Fresh Prints DSP Sneak Peek Card

The last day of the year is almost over! I hope you had a wonderful 2013 and I wish you the best for 2014. This Thinking of You Card was made with almost all new supplies by Stampin' Up!. I really love the colors in the new Fresh Prints DSP (132996) it will be available starting January 3rd and although the Serene Silhouettes stamp set (127324) has been around for awhile, it is new to me. The sentiment stamp is from the Sassy Salutations set (132070) and the butterfly is from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set (132058). Other supplies used include: Bitty Butterfly punch (129406), corner rounder, 1/4" stitched Real Red Grosgrain ribbon (126875), Classic Stampin' Pads in Real Red (126949), Crumb Cake (126975) and Coastal Cabana (131175).

Handmade New Year's Card

Hello! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend! My crafting buddy was sunning himself in my craft room, so I couldn't resist hanging out with him and making a card. This Handmade New Year's Card was inspired by the photo challenge at Just Us Girls. I kept the design casual to play along with CAS-ual Fridays Happy New Year challenge.  I went with a monochrome brown color scheme. You can't really tell from the picture but the light tan is a glitter card stock by DCWV, which adds some sparkle. The clock patterned paper is by Karen Foster and the text print paper is from Stampin' Up!. The New Year sentiment is from a clear mini stamp set by KaiserCraft (CS926). There are only a couple of days left in 2013 and I hope you enjoy them. Thanks for stopping by!

Layered Snowflakes Thank You Card

It's time to write my thank you cards for all the lovely presents I received at Christmas. This Layered Snowflakes Thank You Card was made for my brother and sister-in-law. They bought me several punches for Christmas and I used one of them to create the small Island Indigo snowflakes in the center of the layers. I used my Big Shot to die-cut the larger snowflakes. The base snowflake is a die-cut by Sizzix (656731) and the silver glitter center portion is a retired die-cut from Stampin' Up! All the papers and thank you sentiment stamp are by Stampin' Up! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

Greetings of the Season Card

Merry Christmas! I hope you enjoy time with your family today. Our family gatherings are all done and it's just the hubby and I at home today. We are having a very quite day and that gave me some time to make this Greetings of the Season Card. I used the new Petite Petals stamp set and punch from the upcoming Celebrate the Everyday catalog from Stampin' Up! The stamp set and punch will be available beginning January 3rd. I used the Top Note die and colors in Garden Green and Real Red. The sentiment is from the retired Greetings of the Season stamp set and the final touch was the addition of Rhinestone Basic Jewels. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Wrapping Paper Christmas Card

What do you do with all the small scraps of paper from wrapping presents? Well, I decided to use them to make a Christmas card. When I was younger I used to make collages out of the wrapping paper my presents came in. My family used to get tired of me going slow so I could "save my paper." It's fun to make a card like this and could be a wonderful craft project for kids. All you need is scraps of wrapping paper, scissors, and glue sticks. Thanks for stopping by and wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
