Gift Wrapped Bundle- Christmas card

 Is it too early for Christmas?  Nope.....I don't think so.....as it will be here sooner than we think.  And since our NEW August-December (Holiday) Mini Catalog is out, I just couldn't resist using this awesome new bundle.  It is called- 'Gift Wrapped'!  I love punches- so I'm lovin' this!

 

Yesterday I posted a TRY THIS SKETCH!!  

 This is what the sketch was.  

I posted a birthday card yesterday using this stamp set & sketch!

And today's card is a Christmas card!

Look how I used the Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch for the words.

I didn't want the words to be quite as big as the original punch image was.  So I made it smaller.

So HOW DID I DO IT?

• Punched out a Whisper White Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch.
• Stamped the words in the top 2/3rd of this,
• Then slid the punched out piece, back into the punch & re-punched it.
• It is so easy!  AND it gives you another option for a smaller fun punch!

This is what it now looks like & how much I punched off!  Neat huh!

I colored some Basic Rhinestones (that are clear) with my Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blend.  

And I also colored the center stripe in the bow with my Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blend too- to make it more defined.  And then I added some Wink of Stella over the top of it.  It is tone on tone- but sure make it pop & look different!!  I love the way it changed the whole look of the bow.
