It's beginning to look...

Like CHRISTMAS!

I've been working on Christmas cards for this year. Here's just a few I created this week. Some were inspired by Pinterest. Others are from my own imagination.

This 1st card was created for a challenge for a group I belong to on FaceBook. We could only use blue and white. Nailed it!

Echo Park Paper Co. - Hello Winter Collection of paper and stickers.

#2 was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest. The teardrops are actually the wings from Stampin' Up! Bird Builder Punch.

#3 Inspired once again by Pinterest.

#4 Was created using the dies from Stampin' Up! Santa's Sleigh and the stamps from Santa's Sleigh. This card opens to the full width of 8 1/2 ".

the middle is open to display a dangling ornament. 

#5 is my own design. Stampin' Up! Stamps Beautiful Season and Dina Wakley Scribbly Birds for the sentiment on cover.

Inside sentiment is from More Merry Messages from Stampin' Up!

#6 Another of my own designs. Decorative vellum is from the Stampin' Up! Holiday catty.

The poinsettia is a sticker.

Sentiment inside from SU More Merry Messages.

#7 Inspired by something I saw from Echo Park Paper Co.

Dies are from Poinsettia & Pine by Jolie from Essentials by Ellen.

Inside sentiment is from SU Versatile Christmas. Lace punch on decorative paper is from Martha Stewart.

Hi There!

Well, I had a few evenings to play this week, just by my lonesome.
So I perused Pinterest to get some ideas and I came up with these cards.

This one was for my monochromatic board on Pinterest. This was all done in Stampin' Up! Hunter Green.

This was a sort of challenge proposed to me by my dear friend Debbie Segler. 

The card above was stamped with Versa Mark, then dusted with Perfect Pearls. Lovely.

This card was stamped using the same stamps and Versa Mark. Only this time I used embossing powder and heat embossed.

So I like both versions. However, if you use Perfect Pearls you need to use some sort of sealer so that when you pick up your card and you stick your thumb on the image you don't come away with half of the powder.

NOTE**** For both of these cards the stamping was done on SU! Vellum.

MoJo 341 - CurtainCallInspirationChallenge

This card was creating for 2 challenges MOJO MONDAY with Verve and Stacey's Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge -- Confetti Crush. I used very old stamp from Conners Collections to make the flowers. I stamped them in Versa Mark then heat embossed with white embossing powder. Then I used my Copics in 3 shades each of pink, blue and yellow. The leaves are punched from the Build a Bird punch from Stampin' Up! I colored them with 2 shades of green Copics. The polka dotted velum is from Stampin' Up! The sentiment is from Sweet & Sassy Stamps #1074 Easter Lily.

Thanks for Looking.

Christmas Card Challenge #44 - Anything Goes!!!
I used real red cs with a piece of multi-red striped vellum. I ran the vellum through my Cuttlebug with a candy embossing folder. I added a piece of a doily. I borrowed the stamp from my friend Deb, but I think it is from Close to My Heart. I stamped the trees onto white cs with Fern Green Archival ink. I added Ranger Pearl Paint ruby red to decorate the trees. Real Red grosgrain ribbon and a Stampin' Up! embllishment and this one was done.
