Christmas 2019

 I'm trying to get started on some Christmas cards....
Here's one I've been playing with for a few years now and every time I try this stamp it just don't look right to me.  This year I worked at water coloring so tried it out on the stamp set.

 

The berry's are from Penny Black called "Berry Merry Christmas. And what I used  is Memento- Lady Bug on the berry's and Distress -pealed paint for the branches... Then I painted with Distress-Fired Brick over the berry's again.... Then misted it with Glimmer Mist-Gilded Gold...

The Merry Christmas die is from Memory Box called Grand Merry Christmas.

And that's it...................

Manly BD- Over the Hill????

Today post is for a Manly BD card...these are the hardes cards to make... no frills, no fancy stuff, just Manly.......
Here we go.......

This is the front... I used the wood grain embossing folder for the background and then I had a small piece of paper that had horns all over it that I used for the diamond.  The Curved Antlers are by Memory Box and the Over the Hill? is by CTMH....

and the side view show that I popped the antlers up.....

Here's a view looking down on the card.  I usually don't show both halves like this but wanted you to see the wood grain and the cut out part of the Antlers there. 

 

and here's the  complete saying by CTMH... and I added a small pices of wood paper I had to the bottom, that I just tape across the bottom so you can tuck a little something in....

1st Christmas Card for the year......?

Here's a look at my fist Christmas Card for this year..... I know what am I thinking??? But I saw one like this on Pam's "Expressions with Heart" blog and just had to try it with the dies I had....

I think I need to sponge around the outer edge yet and maybe the oval too. And work with the pine branches a little too... but other than that I think it looks almost like hers...

Here's a close up of the top.....

Not sure what I'm going to do with the inside yet... Don't want white in there,,, may just leave it craft and stamp it like that, I'll have to see...

Any suggestions??

Starting Christmas

Hi ALL...

I thought I'd show you what I've been working on.... trying to get a jump on Christmas this year...here's a few shots of my desk and the mess too.....

I did crop out a LOT of the mess.....

this is a new to me Bigz die by Tim Holtz-Holiday Wreath, I also used a TH-Embossing folder Holly Branch on the white... still have to add some bling and things this is just the base card.....Never used these Bigz dies before but like that you can cut several pices of paper at a time... still learning....

This is another TH Bigz die-Holly Branch and again I used a TH-Embossing folder Pine Branch on the white, same thing still need to add things it's just the base card.....

This is made with a Memory Box die-Frostyville Border, white on white.... not sure about the red bow yet may make it a pal blue or white with gold not sure yet .. needs some sparkle on the snow,,, but again it's just the base card.

Now I have to start finishing them off and deciding how many of each I need to make...?

Wish me luck!

Happy Anniversary!

Hi All,,,

Yep it's me again... I'm late posted the Aanniversary card I gave my hubby.  Our Anniversary is just 2 weeks after my Birthday and 1 day before Valentines day... so we kind of put it all together.

I used a few new things and a few old things for my card this year....

The new was Cornish Heritage Farms background stamp called "Trees Backgrounder" I stamped it onto the Aqua paper with Coco ink, love the look.  Then I used an old Cuttlebug frame called Grace's Frame I love this frame and have used it several times now.  Another new thing I used was a Memory Box die called Serafina Heart... then put some sparkle on it here and there... added a bow an that's it...

this side view let's you see the inside a little I just stamped the trees about one inch down the side then added my words and things...

I have never heard or used the Cornish Heritage Farms stamps before but love the quality.  This one I got from a fellow blogger that was doing Spring Cleaning and was selling bunches of her things and I just got Lucky and was able to get this one and a few others... Thanks Barbara!!

Will that's it for me today, see you later!
