Rustic Rooster Card

I had gotten the Rustic Rooster set when it was a free host set during the last catalog. So this stamp set has sat around waiting to be used for a bit. This is the card that I inked it up for.

This card almost didn't make it to the person I made if for because I liked it so much!! I know she did too! Happy Stamping!!

Merry Christmas!

Hope you all are enjoying Christmas Day! Here is my last Christmas card I had to share!

Very simple but very elegant! I love this card!! I used LOTS of shimmer spray on this one too!! Happy Stamping!

Dasher Cards

I had a friend at work that asked me to make a card for her husband. So played around with my Dasher stamp.

In real life you can see that Dasher is misted with shimmer paint spray and adds a nice touch to the card still leaving it masculine. I liked the card so much I had to make another one with a few differences.

Hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas Eve! Happy Stamping!!

Paper Ornament

I was looking to make something special for my family for Christmas. AND I wanted it to be quick and simple ... because as usual I waited until the last minute to make them. So I came up with these little ornaments.

Here are a couple of close ups of them.

I took strips of 12x12 Christmas Cocoa DSP to make them with some basic paper folding. I glued the ends together to create the circle. Then added a scallop circle and circles I punched out after stamping them with Delightful decorations. Topped it off with some red embroidery thread I had and a button. Ohh I almost forgot I added a thin line of crystal effects around the edge so I could add a bit of glitter!! Hopefully it will be add to their trees year after year!! Happy Stamping!!

Christmas Card

As usual I was behind in making and getting my Christmas cards mailed out. I'm surprised that I actually even mailed them out!! I know I'm terrible but here is the card I made this year.

I kept it simple not only because of time but so that they would easily go through the mailing system. I have had previous card get to the recipient in shreds, needing extra postage, bent and broken or just never making it at all. So this time I made it using flat layers with only one off them puffed up. To add a little bling I used iridescent ice to the tree, plus the DSP has a bit of a metallic hint to it. I love how it came out!! Happy Stamping!!

Gift From The Heart

For the last several years I have participated in a gift swap with a Yahoo group I'm with. This year as I was deciding what to do I had made this card:


I liked the concept of the card a thought it would look even better as a door hanger so I made these:



But after making these two I realized it would take me forever to make them with the embossing paste so I used versamark and embossing powder on the rest of them (like the card) and they came out super cute! I hope that they found their gift useful! Happy Stamping!!

No Stamping

I don't think I have ever made a card with absolutely no stamping on it ....

I think it came out well! I used some left over rub ons I had when I made the glitter ornaments. Happy Stamping!!
