Just Love Dasher!

Dasher was a stamp that was offered last year.  It was an individual stamp and I just loved it.  I actually have a large dasher Christmas Frame that I made hanging in my kitchen for Christmas!  I love how it has a solid image and a "sketchy" element to it!

For this card I also used the Lattice Embossing folder.  I rubbed Cherry Cobbler ink on it prior to running it through the Big Shot.  Which leaves this awesome background!

Thank you for stopping by!

Simple and Lovely!

This is some of the specialty paper that is in the Holiday Mini Candlelight Christmas Specialty Paper Pack.  It is kind of like a transparency with a felt embossed design on it!  I think it is simply elegant!

Instead of hoarding it, I decided to use one of the sheets for cards.  So, I made 3 cards from one sheet.  I simply cut the sheet into four inch strips and adhered them to a Whisper White piece of Cardstock.

Then, I used More Merry Messages to add the greeting inside the cad.  I was going to add a ribbon to the outside, but that simply took away from the elegance of the card!

Have a great day!

Fab Fri 07

This time we got a layout challenge.  Pretty simple!  This layout lends itself to mass production for all of those Christmas Cards that we need to crank out!

 

So, I grabbed my Festival Of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack and wa-la!

 

I used some Chocolate Chip Polka Dot Scalloped Ribbon and adhered it to the card and then added Island Indigo Ruffled Ribbon.  Stamped on  a quick Merry Christmas greeting from More Merry Messages and there you have it!

Another card for the pile!

Have a great day!

 

Snow Swirled

Here is a card from last Christmas.  It used the Snow Swirled Set with Marina Mist.  I used the Snow Flurry Embossing folder for the background.  Then I added some satin ribbon and a brad.

Cute and festive!  Thanks for stopping in!

Fab Fri 06

Well, I finally got around to using the Fab Fri 06 Challenge.  This time we were assigned a color challenge:

I had initially thought about being able to turn this into a Christmas card, but I couldn't resist the Fall color idea and use it with Leaves!  So, this is what I came up with!

It looks okay, but it looks much nicer in real life!  Anyway, the card served a dual purpose and is now in the mail!

I stamped the leaves.  Then water colored them with the Blender Pens and ink pads.  Then I sponged extra ink on top of them!  I also sponged the background, which was hard to capture in a photo!

Anyway, there you have it!  There are many more cards using this color scheme on the Fab Fri site at http://fabfridaystampinchallenge.blogspot.com/.

Have a great Thanksgiving with your loved ones!

Snow Much Fun.

Hello!  Thanks for checking in today!  This is a card that I actually made last year.  It was alot of work with all of the layers, but it sure is pretty!  I also colored it with my stamp pads and blender pens. 

The silver glitter paper is so pretty and adds so much sparkle to a card!  It is still available this year in the Idea Book Catalog.  The paper is very easy to work with and is a great addition to your collection!

Have a great weekend!
