Here are our cards--Enjoy!

Snow Swirled Christmas Card

Today, I finally had a chance to play with my new Christmas set. I didn't want a Christmas card, but rather a winter card. I want to go back downstairs and spruce it up a bit, but that will have to wait until the kids are in bed.

Recipe:

Stamp: Snow Swirled

CS: Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue, Whisper White

Ink: Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue

Accessories: Bashful Blue DSP, embossing folder, Chocolate and Real Red grosgrain ribbon, gold brad, dimensionals, 1 3/8" and scallop circle punches.

From Our Hearts/Cards For Troops


Yesterday, I did something that made my heart feel good. I received a box from my sister the other day , and it had 22 placecards in it that were left behind after the concert. She was sure that I needed all my little soldiers back and that I would find a good use for them. Lo and behold, an email comes into my inbox from a fellow SU! Demo talking about From Our Hearts (cards for troops). I contacted Martie Shea, the founder, and she said she would be happy to take all the soldiers. I spent a little time putting a base and sentiment on them and ran them into the post office and they are on their way to good homes. :) The entire time--I'm thinking how good it feels. If you want to do something good for your heart take a look at the FROM THE HEART or another charity of interest. Like Martha Stewart says, "It's a good thing."

Christmas Quilt Cards




I love making these quilt cards. They are so simple and look amazing when they are finished. I am a little messy with the 2 way glue, but it is so easy to get the squares stuck down tight and you can wiggle them into place if they are a little crooked.


I am trying to use up some old DSP--I didn't think I had a lot until I started finding packages stuck here and there when I was moving into my Stampin' Room. NOW I know I have a problem--I had to have a 'paper hoarder', because I AM a paper hoarder. LOL The addiction is not limited to paper; however, so I need to stamp to make room to buy new things. It's a WIN-WIN situation right there!
Ohh, I am looking for creative ways to mat the SU! wide oval...any suggestions? It's a little plain w/o something behind it, but I was completely clueless on where to go w/ it.


Recipe:
Stamps: All Holidays
CS: Whisper White, Old Olive, Bravo Burgandy, Bashful Blue
DSP: Holiday Thyme
Accessories: ribbon, SU! brads, flower, snowflake punch, SU! Top Note Die, 2 way glue, embossing folders
