Hello stampers!

This is a card that I like to think of as a little something old and a little something new.  The old part is the  bit of Midnight Muse card stock that I added to the top of the card.  I loved that color and the envelope that holds all of what I have left is always next to my desk just in case I need this exact shade of blue!  The something new are these fabulous new dies from Stampin' Up!'s 2015 Holiday Catalog!

I have created this card for the CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge.   You can click on the picture below to go to the challenge blog and check it out.

Here is a close up of the top portion of the card. To create the snow on the Garden Green card stock, I first sponged on some Whisper White craft ink.  Then I used my glue pen and some Dazzling Diamonds to add the glittery edge.  I made a bit of a boo boo when trimming the ends of my paper - lesson learned on that one!

Today I have a Christmas card to share with you.  This one was a lot of fun to make! I also got to use up some scraps which always makes me a happy camper.  I really do not use Wild Wasabi as much as I should.  It's a great color for holiday projects! I am also entering this for the Merry Monday Challenge #128!

See the little scrap of Brushed Silver???

Hi Stampers!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I spent my Saturday on a tube floating down the Delaware River with my hubby and some close friends.  We had such a good time!  Then we were off for dinner in New Hope, PA.  I order garlic-truffle potatoes with my sandwich.  I love, love love truffle oil.  So yummy!  

Well, enough about what I ate!  Today I have the first of many Christmas cards that will be posted over the next few months.  I made this card with the new Christmas Bliss photopolymer stamp set that is available right now from Stampin' Up!  It has a lot of fun sentiments and images to make fun cards, gift tags, gift card holders, etc.  Lots of uses for your holiday projects!

I stamped the stars in Encore Silver.  After they were dry I cut them out with the Star Framelits.

The sentiment was stamped in Real Red ink.  I then punched it with a 1.75" circle punch.  That was matted on a Real Red circle I cut with the Circles Framelits and then all of it was layered onto a punched scalloped circle.  To make it even cuter, I added little polka dots with a white gel pen.  It's all attached with Dimensionals over a piece of Mossy Meadow ribbon.

Of course, I decorated the interior of the card as well. This stamp set has a lot of sentiments for BOTH the exterior and interior of your cards!  I love that.  Then I added a few red stars just to keep the theme going on the inside.

Here are all of the supplies used to create this card!  If you would like to come an stamp a card like this with me,  email me!
