Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're having a great day! If you're looking for a great way to treat yourself I hope you consider trying a subscription to one of the My Creative Scrapbook monthly kits. They select the pattern papers and lots of coordinating supplies and deliver it straight to your front door so all you have to focus on is MAKING! Every month they have several kits to choose from.. their Main Kit, LE - Limited Edition, Creative Kit and Album Kit - so you can choose what's right for you!
This time I'm playing with the Main Kit that includes 12" papers and embellishments from Simple Stories "All Wrapped Up" and Photoplay "Christmas Junque" Collections. You'll also find die cuts, stickers, rub on's and lots more! Everything is hand selected with care and perfectly coordinated to work together and shipped directly to your door!You never know what will be in the kit every month and I really enjoy the surprise in the mail. It's like receiving a gift, and I'm always delighted with what I find inside the box. Quality papers that are relevant to the time of year delivered straight to my door! 
I love the traditional reds and greens in this collection, particularly the touch of mint that is unexpected and really pleasing to the eye.
I like to use the 3x4" journaling cards to create focal points for my designs. I don't limit myself to whatever sentiment is printed on them, it's easy to cover them with images or perhaps a larger sentiment.. it's all up to you! I make my own sheets of foam adhesive by purchasing inexpensive craft foam and adding double sided tape to the front and back. Then I just cut the size I need to raise small or large embellishments. Adding some dimension this way gives your designs a fussier layered look. 
Everything you see on my cards is included in the kit EXCEPT for the white cardstock card bases, solid cardstock cover matts, adhesives and gems. Things that you already probably have in your stash right now.
All cards finished size: 4.25 x 5.5"

This background panel is from Waffle Flower and it's called "Frosty Panel". I cut it from white cardstock and then inked it with Distress Oxide in pink, purple and blue.
I added a simple Oversized Peace die cut word and strip sentiment raised with a bit of adhesive foam tape. Both are retired. I added a few small snowflakes to finish the design. Because the holidays are the sparkly season I double cut the snowflakes and word die with gold glitter paper and added a bit of gold twine underneath.
