Christmas Card~~Maybe

Yesterday was a Christmas card day in my scrap room.  Today's card is one that was a possible design for the cards I will be sending out this year.  I used Shimmery White and Marina Mist cardstock and the pretty Frosted sequins that are in SU's Holiday Mini.  Have a great day!

Get Well Soon

I started working on Christmas cards over the weekend.  I am thinking I should really should be working on Thanksgiving favors!  If you don't see daily posts from me, it is because I am working on
those projects instead of creating new cards for my blog.  Today's card is a cheerful get well card.  I used Lawn Fawn's On The Mend stamp set and dies for both the image and the sentiment.  The vase of smiling flowers was colored in with Spectrum Noir markers after it was stamped on Shimmery White cardstock.    I used scraps of DSP and water colored Shimmery White on the card front.  The card was finished with a little white baker's twine bow.  Have a great day!

First off, let me start my post by thanking all of the Veterans of the United States military.  I have always been proud of my Dad, my great uncle and friends who served in the military over the years.   To all who served our country~~thank you.

Today's card is another idea from Pinterest.  I used a Wonky Stitches die from Avery Elle and a SU circle die for the top layer of the card.  The Pool Party and Pistachio Pudding leaves were stamped using stamps from SU's Love and Affection stamp set as are the  the Crisp Cantaloupe flowers.  I stamped off once when I inked the Pistachio Pudding leaves and meant to stamp off for all the little flowers, but I forgot to on one of them--oops!  The sentiment is from the Endless Thanks set.  Whatever colors you use for the leaves and flowers, just make sure they are pale enough for the black sentiment to stand out. I embellished the card with a few sequins, but you could use buttons or enamel dots or whatever is your favorite embellishment.  I did adhere the top layer to a white card base using dimensionals. Have a wonderful weekend! 

Snowy Tree

As I looked out my office window yesterday, I saw that most of the colorful leaves on my trees were almost gone.  It made me realize that soon those bare branches will be snow-covered.  The thought reminded me of a card I saw on the internet that I wanted to make.  I used the Sheltering Tree stamp set and both the images and the sentiment are in the set.  The "snow" is white craft ink which does need a little time to dry.  I first stamped the "snow" and once it dried, I stamped the tree using Black Memento ink.  I am hoping the branches on my trees stay bare for a very long time!  I am not ready for snow.  Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time.
