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...................

Happy Anniversary

 Hi All,
Long time no see......
I've been looking just not posting... no time...but I just had to take a few mins to show you the card I made for my Honey...

 

I'm so glad he really Loved it too ..!   On the inside I typed "I love you because you don't treat me any differently that you would a queen".... 

These deer are a Christmas set from Penny Black called Forest Friends / 40-077. And the rest came from a Just Rite clear set called Elegant Celebrations. Then a little washie tape and sprinkles and I'm done....

It really came together quite fast once I got going with it.

Christmas ??????

 Will this last few day, maybe a week off and on I've been trying to use some of my Christmas stamps that I already have...and not been able to use or make work and look good....
Here they are............

Yes the middle one I think is a keeper........ and the Holly branch is going to be used too, that's just a single layer there but may make the card just like that... not sure..
But the Berry branch, now that's a whole nother story.... I just have to work with that..Got it a few years back (and LOVED IT) and every year I try it... so far no luck . I looked it up on line and found a few great ides but need one that is Quick and easy (for me)... but I'm not giving up.

Bet you all are in the same boat, Right?

Dustin's TWO

No it's not Dustin's BD, I'm just way early....... this is for his BD in December.....But I found this CUTE little boy blowing bubbles and it looked just like him.  So I had to get it and made his card right away. 

I so enjoyed coloring him too... he really does look like little Dustin..

 

Here's a close up of the layers and the bubbles, I put 2 layers of Glossy accents on the big bubbles and there real deep. 

And here's the inside,  I reused the same papers and die cut some clouds...

It was really very simple, but it looks very nice.

 

Will that's it for today... What do you think?

Today I'm showing a new stamp I got by Penny Black called Oscar... I had Oscar digitally and tried coloring him a few times and his face would always bleed and look bad... So when I saw Oscar in a Stamp I had to have him.....
Here we go,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Is he not just the best looking old fart ever......?  

Here's a little closer look from the side......

and a close up too.....

I made this for my hubby, his BD is in a few days and was so glad to find Oscar for his card.

Merry Christmas 2

Hi Everyone!

Here's my second Christmas Card..... the Candle (by Penny Black stamp) and Merry Christmas (by Just Right) were both Gold heat embossed. Used a Just Right border from the set of Months and I just did the Merry Christmas out of the 15 & 50 point Special Occasions fonts in the center. Stamped it twice, once on the green and once on the red and then used Spellbinders Classic Large Ovals # 2 & 3. The border is a Martha Stewart Border punch.

this is a close up, you can see where I used dimensionals to border and the candle.  And of course I used the Bow-Easy for the bow.

For the inside I placed a border down the right side and add my verse (by CTMH Peace on Earth D-1243) in the middle

Hope you enjoyed today's card, I had fun making this one...

The size of the completed card is 5.5 x 4.25 and will fit a A2 Envelope.

This card with decorated envelop cost 3.50/each, and like anything hand made no two will be alike, maybe very close but can't promise.

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!
