Blue Christmas

I forgot I had this card I made recently. I want to Thank

Laurie at Stampin & Scrappin' for chosing my name for the blog candy. I enjoyed making the postcards this year, but should have made more than 10. The link she gave was for for a second card I made but did not enter as only 1 per site could be used. But the Fleece Navidad was a single layer too! This card uses TAC sentiments, marvy ink. DWV paper and snowflake and print square under snowflake is from

The Stampin' Place. Using the Joesphs' Coat Technique.

Added silver cord around the cardstock. Have a very Merry

Christmas!!!

Single Layer #2 entry

I love this card it is cute, simple and sweet.....

Also a single layer card. Leaping Lamb is a Stampendous stamp. Holly, Santa's sleigh & moon are TAC. Letters for greeting are also TAC.

I have that kind of joy this time of the year just like the lamb!! Happy Day to all!!

Happy Holidays to All!

This is my fireplace decor for Christmas 2010!

I love the wreath we put up this year. Even the bathrooms are decorated. It's just me and Tom, but Michael, my 30 year old son comes over on

Christmas Eve and spends the night. We open giftees and eat alot of good food!!! Hope your Holidays are Merry and Bright!!! See you all next year!

Single Layer

This is my single layer card and my Christmas card for 2010.

I made a postcard only 10 as stamps are cheaper and only sending out when I get a card or send to some special friends & family.

The postcard stamp is Victorine Originals and the greeting on back and holly is TAC, also the signature is a TAC stamp too!

The stamps on the front are Inkadinkado, corner holly and Christmas Greeting. All are cloroed with Bic pens and Stardust pens. Hope you like it Lauri!

Retro Joy

I am showing different cards mades years ago, I made a couple dozen of each design and keep replensishing to have on hand. The stamp is Stampendous Vo92 Retro Joy. I used star background stamp from TAC. Colored with marvey markers and matching ink. Glazed the ornament in center after using stardust pen on dots. I sent out alot of these over the years and it never gets old.

Come back soon to see more....

Distressed Cuttlebug Thinking of You

I made the thank you card last week and thought I'd do more with thinking of you. It was good for this challenge too. Cuttlebug corners used and

in the circle too. CropStop technique on CropstopTV on embossing in the circle. Tim Holtz

Stormy Sky Distress Ink used to color, all with the foam applicator. I used a slick placemat under my work and it helps swirling the color over the card. Just wipe clean after EACH color. I also used TAC Stamp sets T-3255 Fabulous Frames

and T-3256 Savvy Sayings stamping with same ink color or sentiment in center. Used Cuttlebug to cut 3-1/2" scalloped circle from blue glimmer paper from HOTP ran it thru Xyron as embossed cards and "glue-stick" don't work well together. Cut 3-1/2" white circle with 2-1/2" circle center cut-out. Embossed with 2 x 2 corner hearts folder thru center opening. Any flaws can be

covered with sentiment piece Applied ink with foam applicator to embossed circle. I used

Nestie #4 for the sentiment applied pop-dots to back and raised it up!

I made more than one so I had some to use and share with my sister-in-law.

Cuttlebug Thank You

I saw this technique on the CropstopTV that
uses the small 2x2 embossing folders and you emboss the circle frame cut from 3-1/2" circle nestie and a 2-1/2" circle nestie. Stormy Sky Distress ink used with foam pad on white card stock. Scalloped circle using 3-1/2" Nestie on DCWV Paper. Stamp used is TAC frame for #4 Nestie T-3255 Fabulous Frames and T-3256 Savvy Sayings. Also used a white gel pen around frame. I made this for my in-laws for our gift for our anniversary Monday. 13 Years!!
