Hi Everyone! It is my hopes to get a JUMP start on my Christmas card making this year! LOL I found this cuuute Basic Grey DP from the Eskimo Kisses line on my last trip to my LSS. It had such a HOMEY appeal to me :) I paired it with this HOME image from We R Memory Keepers
that cost a mere 99 cents! For Sketch Inspiration, I used Jen del Murro's awesome Sketch For You To Try which can be found at iheart2stamp.com I was also able to combine Pile it on's Challenge #18 - Three Dimensional :) Whether you are looking for some inspiration or a sketch to try, I recommend visiting both these sites as you will not be disappointed with all the DT examples as well as the other participants submissions! I'd love to know if you are getting a JUMP start on your Holiday cards/gifts? Be Sweet!
Here is my From Our House To Yours card & treat bag tag:
This Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses DP looks like it had freshly snowed on this village, so I used my Martha Stewart punches x 3, layered them x 2 & sewed a button right smack in the center of each :)
In this bird's eye view pic, the Cuttlebug Snowflake embossing really shows up on the white center circle behind the stamped house images as well as the Swiss Dots embossing on the light blue strips x 3.
I made this coordinating tag. I love how such a simple lil' tag can really dress up a plain cellophane bag of treats!

Very cute card! I love those stamped townhomes! Great colors and textures as usual!
Don't you just love this set? Very colorful papers and they lend themselves to all sorts of styles....you just proved that! Great job!
Love the homespun look! Very sweet looking card. Wonderful job with the stamping and embossing.
Mona, I love this cityscape stamps! Great job with everything. Your snowflakes are always impressive!
Very pretty card. I love how all your colors flow! The embossed accents really bring this card to life. Great job!
Wow Mona, you really rocked that sketch! This is a gorgeous card with that pretty DP. I can't get over how you always find those great bargins and turn them into works of art. When you walk around the store do you just "see" images of what you can do with a given item? I just see paper and buttons! You must have some special Craft Gift that the rest of us don't! You are amazing and I'm glad I get to share this stuff with you! Thanks for the eternal inspiration, girlfriend!
WOW!!! I really love both the card & the tag!!! The 2 two- color homes .. that had to take some time & alot of work! A real nice job as always!
Very precious card. I love the traditional victorian style houses in the stamps and DP. You embossing always adds so much to your projects! This is a lovely design! Excellent showing!
Cheers!
Hi Mona, I love this card! It has a vintage "city" feel to it but with a cool, almost 3d element! The compliments the main stamped images great! I love your design, as usual! TFS!
Hhello! This card and tag are really cute! I love that stamp you used! What a bargin. It looks like the stamp and the designer paper were made for each other! Great job and I'm so glad I'm following you; learning so much! Thanks
Hi Mona, this card is just darling! I love the city feel to it. Snowy winters in the city are fun and exciting and you capture that with this card and tag! You worked those colors beautifully!
I love the homespun feel to this card! It makes me think of winters in rural New England! Great job!
Is every card you do a masterpiece? This one is gorgeous too! Wow!
I love the way you did the colors on this project. The DP and that stamp compliment each other so well! Love your embossing too! TFS!
