Merry Monday#217 Winter Post Card

I went vintage and this is the first set that pooped in my head.  

It is a retired SU! set called Winter Post and I love it!

I started with the Post Card stamped in Soft Suede

 and the post mark stamped in Crumb Cake.

I stamped the script from By The Tide. 

 If you read closely it is talking of pink sea shells! 

I then sponged the edges in Soft Suede and used a distressed tool

on the edges. I stamped the couple in Cherry Cobbler.

I mated it to look a little like a frame picture. 

I also used some retired card stock-naturals vanilla.  

I only have a few pieces left of it but miss it and the naturals white, too!

I hope you can play along with the challenge over at

PPA322 Thoughts Of Comfort

I wanted to use my Cable Knit 3D emboss folder so I started with 

it with Delightful Dijon card stock.  I added my ribbons in Mint Macaron

and Rich Razzleberry.  I had not used the sentiment here yet and thought it 

was a perfect chance since the cable knit seems comforting!

I hope you can head over to palspaperarts.com

and play along. 

Thanks for stopping by today and have a blessed Thursday!

Gingerbread Man Bags for Card Class

I decorated bags for my ladies to carry their cards 

home from Christmas card classes this week!

I buy the bags at the Dollartree 3 for $1.00. 

I used the Candy Cane Lane DSP as background.

I used the largest banner die cut. 

I used three different retired Real Red ribbon (one shown here).

I stamped the gingerbread man from the Cookie Cutter Christmas 

stamp set and used the matching punch. 

Hope you enjoy your Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!

Great color combo!  I started with the Mint Macaron

DSP and card base. I wanted to keep it light. 

I used the Paisleys framelits dies to cut the flowers 

and then the stamped leaves. I added enamel dots from the spring catty in 

Mint Macaron. 

I hope you can play along with these awesome colors and join in

PP316 Enjoy The Ride!

My mind should have went to leaves and such when I saw this
color challenge, but it went to the Born To Ride set.
It was probably the orange and black!
It worked out adding in that green, too!
I am glad they choose Wild Wasabi.  I like it and do not use it enough.
I try to grab it when I can.
I used the bricks from Ghoulish Grunge and the  stamped the
motorcycle over even though you can see through to the bricks some.
I stamped the badge in Stazon Black and then punched it out.
I stamped it out again in Wasabi and cut the middle banner out.
I then trimmed around the first banner so I could punch
one in Basic Black to layer behind.
I hope you can play along over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com
this week!
Have a lovely Monday and thanks for stopping by!

Tidings of Comfort and Joy

This is the last card for my October Christmas card classes!  

I have to say it should not have been so hard to create 

but I had too many ideas I wanted to do with this set!

I added some DSP for that Garden Green color with the Vanilla and Real Red.

I first stamped the sentiment I really love in the right corner 

and then stamped the branches in Pear Pizzazz coming from the left top corner.

I then added the pine cones stamped in Chocolate Chip on Kraft card stock with the 

Garden Green pine branches die cut. The Real Red bow is also die cut from the same 

die set called Pretty Pines thinlits dies. 

A quick pearl finishes off this pretty pine card!

I hope you have a lovely Sunday and and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Saturday!  

This is my 4th card for Christmas card classes in October!

I embossed the background with the Pine Bough emboss folder

in the holiday catty.  It is hard to noticed tucked in stuff on page 20. 

I took a sponge dauber and rubbed Old Olive ink over the branches.

I stamped the ornament in Elegant Eggplant and cut it with the matching dies.

Used silver foil for the topper and silver ribbon for a cute bow to finish it off.

I really like that I can combined a set that carried over to 

this year and a new emboss folder!

Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!
