This is the most recent Christmas Card I made. I wanted to try a template I found
on the Score Pal website. It is a trifold card.
I called this card "He's Making a List".
The card stock is from Amuse, the buttons are from a kit called Aspen Frost,
and the Santa stamp is from a stamp set called "I Believe"
from Silhouette Stamps.
The ribbon is something I picked up along the way, but am not sure where.
It was a lot of fun learning a new technique!!


This is the interior of the card I called He's Making a List.
It was fun learning a new design!!
The card stock with words is from Amuse, Twas the Night Before Christmas.
The Santa, sleigh and reindeer is from a stamp set called I Believe
from Silhouette Stamps.
The snow flakes are from Red Rubber Designs Vintage Santa stamp set.
The verse "He's making a list" is from Amuse's A Christmas Carol
stamp set. 


I've been busy lately creating a package of Christmas Cards someone asked me to make
for them, so I have not had much "play time".
I created this one today using card stock and Amelia paper from Red Rubber Designs.
The stamp set is called "Holiday Collages" from the Angel Company a few years back.
Unfortunately it is no longer available.
The ribbon is also from the Angel Company from a set called Juliette.
Had a lot of fun making it, but having a hard time deciding
what my Christmas card this year will be.

Everywhere I look I am seeing this Chevron style paper being used.
I decided I wanted to do some experimenting with it, so I made this card
from Amuse cs and used an Amuse die cut for the flower.
The stamp is StickableStamps from The Stamp Pad.
The ribbon is from old stock I had on hand.
Very monochromatic but I love it.


I love this card!!
I made it using cream colored cs from Marco's and brown cs from AC.
I embossed the cream colored cs using a Cuttlebug embossing folder,
and used a Spellbinders die cut for the cs with the saying.
The ribbon was purchased from Michael's.
The stamp is from Stickable Stamps that I purchased at The Stamp Pad in Kimmswick.
The pearls are from Simon Says Stamp.
Very easy to make.


I have been thinking about Thanksgiving and cards I might want to send.
I made this one using AC and Marco's cs and I embossed the green cs using a Cuttlebug embossing
folder. The stamp is from AC and I applied Washi tape from We R  Memory Keepers
that I purchased at Simon Says Stamp.
The embellishments are things I had on hand and am unsure where they were purchased from.



I wanted to make a card for my grandaughter. I call her my sunshine so have wanted to
make her a card using this Angel Co stamp set since I got it.
The white cs is Copic, the red cs is also Angel Co, green cs is unknown.
The yellow paper used for matting is from AC also.
I cut the grass using a Fiskars punch.
Everything is colored with Copic markers, and Sunshine is outlined with a
glitter marker.

Can't wait to send it to her!

Getting ready for Thanksgiving and LOVED this stamp!
I found the stamp on Simon Says Stamp, it is C.C. Designs "Punkin Beatrice".
I used old brown cardstock I had, not sure from whom. The green cardstock is Bazzill.
I used my Score Pal and followed a design shown in the Score Pal book.
I colored the little girl using copic markers and it was stamped on Copic cardstock.
The ribbon is from Michaels, and the layering is done using Spellbinders
die set.


 
I have been busy lately having fun stamping. This is another card made from the Simon Says
Stamp monthly card kit.
The cardstock was included (name unknown), paper from My Minds Eye Bright Side, Just Because stamp from The Angel Company, Bazzill flowers, Making Memories brad, and ribbon from Michaels.

 
What a cute dog stamp! I have been missing my precious Sugar lately and found this Cocker Spaniel
stamp online. It is from Art Impressions.
I also have enrolled in a monthly card kit program with Simon Says Stamp.
This card was made from papers from that kit (My Minds Eye Bright Side), Simon Says Stamp clear stamp set Shoot for the Stars, and Washi Tape. All these were included in the kit.
I loved the outcome!


 
This is a card I made recently after becoming inspired by reading Scrap and Stamp magazine.
I used Bazzill and Copic card stock, papers from Emilia, leaf punch from Fiskars,
ribbon from Michael's, and Pallette ink.
I scored the card using my Score Pal.

This is another one of my favorite male all occassion cards. I made this one a while back.

It has been a while since I have been able to post on the blog due to focusing on setting up my stamping room. I think that I am very close to being done with it. I can't wait because I have missed being able to do my favorite thing.

I have also been looking for, and recently found a new job. Will be 2 months or so of training, days from 8:30-5pm. Ughhhh! I am not a morning person. I can make the best of it for that long though, I guess.

Hope you like the card, and will try to post again sooner this time.
