Merry Merry

I've been struggling coming up with a Christmas card for me to send out.  I finally did come up with one in the past couple of days.  I'm not sure if I'll mass create it for everyone or at least have it for some of my cards, with variations in paper.  I sure am in love with Spellbinders poinsettia die.  Last year a new friend let me use hers while at a crop.  I think I even opened the package, she had never used hers before, now that's a generous friend!  LOL

Today I decided not only to do Christmas cards, but get some gifties made. I work at a foodservice distributor and found some small packages of coffee that would be fun to give.  Backroads Coffee is in Hayward, WI and here is a link to their holiday flavors, which is what I picked up. Yesterday, I made the Winter Wonderland flavor and used eggnog creamer...yummmm.  Here is how I enclosed the sample package of coffee.

I'm not sure what is up with the camera, but there is always a blur in the bottom middle of my photos.  Not sure if a new camera is needed or a new sd card.  I'm entering this in Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - Anything But a Card.

Here is the Christmas card I came up.  I really like window cards and really should make them more often. I found this awesome poinsettia embossing folder from a company called Crafts Too.  I've never heard of them before, but really like the poinsettia frame it creates.  I thought it would look great with the poinsettia die and I was right. :)   I also used the Fiskar's stamp set I won from entering a card on World Card Making Day.

In one of my previous posts, I showed you a teaholder card I created. If you'd like to create a teaholder card for a gift here is the blog I found it at.  The only thing I did differently from her tutorial was to trim off the  top half (along score line to fold of pocket) of the tea pockets so the bottom would fold over with less bulk.  This is a wintery teaholder card that I came up with using BoBunny paper and a Unity stamp (cup) and Hero Arts sentiment stamp.

Only 10 more days until Christmas!  Today is my sister's birthday and I'm late in sending her a card, but I will send one out today.  Hope your weekend is wonderful and that your preparations for Christmas are going well.  Thanks for stopping by, it always warms my heart to read your comments.
