Paper Players #713 and NBUS#68

 Welcome!

Today's card is going into the Paper Players #713 sketch challenge and also NBUS#68

Here is the sketch:

Below is the card that I made for these challenges.

My very first Christmas card of the season.  I'd best get busy on my stash!

For this card I used a set of stamps that I bought last year after I had completed all my Christmas cards so this is it's first time being inked up.

Card Base: Real Red, Other colors used: Basic White and Mint Melody (retired) Designer Paper from SU from a couple of years ago.

Stamp set:  Simon Hurley - Silly Santas and matching dies.

Inks: Real Red, Memento Tuxedo Black

Other: Swiss Dot Embossing Folder, Circle dies, foam tape, sequins

Getting this in under the wire so if you have questions about it feel free to email me.

Christmas Past

Happy 2022 - Welcome,  I hope you are enjoying the New Year so far. It's been a "snowy" one for our area (much to my dismay) but so far I haven't been depressed about it.

So today I'm sharing a couple of cards that I just did not have the time to post before Christmas arrived.

Both cards use the same stamp set: Gifts of Joy (2005 - SU)

Card No. 1 - This card has a "retro" feel to it.

I stamped the Santa image with Real Red ink on Basic White cs and fussy cut him out.  The Card base is Real Red layered with Crumbcake.  The designer paper is a very old DCWV holiday stack.

I used Mint Macaron card stock and a Martha Stewart punch.

The sentiment is from Tim Holtz Bold Tidings  stamp set.  I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo ink and used Circle Dies to cut it out.  I also added some tiny light green gems and mounted the Santa image with foam tape.

 Card No. 2 - For this card I went with more of a sparkly/festive look.

Card Base was, Mossy Meadow layered with Cherry Cobble and a piece of designer paper that I have no clue where it came from.  I also added a small strip of pear pizzazz.  The Santa was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink and fussy cut.  The sentiment was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink and mounted with circle dies.  I added some green sequins to the card as well and some clear sparkly glitter to Santa. (hard to see in the photo but it was very sparkly). 

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed both of these fun holiday cards.
