Candy Canes for Merry Monday

Good Merry Monday morning.

We're down to the wire.
Are your Christmas cards done?

Mine are, but it's never too early to start on next year's cards.

Or have one on hand for that someone you forgot!


This week Linda is our hostess.

I find that I don't have a lot of candy cane stamps so I started looking
for stamps that had a candy cane on them.

This Paper Sweeties set was a NBUS and I thought a CAS card 
would work really well seeing as Christmas is almost upon us.
And it has a tiny candy cane peeking out of the stocking.

I stamped some stockings and colored with Copics.

A little Polar White Flower Soft made a fluffy cuff.

Quick and easy!

And since I used snippets, I'm off to
Pixie's Snippet Playground.


I hope you'll put a candy cane on your Christmas card and join us at
Merry Monday.

Debbie invited me to enter this at the Paper Sweeties December Challenge
Thanks, Debbie.



Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

    Indeed! Mine are done and mostly mailed. I have one that needs a gift card, one that needs a letter, and 2 go to my family and my mother complains if she gets a Christmas card this early in the month.

    You are right that it is good to have a couple extra on hand. You never know who will surprise you with a card or other holiday acknowledgement.

    I like your sweet and simple card. I like the fluffy top to the Christmas sock.

    Bonnie, this card with our little holiday stocking is sweet as can be! I love the CAS design and that beautiful embossing along the bottom of the card! I hope you'll have time to share with us for our December challenge - there's a $100 GC up for grabs this month ;)

    My cards are done, only because I had leftovers from last year's challenges. So now I'll get a head start by joining you at Merry Monday, Bonnie. I'm surprised this is a NBUS stamp because it's so cute and I love it with the embossing below.

    Wonderful card Bonnie - I love the CAS look and the image is perfect! I can't find anything with candy canes on here for this week's challenge. Funny enough, I've said to myself in the past I must look for a stamp in readiness as this seems to be an annual Merry Monday theme! :)

    Hugs

    What a pretty stocking with the candy cane Bonnie and looks great on the stitched square with the red in the background and complementary red sentiment. The bit of embossing along the bottom of the card is just perfect with it too. x
