'Twas 5 days 'til Christmas. . .

'Twas 5 days 'til Christmas and all through the house,

I was in a mad rush and scurrying about;

Though I tried hard to get everyone on my list,

there were some cards I seem to have missed!

I dashed to my craft room, and whipped up a few;

-It's a good thing they're easy, I needed a slew!

I am over at the CardMaker Blog today with simple and easy steps to quickly create these two cards:

Supplies used for card 1: Festive Flurry and Christmas Messages stamp sets; Encore Metallic Gold and Basic Black; Whisper White and Gold Foil cardstock; Linen Thread.

Supplies used for card 2:  A Banner Christmas stamp set; Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Old Olive Classic Stampin' pads; Whisper White and Crumb Cake cardstock; Season of Style DSP.

Hello Everyone! Today I am over at CardMaker sharing a sweet little gift idea!

I cased the idea from my good friend Katie She, but since she doesn't have a blog, she gave me permission to share her pattern on mine!

Katie surprised me at our Card Club swap with this super cute mug and cocoa (she knows I LOVE anything warm and cozy in this super cold winter weather)!

Here is my rendition of this cute and cozy gift idea:
