open stamp set! Check out the below instructions providing steps on how I put this card together.
- The colors were important so I began looking through my stash of patterned paper to find that special piece of paper. I knew I wanted to use red/cranberry as my main colors with a hint of green to color the leaves.
- I cut a piece of patterned paper as well as white card stock using a nested deckled edge die. I adhered the patterned paper to the card base and the white card stock to the patterned paper.
- The sentiment is from the November Release stamp set, The Bottle Won't Open. You can either mask the sentiment or cut the stamp. I am a cutter so I tend to cut stamps. I know I am fearless! LOL The great thing is you put it back together like a puzzle piece.
- I stamped the portion of the sentiment that read "I'm trying to get in the Holiday Spirit". I colored the banner and leaves using Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Markers.
- The sentiment was paired with the Gnome for Christmas stamp set. Isn't the Gnome beyond cute??!!
- The Gnome image was stamped in black ink onto the white mat and then again on a scrap piece of white card stock. I colored the image, fussy cut it out and adhered it over the stamped image with 3-D foam tape adding dimension.
- The cuffs at the end of the gnomes shirt was colored with Stickles to add flair.
- I added a few bitty sparkles to round out this card.

She Made It / He Made it - November 2023
Deb here with one of the November Release stamps for a fun project. I had a creative day with a friend recently and while I made cards, she created some gift bags. They were so amazing that I thought I'd make a few for this post. The Bottle Won't Open stamp was perfect for my gift bags.
- I bought some Kraft and Red gift bags at Dollar Tree - actually they were 3 for $1.25.
- Red and green plaid patterned paper was cut and adhered to the front of each of the bags.
- I stamped the Bottle image twice on white mixed-media paper with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
- I also stamped the Bottle image twice on green paper and fussy-cut the banner.
- The 2 stamped images were colored and trimmed.
- I adhered the banners to each of the stamped images.
- Red rhinestones were placed on the sides of each holly leaf cluster.
- I adhered the matted, stamped images to Christmas patterned paper .
- On the bag with the green plaid background, I adhered the holly paper .
- On the red plaid background bag, I adhered the holiday cups paper.
- I tied a wooden holiday tag to each bag with twine.
