I had embossed several card mats using some of Anna Griffin's folders and then was not quite sure what to do with them.  This one features her Sleigh Bells folder. I sponged the whole mat with Stampin Up's Garden Green Ink and loved the effect.  The sentiment and trees and deer and moon were die cut using Stampin Up's coordinating Carols of Christmas stamp set and Card Front Builders Thinlets. A7 size card.

For this second one I used Anna Griffin's Christmas Holly Damask folder and daubed it with Stampin Up's Cherry Cobbler ink.  The sentiment here is from the October Paper Pumpkin kit.  The die cuts were cut using my Cricut Explore Air 2 with their Design Space images.  A7 size card.

This Christmas card uses the sentiment from the October 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit which was stamped with Old Olive ink and matted with the plaid card stock in the kit.  The  ornaments were created using the coordinating Carols of Christmas stamp set and Card Front Builder Thinlits from Stampin Up with Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Pacific Point and Crushed Curry inks.  The top card mat was embossed with the Sizzix Big Shot Pine Bough folder and then daubed with the Old Olive ink.  A7 size card.

Here's another shaker card.  I found this Santa stamp at Michael's and had fun coloring it with my Stampin' Up markers.   The pines on the card front are from Stampin Up's Christmas Happiness stamp set using Old Olive ink.  The tiny ornaments were created using the coordinating Carols of Christmas stamp set and Card Front Builder Thinlits with Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Pacific Point and Crushed Curry inks.  A7 size card.

What a cute little deer from Stampin Up's coordinating Seasonal Chums and Seasonal Tags Framelits. The sentiment and snowflakes were stamped with stamps from their October 2107 Paper Pumpkin kit and Cherry Cobbler ink. A2 Card.

This card highlights the adorable snowman from Stampin Up's Coordinating Seasonal Chums stamp set and Seasonal Tags Framelits.   The sentiment was stamped with their Pacific Point ink with a stamp from Hero Arts set #HA CL722. This is an A2 size card.

And here are a few more alternatives using the October 2017 Paper Pumpkin with other items. These are all A2 size cards.

For the shaker window on this first card I used a die cut from Stampin Up's Hometown Greetings Edgelits Dies.  Just love this set.  The sentiment is from the Paper Pumpkin kit.  

This second card uses the cardstock from the Paper Pumpkin Kit.  The die cut trees and deer were made with dies from Stampin Up's Card Front Builder Thinlits.  The snowflakes were cut with Tim Holtz Sizzix die set #661599.

And for this third one I again used the cardstock and sentiment from the Paper Pumpkin Kit.  The snowflakes were from the same Sizzix die set used above.  The adorable deer is cut using a die from Stampin Up's Santa's Sleigh Framelits.

I have been very busy making Christmas cards. Lots of experimenting.   Here are a couple more cards shaker cards inspired by the October Paper Pumpkin Kit.  These are both A2 size card.

This first shaker card uses the larger circle front with pine tree mat and sentiment from the kit.  I added the snowman stamped, colored and die cut using Stampin Up's coordinating Seasonal Chums and Seasonal Tags Framelits.

This one used the smaller ornament circle front and sentiment from the kit.  But I added a Santa that I stamped and colored for inside the shaker ornament.  And of course a little "bling" to make it sparkle.
