PPA230 Dash Of Joy

Playing with the Endless Wishes set for a simple card this week as we have a sweet color challenge!  I guess I think of sweets when I hear Baked Brown Sugar!

I did a little sponging around the vanilla for an extra "frame' and a vintage look!  I hope your Thursday is wonderful and thanks for stopping by!

Merry Monday #137 Snowbuddies!

I love this stamp set and try to play with it when I can!  So when I saw birds as the challenge, I had to pull it back out and use all of them in a scene!

I colored with markers and sponged a little Soft Sky on the top for sky or snow.

I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!

PP224 Homemade Holiday

I really liked designing this card.  I told myself I wanted to use the Holiday Home set this week because I have hardly touched it since getting it and the matching framelits dies about three weeks ago.  So excited to see that this challenge was perfect for using this set!  I played straight down the middle with transport(Santa's sleigh), embossing (Lucky Stars emboss folder), and die cut (Homemade Holiday framelits dies for houses). 

I was inspired by a card over at Jan Tink's blog stampspaperscissors.typepad.com.

She did  more heat embossing and coloring but I liked the houses stamped in Real Red on Crumb Cake.  I embossed the sky with stars and gave a scene that I will probably send as a Christmas Thank You so need sentiment on the front for now. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed Tuesday!

Festival Of Trees Tags

More tags for upcoming Christmas tag class in a week!

I focused some examples with the Festival of Trees set and the tree punch.  When I saw these in the Holiday catalog, tags were the first thing I thought of for buying this set.  I have enjoyed making lots of cards this year with this stamp set though!  I plan to keep and use for several years...retired or not!

Have a blessed Monday and Happy December!

Large Event Cards Day One

I designed cards for a ladies event at a local church a couple of weeks ago.  I kept them simple and used some current and some retired products.  I will post today the first 9 of  18 and the second half tomorrow for inspiration. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Purple and Silver Tag

Preparing for my Christmas tag class coming up in a week.  I designed this tag to show as an example.  I will make several similar to this for my own gifts because my Christmas tree is purple and silver along with all the gifts I wrap.  I usually have no problem finding some purple wrapping paper, but this year I have not seen any as of yet.  No problem on the silver wrap!

I hope your Black Friday goes well.  I will be out shopping with my best friend and my college girl!

Thanks for stopping by!
