So Exciting!

So excited for the CUBS!  I like so many of players on the team and they all deserve the win, but it is so nice to see David Ross retire with this World Series Win.  Great to see so much happiness. Congrats to all the Chicago Cubs and their families!

Lately, I have been posting pretty/cute cards but most of them were shades of orange and brown.  And soon I will be posting Christmas cards, which means a whole lot of red and green over the next couple of months.  So I pulled out the package of my all-time favorite In Color DSP (2013-2015) and chose Coastal Cabana for today's card.  The image is from the hostess set Gift of Love and the sentiment is from Circle of Spring.  I embellished the card with my all-time favorite embellishment, the coordinating In Color sequins.  I look at this card, and it makes me happy!  Of course, I am sure that happy feeling has something to do with the fact that the CUBS WON!!!!  Have a great day!

Another Santa Card

Once again, I used the Detailed Santa thinlets dies for not only the Santa but also for the decorative trim on the bottom of the card front.  If you are looking for an easy card to create, this is it.  I placed the Santa thinlet and the decorative trim piece on the cutting plate at the same time.  I used a post it note to hold the trim in place as I rolled the paper and dies thru the Big Shot.  I then stamped the sentiment.  If I was making a few or more of this card, I would use my Misti to stamp the sentiment.  I also would center the decorative die and the sentiment a little better, too!  Since my sentiment and decorative trim are a little off center, I did add a couple little sequins to the right edge of the sentiment.  The sentiment is from the Greetings from Santa set.  Have a great day and GO CUBS!!!!!!!

A Christmas Card

Believe it or not, today's post is a Christmas card!  My friend, Paula, was here on Saturday and brought her newest toys~~SU's Detailed Santa Thinlets Die and the Greetings from Santa stamp set (p. 11 Holiday Mini).  Paula also brought the materials for me to create today's card.  We both agreed that we don't usually send Christmas cards with black cardstock, but this one looks perfect with the red glitter paper against the black cardstock.   The Greetings from Santa stamp set does not have framelits,so I fussy cut the "naughty or nice list".  After fussy-cutting the list and placing it against the black, you could see a few little white spaces where the cutting wasn't perfect.  I took out a black Spectrum Noir marker and ran it across the edges to cover up those spots.  I can still see a few little white spaces, but you have to be looking for them! Have a great day!
