This is the image from the other half of the sheet I used yesterday. Same color palette so I used a reddish woodgrain from the same 6 x 6 paper pack.
I even used the same base card and the same rub-on greeting.

The new punch-out 3D sheets I got have wonderful images for Christmas. This one suited so well the plaid background that I had from a recent 6 x 6 pad I picked up.
It's difficult to tell, but the lamp with all the berries and the bow as well as all the curled portions around the edge of the scroll are 3D.
I used a rub-on for the greeting.

Well, there's a little stamping on it! Actually, the holly is from the stamp catalog I got at Goodwill and cut up. I colored it with Copic markers and glazed the berries with Diamond Glaze and covered the golden background with Stickles. I cut with a circle die and layered on a green cardstock cut with a label die.
These were mounted with foam tape over the checked scrapbook paper and this over white cardstock.
Now to the stamping... just the greeting, I'm afraid.

This is another of the 'victorian' die cut images. I backed this one with the golden brown and fronted it with a die cut cream cardstock.
A stamped greeting and three stamped snowflakes finish the theme.

An overall pattern of red and green boughs and pinecones made a nice wreath by cutting with two Nestability scallop dies. I added an organza ribbon tied in a bow and mounted it to the copper cardstock oval with foam dots.
I placed these onto the checkered scrapbook paper over green cardstock and finished off with a gold peel-off greeting.

I think these globes were originally 'ornaments' on another card. A die cut was used to punch them out and they just 'belonged' on more of the gold on gold paper.
The text is a clear sticker.

What a sweet card this made. I cut the bunny with a Nestability die and layered, with foam dots, over checked scrapbook paper. The base card in cream matches the main illustration.
I added a gold peel-off for the greeting.

With a snowglobe illustration from one card - center cut out - and a snowy scene from another, I created an new card front and mounted on blue cardstock.
I added Stickles to the snow and the windows. The poinsettia at the upper right and the text at the lower left are clear stickers from a coordinating sheet.

Red, gold, red, gold, done!
... with a little bid of foam tape added in.

The trees and the penguin are separate 'stamps' which I cut from my Goodwill-find catalog. I colored them with Copic markers and cut them out for some layering. The snow drifts in the background are drawn with markers and then all of the white 'snow' and lettering was done with gel pen.
A green card base echoes the color from the trees.
Ddd
I've held on to this little illustration for years - I love the simplicity with the only color on the wreath. I used a Nestability label die to cut and emboss the edges.
More of the gold on gold text paper was mounted on red folded card for the base and the illustration is popped up on foam dots.
Ddd
Another departure from the traditional colors is this acid green card - which, once again, doesn't take a photo well.
Trust me, this card is bright and vibrant from top to bottom! The snowman was punched out with glitter already covering him. A moss GREEN diecut was stamped with the greeting, and snowflakes stamped all about.

Silver mistletoe? Why not? Seems that Christmas has come a long way from red and green. This recovered card scrap takes that WAY over into silver and midnight blue with gold accents.
Well, I can get on THAT bandwagon with just the addition of gold on gold backing paper, some folded blue cardstock, and a few foam dots.

A little fussy cutting was required to separate this stocking from it's original card - but well worth the effort. In their pure forms the colors are sill red and green, but by changing them to pink and mossy green it add a kind of 'sugar plum' feel to the card.
There were some foil areas to the stocking so I added Stickles to them to glitter them up. A band of glittered cardstock, from another old card, and a stamped greeting on a Nestability die cut bring it all together.
Ddd
Well, this illustration was colorful, nice-sized and already glittered - not much to do beyond cutting it out and sticking it down. I used foam dots to do so.
I used a white gel pen to make 'stitching' around the edges and stamped the greeting.
Ddd
More scraps, more golg on gold text cardstock, and more gold peel-off stickers.
A Nestability label die was used to cut the main image and mounted up on foam dots.
Ddd
I don't remember what this little bear was staring at on the original card. I gave him a star punched from glittered card scraps and used more of them as trim on the left side.
The white lines under the star are gel pen and the greeting is stamped.
Ddd
This cute little snowman had a little scarf which I traded out using some lumpy yarn. I actually cut slits in the card and tucked the yarn ends in them. He doesn't look nearly so chilly now.
The text is a thick acrylic sticker.

Cut from a recycled card with Nestabilities, these blue birds are mounted over a glitter and striped border cut from another card.
I chose a blue folded cardstock base to match the color of the birds and added red rhinestones to most of the berries - using three sizes for variety.
Ddd
I cut this ornament from a catalog. With such beautiful scrollwork on it I simply traced it with diamond Stickles, including the cap and string. It is mounted on a die cut which floats over gold on gold scraps with foam dots underneath.
This is a top-fold card.
