Peaceful Season Card - Week #6 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas

This card reminds of patchwork quilt.  I used our heartfelt hexagon punch to out the designers series paper.  I liked using the take a bow designer paper to create this card.  I used 4 different patterns of the paper.  So if you are like me and have some designer paper you haven't used up yet, pull it out and you can use it. I also punch out 2 modern oval pieces to layer behind the die cut.  This helped to have the die cut stand out more.  The only stamping is the greeting and the inside of the card.

Peaceful Seasons - Week #5 of 12 Weeks of Christmas

This Christmas card is a elegant card.  It is a easy card to create.  I used the Season of Elegance specialty designer paper and I embossed the greeting to match the gold in the designer paper.  This designer series paper includes paper with the real red, old olive and pretty peacock to make cards with these colors.  This paper is using our basic beige in the sheet that I used.  I like the look of the new beige color on this card.  One of the first techniques that i learned when I first started stamping was embossing.  My first Christmas card that I made was a angel embossed with gold powder. 

What was the first Christmas card that you created?  

Winterly Tree Tops Card - Week #4 of 12 Weeks of Christmas

This card has a single bird that I colored in with watercolor pencils and then the blender pen to give a soft coloring to this card.  I also used the our foam adhesive strips to give the frame some dimension on this card,  The background is a little darker but it makes the bird on the branch with the leaves really stand out.  
Do you need a card during the holiday season to send to a friend?  You could also put a different greeting on the card and use a Christmas card.

Shepherd's Care - Week /33 of 12 weeks of Christmas

Thank you for visiting today.  Please leave a comment on what is you favorite stamp set from our holiday mini catalog.

More Thank Autumn - Hot Cocoa Card - Week #2 of 12 weeks of Christmas

 The fall and winter season is hot cocoa time.  This is a great card to send to a friend to encourage them or to invite them for hot cocoa.  Another idea would be to include a gift card for a free hot cocoa drink.  This is a autumn themed bundle but if you use holiday colors and greetings, its a great holiday themed card.  It's fun to look at stamp sets and see different ways to use them.  

I hope you enjoyed the project for today.

Winterly Tree Tops Christmas Card - Week #1 of 12 weeks of Christmas

Today is my first week of twelve weeks of Christmas.  I will be sharing 12 different projects for the holiday season.  I am a little late in sharing my projects, so I will be posting more Christmas projects until I catch up.

This Christmas card is a fun card that I colored the bird in with our watercolor pencils.  I wanted a soft color for this card, to watercolor pencils with the blender pen gives  you that soft coloring.  I used our Spotlight on Nature dies.  I think these dies are one of my favorite dies from our annual catalog.

Stampin' Up Bee My Valentine - Happy Birthday Card

One of my favorite bundles in the mini catalog is this Bee My Valentine bundle.  I will be honest and share that when I received my mini catalog and I was going through the catalog and this bundle was not on my list.  I usually don't send out too many valentines cards, so I was not going to purchase this bundle.  Then I saw how other demonstrators were creating such fun and cute cards with this bundle and then I had to buy it.  

I have had so much fun creating some cute birthday and thank you cards.  I even used this bundle for my thank you gift project for my orders for the month of March.  This birthday card is a bright and cheery birthday card.
