Festive Friday

Good Morning! It's hard to believe that we're 7 weeks into 2017 already. My gosh, the time sure does fly doesn't it? I find even now that i'm home the days seems over before it has even began. A trip to the pool or the grocery store and a short walk or two with Sydney and a little stamping of course and it's bed time again!

I have a "stampless" card for you this week as i've used all dies for my festive creation. I was inspired to make this card by the Ways to Use it challenge on Splitcoaststampers in which we were to create a shaped card. This Mitten from Impression Obsession is the perfect size for a sweet Christmas Card

Although I didn't use it, the die set comes with a nice snowflake and ribbon accent

I added some dimension to the mitten by running it through my big shot with the SU! Cable Knit Sweater Embossing folder.

To embellish the mitten, I cut the holly and berries form the Patchwork Holly Die set

Lastly, I added just the "Merry" portion of the Merry Christmas Die by carefully cutting the sentiment apart. I did it in Gold Glitter paper so as to add a little festive bling!!!! I'll save the "Christmas" word for another card perhaps!!!

That's it for today! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Festive Friday 2

Good Morning!!! 

I'm back with another "Flattish" Christmas Card.

Because this one is a 6x6, I strayed away a bit from my goal and will hand deliver it.

I had coloured this sweet image from Stamping Bella using the Gingerbread House Stamp and Die Bundle. I also had a lot of this sweet Designer Paper from Stampin' Up!, which was just dying to be set to cardstock!.

I coloured the image with Copic Markers and tucked it away into my coloured image bin. I pulled it out this morning as I felt it would be perfect for the Sketch Challenge at Splitcoaststampers.

I finished it up by adding three little heart embellies that I picked up at the Dollar Store.

It came together quickly since I had the super cute image coloured!!!!

Festive Friday 1

 

Good Morning!

Are you all ready for the weekend? 

I've been up tooting around this morning and got a LOT of things done, but I'm afraid I need a little nap now.......ugh...... Lyme disease can sure keep one's energy level at bay. I want my stamina back!!!

At least I have my "Stampina"! lol

So, I'm starting a little feature here on my blog. Once again, it's not purely selfless, but rather an attempt to remain accountable to my goal of having all of my Christmas Cards completed by the end of November!!! Not only am I going to have over 50 cards complete, but these cards will lack a lot of bulk! After almost having to take out a bank loan to pay for stamps last year (saying last year sounds funny given that I bought the stamps less than a month ago.....hehe).

All of the cards with be 4.25 x 5.50 inches!

If you feel so inclined, please feel free to join. I'd love to to see your Christmas Creations.

Perhaps  we can all imbibe in a little inspiration sharing!

I hope you like this first one!!!!! 

This was a really simple card to create

Supplies used:

Holly Wreath

Holly Leaf Cluster

Merry Christmas Stamp

Hope you have a great day!!!
