Late night or ealy morning post

Hi All,
As I sit here in the wee hours of the morning I realized that I never posted the card I made for a friends upcoming stamp a stack! I had gone on over to Pals Paper Arts and they had this great sketch:
Here is what I came up with:

 

I absolutely love combining silver with Pool Party! I used a base of Whisper White with some Winter Frost DP, some of the beautiful silver ribbon and foil paper and stamped the sentiment in Silver Encore ink. Love the colors!! Thanks for stopping by!

CAS'ing Christmas

Evening All,
I wanted to share a card that I will be offering at my next stamp a stack. First I needed a sketch so I went on over to Cas Colors and Sketches Blogspot and they had a great sketch:

Here is what I came up with:

 

I embossed the sleigh from "Open Sleigh" in pewter and used a piece of the Winter Frost DP. Love it, simple but eye catching! Have a great night!

Open Sleigh

Hi All,
I was actually able to get some extra crafting time in today and finished my sister's Christmas Cards. Here is what I came up with:

 

I heat embossed the sleigh from the Open Sleigh set in Pewter and layered it on the Labels Framelits. I used the canvas ribbon on layers of DP, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. I love how heat embossing an image can make a simple card elegant! Have a great week!

Mojo Monday on a Tuesday

Hi All,
Got home from work today and decided that I would post a card I made based on the sketch over at Mojo Monday :

 

As I am quickly running out of time (believe it or not!) to make my relatives Christmas cards I thought I should get a move on and add to the meager collection I have been able to make.



Here is what I came up with:

I am awaiting some of my new toys from the Holiday Mini and thought I would use some old favorites before playing with the new! I used the Festival of Prints DP with layers of Cherry Cobbler that had been run through the Tulips EF and some Lucky Limeade ribbon I had. The stocking is from the now retired Open Sleigh and the greeting is from Petite Pairs. Now I can check another one off my list! Have a great day!\

Merry Sunday!

Morning All, 

Up early this morning so I thought I would share another card I am going to have my stampers make for my upcoming stamp a stack. 

I have been on another vintage kick and knew that I wanted to use more of my Deck the Halls DP. I combined the DP with the sleigh from my Open Sleigh set and heat embossed it in pewter. Absolutely love the effect! Added some sponging and Crumb Cake Seam binding and I am good to go! Email with any questions or if your interested in your own stamp a stack!

Go Pats!

Merry Friday!!

Morning All,.
Well I did it!! I finished my great aunts Christmas cards!!! Yeah!! Late last night I was motivated to finish her last pair and decided to check out Freshly Made Sketches and was not disappointed!!

I decided to use some more of my retired DP, Frostwood Lodge and here is what I came up with:

I mixed some of my retired with some of my "new" toys and used the Wood Grain EF on the Whisper White Base and added the stocking from "Open Sleigh". Love the rustic feel!! Have a great Friday!

Merry Tuesday!

Hi All,
Quick post this morning. I wanted to share another Christmas card that I made for my great aunt.

I continued my combination of old with the new. I used my retired Deck the Halls DP and combined it with my new "Open Sleigh" set and Holiday embossing folder. I cut out both the oval and stocking and spritzed the oval with the Vanilla Shimmer spray. Some lined thread with the "Tiny Tags" sentiment and I was done. Love the vintage feel! Have a great day!!

"Rustic" Mash-up!

Hi All,
Crazy busy couple of weeks! I guess nothing new there! I was lucky enough to attend my grandmother's 100th birthday celebration yesterday and was thrilled that she loved the Thanksgiving cards I made for her to send out! I just realized that my great aunt's 101st b-day is in two weeks and I haven't finished her Christmas cards!! Eek! So I had gone on over to The Friday Mash Up and they had an awesome challenge!

So here is the "Mashup" Challenge:

1. Make a project with the "Sketch".
2. Or Make a project with the "Starburst technique".
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a project using the "Sketch and Starburst Technique". 

I chose to mash it up!! Without further adieu here is what I came up with:

This is my first try at the starburst technique and I love it with the rustic look of  the Frostwood Lodge DP (retired) and finally inked up my new Christmas set "Open Sleigh", a little Bakers Twine in Early Espresso and I done!! Hope she likes it!
