Christmas Cards


I'm just finishing up my Christmas cards for this year. I will take pictures and post them but for now thought I would post one of my cards from last year because for some reason I didn't post it. My theme for this year seems to 'snowman' because my cards all have different variations of snowmen on them. Even my decorating this year seems to be centering around snowmen. Enjoy the card and I will post more later.

Challenge #53 themed Use Your Scraps at Lia Stampz


The next challenge is up at Lia Stampz and the theme is Use Your Scraps. This card used a few of my scraps but believe me when I say that I could've made hundreds of cards for this challenge if I wanted to use them all up. I don't know where they come from. I have a theory that they multiply overnight when no one is watching. LOL Ok on with the card. The card I made uses a stamp called "Christmas Cookies" from Lia Stampz. Here is the link if you'd like to play along. Lia Stampz Here is the link if you'd like to purchase the stamp: Christmas Cookies at Whimsy Stamps

All Occasion Card


I've been practicing adding extra layers to cards. I just love the look of layers of luscious goodness on a card. Lace and frills and flowers. I've tried making CAS (clean and simple) cards and I just can't do it. They look so 'nekkid' to me and I want to add more clothing and accessories to them. LOL I'm happy with this latest card that I've made. Happy enough that I will put it up for sale in my Etsy shop. Here's what it took to make the card; 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 white cardstock. 4 x 5 1/4 blue cardstock. 3 1/4 x 3 3/4 white cardstock. 2 1/4 x 3 1/2 blue cardstock 2 x 3 1/4 white cardstock K & Co Susan Winget Birdcage Wild Orchid Crafts 30mm Wild Roses (PM-00124) Wild Orchid Crafts 10mm Pink Tone Roses Set A (EX-00014) White Organza Ribbon from stash Pink Satin Ribbon from stash White Gathered Lace from stash White Half back Pearls Dollar Store Green Patterned Paper for Leaves Martha Stewart Scallop Punch Swiss Dot Embossing Folder Cuttlebug As always your comments are welcomed and appreciated.
