SC152 Good Friends

Good Morning! I made this card for today's challenge. I really love these two stamps together. I colored the image on shimmery white card stock using pastels. I used a copper paint pen on the edges. I'm not sure I will be using this layout for my Christmas cards for close friends but I do know I will be using these stamps.

Cut and color when needed

Good Morning! In the past I have colored and cut out tons of flowers. I never seem to have the color I need cut out. With this set I decided to do things different I stamped all the images in black stazon and cut them. Now when I need the images I can quickly color to match my project. See the pictures:) I love doing it this way I hope you will too.
Have a great day

Gift Bag

Good Morning! Well I've been a very busy girl:) Most of which I can't show you yet. I'm sure you remember the gable box and Christmas card I made earlier. This is the quick and easy gift bag I made to put all my yummy treats in. This time I cut a sheet of WW cardstock in half. I stamped all the half sheets with the words first. I then stamped all of the one step stamps on each half sheet of cardstock repeat with step two and three. For the berries I only did step one and two. By stamping all your half sheets with each step it makes this project super fast and easy. It would take forever to make this if you completed each holly one at a time:)I found the gift bags at Hobby Lobby 2 for a dollar:)You can purchase the 3-Step Holly and Mistletoe set from Maria at Kitchen Sink Stamps
Supplies used:
Gift Bag
Stamps: Holly And Mistletoe (Kitchen Sink Stamps), One Of The Joys by (Stampabilities), Itty Bitty Background (SU!)
Cardstock: Whisper White
Ink: Mellow, Garden Green, Hunter, Saffron, Real Red, Black
Enjoy the day!

Super Simple Elegant Christmas

Good Morning! As I mentioned to you before this year my Christmas cards need to be simple, and easy to mass produce. I also wanted to make cards that didn't require extra postage. I love this card design the colors are so elegant IMO:) I used Adia Cloth background stamp with versamark on hunter green card stock only for the card base. I stamped a full sheet of WW with Baroque Motifs and the berries from Peaceful Wishes. I used hunter green ink and real red.I stippled the edges with artichoke ink.
Have a great day!

Jan Scholl said...
Since I really dont do the whole family gift thing at Christmas, my favorite hand made thing to do is get out my home printed checks (I have made my own for 15 years now), fill them in by hand and then deliver them to my favorite charities the day after Christmas. I write them out on December 25 and put them in envelopes and stamp them up pretty.

Thank you all for the great gift idea's!!! They're wonderful. I'll be sharing mine with you in the next few days.

Here's my card for today's SC 149 this is a bit out of my comfort zone but I had some leftover stamped paper from the cards I made on friday. It was just to pretty to trash but really not big enough for a card. Then I remembered I'd bought a tag punch a few years back and my card was born!! I hope it looks like a gift to you lol. The strip going across the middle of the card is backgrounds and borders from Kitchen Sink Stamps. I stamped it on WW with Garden Green ink. Don't you love it?
Stamps: Mistletoe and Holly , Backgrounds and Borders Kitchen Sink Stamps,
Paper: non SU! green and red, WW
Ink: Mellow, Artichoke, Garden Green, Real Red Cranberry, Saffron
