Instead of the “traditional” colors that I normally use to create Christmas items, I decided to try using our La Belle Vie paper pack to go with this Christmas stamp set!

As I created my cards, I was excited with the end results!!!

Using the colors of our new Champagne ink color and our traditional color of Smokey Plum ink. It turned out to be a very elegant card!

A few close up pictures…

I used the script words in this stamp set to create a BACKGROUND for my mittens.

I also enjoyed adding the almond glitz glitter gel (NEW!) to add a bit of glitz and sparkle to my striped background paper AND my mittens!

On the 2nd card, I again used the script wording for a background, and used the famous almond glitz J – but I also pulled in one more stamp set…Snowflakes…to add the border at the bottom of the card.

I hope you enjoyed my creation using this stamp set…BUT this hop is not over!!! J
