Two More Valentine Cards

I haven't planned out our Christmas card, but  I made 2 more Valentine cards for our military.

I just love the deep embossing of our Stampin' Up! Big Shot embossing folders!
Have a happy day!

One Sheet Wonder Swap Cards

This past summer I was in a One Sheet Wonder Swap, where you repeatedly stamp a whole sheet of cardstock, in effect, creating your own patterned paper.  The sheet can then be cut into pieces and used in a variety of ways on cards.  So I started making Valentine Cards for our military people and used some of my sheets.    The last is my favorite.  Although I don't own the stamp set used for the background, I found the I Heart Hearts stamp set looked great with it.  I am anxious to get back to stamping and use up the other sheets.  Have a blessed day!

My great niece and great nephew are so cute!

Here are pictures of Evie and Branigan.  They are a few months apart and remind me so much of their mom & dad (my niece & nephew) at that age.  They did get a little rough with the playing, but each gave as good as they got!

And they also harassed Mandy a little, but she figured it out quick that she had better defend herself!
So much fun to watch all the babies.  Well, you know, until they start crying....

Using up those scraps!

Everything except the card base and button were in my scrap pile!  I am proud of myself.  I love all of the Stampin' Up! embossing folders.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving, yall!!

Just Believe in Blushing Bride

I needed just the right amount of blush!  As in Blushing Bride In Color!  This card uses more of the prizes I won in the VC Rocks! contest this summer: 

In Color cardstock, DSP, and ribbon.

Just Believe Stamp Set

Hmm... I forgot which stamp I used for the Thanks sentiment.

This close up shows how I colored on the stamp.  I used Pear Pizzazz and Blushing Bride markers.  I then added a little of Regal Rose marker around the outside of the flowers.  I think this helps it to stand out more.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

French Foliage Love

I'm lovin' it!  French Foliage stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog is so pretty.  And I am not a leafy kind of person.  I love to make the collage background with this stamp set.  

Peach Parfait! Yum!  I am so glad I won a VC Rocks! contest this summer.  The prize I received was several items in the new In Colors:  DSP, cardstock, and ribbons in all 5 colors!! Wow! And now I will definitely be buying these ribbons.

The heart and word love are rub-ons that are retired.  I tried punching out words to put over my "splatter circle," but I just wanted to see all those splatters.  Stampin' Up rub-ons are perfect for this.

I hope you like my creations.  Have a great day!

Christmas Postcard Challenge

I have challenged myself greatly with the Christmas Postcard stamp and the Deck the Halls DSP.  It's not really my style, but it is nice vintage Christmas, so I took the leap.  My coloring wasn't so great, so I decided to stamp it on the DSP and I really like the way it looks.  I am also seeing that crafters have embossed with this stamp, so I will try that next.

Have a blessed day!
