Welcome to this month’s edition of the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop.

Here we are just two weeks-ish before Christmas. And, when I think Christmas, I think red and green. So, I did a little playing with the gorgeous Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper which made an encore appearance in the August- December Mini catalog.  I absolutely love this paper!

This first card features the Christmas Gleaming stamp set which was also a returning favorite. I added a little extra oomph using the rectangle die from the Nature’s Thought die set and one of the rectangles from the Stitched So Sweetly die set. 

Since the two rectangles didn’t layer quite right, I used the Real Red Double Stitched Satin Ribbon to cover the empty space. I used Real Red and Garden Green Stampin’ Write Markers to color the holly sprig then fussy cut it.

This card uses the mosaic technique with the Tailored Tag Punch. I was careful about how I punched them out and placed them on the card so that the pattern stayed lined up. 

TIP: I let the tag edges hang over the edge when I glued (I used TomBow) them down. Then I used my Paper Snips to trim them off. 

I used the Merry Moose Stamp Set as well as the coordinating Moose Punch to add a little more pizzazz. 

I hope these cards give you a little inspiration to get you over the last Christmas hurdles! Now hop along…
