Warm Wishes

Hello Stamping Friends,

I still posting. That's a good thing, right?  I just needed to figure out this whole time management thing while working full time. That has taken me awhile but I think I got it now. I hope you have been enjoying hearing from more often. Okay, I really hope you have been inspired by the projects I've shared too. I know I enjoyed creating them and shouldn't keep that all to myself.

First, I want to say thank you to everyone who placed an order on Monday during the FREE shipping sale. It was a great day because of all of you. I hope you enjoy your new "toys." Let the happy creating begin.

This card is a card that can be used for Christmas, a winter thank you, winter birthday, or a just because kind of card. Notice I didn't put any greeting on the front. That leaves it open for just about anything you may need a card for during the cold, winter months.

I love the black and white look with a pop of color. I used the Lemon Lime Twist color for this card (no surprise there for anyone that knows me). It doesn't take much of the colored cardstock, just a 2 1/2" circle of it. I used the In-color Markers to color in the sweater after I stamped it in black.

I used just a quarter of the foil snowflake behind the sweater. That's right, you can get four cards out of one little snowflake. Also, I cut the designer paper into squares and then cut them in half to make 2 triangles from each one. So there are quite a few layers on this card, but you don't have to use a ton of supplies to achieve a great layered look. Plus, the card isn't too heavy with small pieces for layers.

I love how the embossed snowflake coordinates beautifully with the snowflake on the sweater. It really brings the entire card together.

Thanks for stopping by.  See you soon,

It's Beginning to look like Christmas

Hello Stamping Friends,

I'm on a roll. I am really trying to connect with each of you more often here on the blog and so far this week I'm off to a great start. I'm letting it become a habit, you know, something I do everyday. It's so easy to fall away when you miss a regular schedule day but now that I'm back on track, I really want to stay here with you.

Today I have a Christmas card to share with you. The Seasonal Chums is a great set that has a front and back to the stamp that makes great tags or fun cards. For this I card I made a window so you can use both sides of the snowman. It's always fun to bring the outside of the card inside.

I also stamped the tree and greeting just inside the window (on the inside of the card) so you can see them when the card is closed. After cutting the window out with the square framelits, I embossed the emerald envy cardstock with the holly berry folder. Before placing the emerald envy cardstock on the card base, I attached the window sheet. You want to hid the edges of the window sheet between the two pieces of cardstock so it looks complete and finished.  I also used a little of the embossing paste on the bottom of the snowman to look like snow. The snowman is attached with my favorite: dimensionals.

Here's the inside of the card. Isn't it cute to see the "back" side of the snowman. To attach on the inside, I used regular adhesive because I didn't want it to be too bulky if I used dimensionals.

Did you make your Christmas cards yet? There's still time. I can help you with a layout and ideas if you need suggestions. Just let me know.

Online extravaganza is underway. Don't forget to check out the savings. The end November 26, 2017
