Let the Holiday Season Begin!

With Halloween over and done with, it means the holiday season has officially kicked off.  Here's my first holiday card this year.  This is a super easy card to make.  With the Petite Pennants punch, you can punch out 2 different sized "trees" at the same time.  What's even better is, since DSPs are thin, you can put 2 layers together and punch at once and get 4 trees per punch.  Hee-hee... that's my lazy stamper way. :)  Anyways, you can also take a piece of cardstock, emboss it first, then punch it out.  With just a couple of punching action, you can get a card done in a jiffy!

Father's Pennants

I had literally 30min before we left the house to make a card for my father-in-law on Father's Day.  Inspiration came from Angela's hybrid card.

My color printer is out of a color, and I'm too lazy to change the cartridge.  So I just did an actual card. I hand drew the pennant poles.  They're a tad bit too skinny.  Oh well.

Side view.  I popped up the middle flag, and popped up the top one even more with 2 Dimensionals.

Holiday Trees

CASE'd from Angie Leach.  I took her advice and stamped with a darker ink than the cardstock for each of the trees.  Each tree requires 3 punches to put together.  Just fold each piece in half and glue together.  I hand cut the trunk.  I didn't measure.  I suppose you could also use the trunk that comes with the Pennant Parade stamp set, but I was too lazy to line up and stamp.  :)

Sorry for the lack of posts last week.  We were on vacation.  We came back with the baby being sick and needy.  Then I got food poisoning really badly.  Oy, at least I've slowly recovered.  The baby is still sick, though.  My poor boy.

Pennant Trees

It's October, so it's okay to start showing holiday cards, right?  Just like the stores already have holiday decorations out on display? LOL.  This is a card from my Card Buffet.  I CASE'd this from Susan Carlson.  This card uses the stamps from Pennant Parade.  Isn't it great that the set is versatile enough to be used all year round?
