Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas all! Sorry for the gap in posts, we got busy! Traveled a bit for meetings for my husband, and I've been working on Christmas cards!! But the good news is we are very close to ready for Christmas! I'm finishing cleaning today, then have plans to bake some cookies! Everything is wrapped and we have plans for meals!!

Here are the cards we mailed this year, 4 different colors, to 109 family and friends! Yes that is alot but it feels good to have done it :)




The Season of Elegance DSP was the starting point, and the reason for the 4 colors. Each card is also different because of the print on the DSP! I saw a card in the Mini when it came out and I was inspired!! Colors are Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow and Pretty Peacock. Each card has an embossed DSP background using the Painted Trees embossing folder. I stamped two trees for each card, the medium and large from Peaceful Evergreen and die cut them. I also die cut a banner using the Stylish Shapes die set and then stamped Merry Christmas from the Greetings of the Season set. The trees were attached to the base with dimensionals. Between the trees I added another dimensional and attached a gold twine ribbon (retired). Over that I added the banner with Mini Glue dots. Lastly, I added 5 gold dots. Most all of these products can be seen in the Mini Catalog, page 24/25. Links are also below!

Thank you for stopping by today! Hoping to be back in the stamp room on a regular basis soon! I'm ready to create!! Have a Very Merry Christmas all!! I will be back with news and things upcoming after Christmas!! January = Sale-A-Bration!!

Thanking You flowers

Hey all! Here is a card I made several of last week/weekend and sent to customers this week! I got this large thank you recently (Thanking You) and knew it would be great with DSP!

I've also been thinking Pink, so this worked perfectly! These elements are all from The Country Woods  Suite, page 48-51 in the Annual Catalog. The DSP is from the Country Lace pack and I chose the gray print background. The thank you was actually a little bigger than I thought, but I knew I wanted some accent at the bottom. I reached for the Country Flowers dies and looked at the options. Originally, I thought maybe a stamped image (from the coordinating Country Flowers set) but they were a little too big. I opted for this "bucket" and separate flowers in Petal Pink. These flowers are a total of 4 dies. I used many Mini Dimensionals and glue dots! The thank you is embossed by stamping the Craft White ink and adding White Powder (long time since I've done that!!). In the center of the flowers is Shimmery Crystal Effects. Also hadn't used anything like that for a while. Just takes a little patience (for drying time) and practice to get consistent dots!

White Christmas

Hello all! Happy Tuesday! I was working on another project yesterday (will share later this week) and I took a break to look at the Christmas challenge. The theme yesterday was "cheer". I took a look at a few of the cards that had been shared, and I saw one with a wine glass. Inspiration! I knew I had a couple sets that were wine themed, so I started looking!! I am a wino after all :) Here is what I came up with!

Stamp set is the retired Half Full and even includes a few Christmas sayings! In addition to the one I used, there is a "Merry Christmas" and to go with the above, "but if the white runs out I'll drink red". Either or both would be perfect inside!! Card base is Cherry Cobbler, accent of Crumb Cake behind the retired DSP (Season of Style). I stamped the wine bottle and glass in Memento (should probably have been Stazon to watercolor) and then colored with Blender pen and ink pad. The tag by the way is from the current Greetings of the Season die set.
