Last Christmas Card:(


This will probably be my last Christmas card post for this year. I still have to make some cards for my co-workers and I want to make a gift card set for my boss. I am running out of time! I created this card for 4 Challenges.

The Play Date Cafe #9-Navy Blue, Gold and Cream
Stamp Something-Holiday Somethings
Our Creative Corner-Let it Snow!
Inspirational Card Sketches #47

The stamp that I used is StampinUp which I embossed with gold. I found a snowflake in my stash by My Big Idea but it was Silver. I dipped it in Versamark and embossed it with gold too. I ran the blue panel through the snowflake embossing panel. I added gold prisma paper, a ribbon and the saying is a sticker. Thanks for stopping by!

A very bright Christmas card!


I created this card for the Play Date Cafe Challenge #8. The colors that you are supposed to use are hot pink, lime green and red. These are pretty hard colors to put together! I found this paper in my stash by SEI that fit the bill. It is pretty and shiny in real life! The tree stamp is Queen Kat Designs and the saying is Verve. I added green gems to the tree. I also punched green leaves and added pink flowers and with gems in the middles. I used the fun sketch at Inspirational Card Sketches #46. Thanks for stopping by!

More embossing...

Two Turtle Doves...


I created this card for 3 challenges. I found a new challenge called the Play Date Cafe Challenge #7-Green, Deep Red and White. The Our Creative Corner Challenge was to use one of the 12 days of Christmas. I used the sketch from Mojo Monday #115.

The stamp that I used is Gel-a-Tin. I embossed the tree with Zing green embossing powder. I embossed the birds with detail white. I ran the green panel through the Cuttlebug and used the Spellbinder for the white around the tree. I printed the saying from the computer. I added the Christmas flowers by Hero Arts.

I am going to go ahead and put this card into the DT tryout for Stampin' for the Weekend. You are supposed to make a card to show your style. That is so hard because I like to try many different things! I do love to emboss and I love simple, elegant cards. But I also like to color with my Copic markers, I love flowers, House Mouse stamps, I like to try vintage cards... I am done stressing about it. This one is going to be my entry!

Cute little eskimo girl...


I created this card for 2 challenges.

Colour Create Challenge #33-Lilac or Purple with Aqua, Black and White

I kind of like this color combination! The stamp is StampinUp. I stamped her twice, once in black and once in purple. I colored her face and cut out it and her boots and added it to the purple image. I added Dazzling Diamonds to the fur. The patterned paper is DejaVu. I cut the top of the paper with decorative sissors. I added ribbon, a flower and a flower brad. Thanks for stopping by!
