Happy Holidays Card

Wow! I can't believe it's the last hour in the month of November. The month really did seem to fly by. I wanted to share a quick and easy Holiday card I put together. There is nothing fancy about this design, but it works. All you need is a nice patterned paper, image stamp, and sentiment stamp and you'll have the ingredients to make a handmade Holiday/Christmas card. The ornament on this Happy Holidays Card was heat embossed using a red glitter embossing powder and accented with rhinestones for sparkle. The supplies for the card were purchased last year at Hobby Lobby. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Boho Blossoms Thank You Card

Good evening! Tonight I've been busy in the kitchen making pumpkin muffins and oatmeal cookies for tomorrow. While I was waiting on everything to bake I made this Boho Blossoms Thank You Card. I used the colours from this weeks ColourQ challenge and the theme from Sweet Stamps blog for this simple design. To create the center panel I punched opposite corners with the boho blossoms punch by Stampin' Up!, then I stamped and heat embossed the various colours of card stock, did a little trimming and adhered the card stock to the backside of the panel. Add a sentiment and a little bling and my card is complete. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
