Merry Christmas

Hi everyone!

I am sharing a fun one layer, easy to mass produce, Christmas card using the stamps from the Stamp of Approval Candy Cane Lane Collection.  I randomly stamped the candy canes in red and green then filled in with the blue peppermint candies.  Added my sentiment in black and a strip of black card stock along the bottom and voila, finished card!  :)

I will add this over at Christmas Card Challenges: Anything Goes.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Merry & Bright

Hi everyone! 

I am popping in quickly on this Friday morning to share a card I created for Christmas Card Challenges: Anything Goes.

 I used Papertrey Ink's Splits: Best Wishes Stamp set for the greenery down the side and a sentiment from Verve.  The red dots were added using stickles for a bit of dimension and shine.

  I also wanted to share a peek of my card over at StampNation.

This week's challenge was to add a pumpkin/s to our cards.

Hello for CAS(E) this Sketch!

Hi everyone! 

 I had some time this morning to play along with the awesome sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch!

This sketch sings to my CAS heart!  I love how this leaf turned out.  I first stamped the Mini Scenery: Multifaceted stamp by Winnie & Walter onto water color cardstock.  Heat embossed using gold embossing powder then used Color Bursts to add color.  I then die cut using a leaf from My Favorite Things.  I love that the color burst powders give it a realistic look.  The colors are just beautiful here in the North West corner of Connecticut!  Recognize this leaf Michele?!!  :)

It is hard to see in the photo, but I scored lines down the front panel to represent the darker piece in the sketch.  Recognize that Hello stamp?  It is from the Hello World stamp set designed by Chaitali for Catherine Pooler Designs.  You still have time to purchase this stamp set to help a school in Boston purchase computers.  Read more here!

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!!! 

Hello & StampNation update

Hi everyone!

Did you get a chance to hop along yesterday for the Hello World Blog Hop?!
If not, you can click here for my blog post.
I wanted to share a couple more cards with you today.

I used one of the leaf stamps from the Lovely Flowers stamp set to create this fun rainbow image.  The hello is part of the Hello World stamp set with matching die and that lovely black and white stripe on the side is a new stamp from Yay! Stripes. 

Another card using the same supplies but using the hi stamp and matching die.  LOVE the little heart dotting the i!!!

 All profits from the sale of the Hello World stamp set and the coordinating dies from Saturday Oct. 1-Friday, Oct. 7 will purchase computers and other school supplies for Sean's classroom.  So cool, right?!!!

 All of the stamp sets and dies I used on my cards today can be found HERE!!
