Archives for December 2009

This card is so quick and fun to make! I don’t know why the coloring looks so bad in this photo, but it is very vivid and pretty in real life. This is definitely one of those cards where the picture doesn’t do it justice.

A Flower for all Seasons is the set that I used. It is a great little set and it is one of the items you can get for FREE  with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration!

Yes! The most wonderful time of year for stampers begins January 5th and runs through Mar 31st. This year, in addition to the fabulous exclusive products that you can earn during this event, you may also choose any set from the big catalog that is $15.95 or less. That gives you about 50 more sets to choose from! Isn’t that amazing?  Oooh, it is going to be the best Sale-A-Bration yet!

For this card I cut the window using the Movers and Shapers Bigz die and then embossed it with the Petals a Plenty folder and the Big Shot. The image was stamped and punched using the Curly Label punch and layered inside the card on a layer of Old Olive cut using the top note die.

Today’s card is another simple card using the Delightful Decorations set. I love this striped paper from the Merry Moments DSP. I think this combo screams “festive”.

As I said, very simple. The leaves are die cut with the Big Shot and the ornament is stamped and punched. I used some Chunky Essentials mixed with Dazzling Diamonds for a snowy look on the leaves.

This is a really fun little card that goes together in a hurry! You only stamp the sentiment. The holly leaves are punched ovals with snips taken out with a 1/2 inch circle punch to form the leaf. Easy and fun.
