I've been on a Deedee's Digis kick all weekend and have used several different sets to make Christmas cards and tags. Just as I was thinking that I was pretty well caught up on the number of cards I need this year, I got another commission for eight cards. Then my neighbor, who loves all my cards and has ordered several from me over the last year, wants ten MORE Christmas cards! So now I'm hopping like a bunny to get everything done.
I also want to let you know that Deedee's Digis is having a year end sale of 75% off all sets in the store!! Nothing over $.88! Can you believe those prices?
Since Deedee has so many pre-colored images, and since those make cards go really quickly, I printed out 4 images for tags, and another 4 for cards. Here's the first one I finished from the "Away in a Manger" set. Both the image and the sentiment are from that set.
I used my newest scalloped dies (Memory Box) and I love the stitching on them. The background embossing is done with a folder from Darice used on red CS which has stars on it. The sentiment is also cut with one of the stitched dies. The bow is tied with my bow maker.

That's it for me today but I'll be posting cards and tags all week long so that I can share what I've done with all the things I printed (and colored on many of them.) Less than 4 weeks to Christmas now and I have even more to do than I did before the Thanksgiving holiday. :-D Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
