Bells & Boughs Replay

Here is another version of the card Bells & Boughs. I used the same colors as the other one, I just had a different layout. I love the clear mount because I can put both stamps on one block and stamp.

Thanks for looking!

Christmas Postcard

I believe this is my last Christmas Card for classes. This card I used the Christmas Postcard & Good Cheer Stamp Set. I changed the colors around a little and used the Riding Hood Red, Always Artichoke, Naturals Ivory, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. I also used the Petals-a-Plenty and Square Lattice embossing folders.

I was inspired by this card done by Carrie Gaskin. I was not sure if I liked this stamp set because I don't like to offer Christmas Card classes with a lot of watercoloring. She inspired me to step out of the box, thanks Carrie. What do you think?

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks,

Karen

Here is another Christmas Card. I used the Bells & Boughs from the Holiday Mini. I also used the Petals-a-Plenty & Square Lattice Embossing Folder. The colors again are my favorite this year - Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke.

Thanks,

Come to Bethlehem

Here is another Christmas card. I picked the Come to Bethlehem Stamp #120591 with Bravo Burgundy, Always Artichoke, and Sahara Sand. Even though you can't see it in the picture, I also used the homemade shimmer mist to give it a little shimmer.

PPA60 Challenge & Make n Take

Hello all -

It has been too long but I had some time today to upload my challenge and pictures for my make n' take for tomorrow's Crop. Last week I was thinking about doing a Halloween Theme. it is one of my favorite Holidays to decorate and make crafts. It just so happens that PPA Challenge is Halloween - (make sure you take a look at the other post). After playing around with my stamps and colors, I picked Cherry Cobbler, Basic Gray and Basic Black. Not your traditional Halloween colors but I do like, how about you? True be known, I am a bit of a Twilight Fan (and yes before you ask team Edward), Sookie Stackhouse - (love the books more than the show) and bottom line vampires and witches are my favorite character of choice.

Anyway, take a look at the close-ups and let me know what you think. Please if you are going to use this layout for a class or posting, I only ask that you give credit and leave a comment, I love comments. Supplies for pages are listed below.

I loved playing with some of my new tools from the Holiday Mini. Have you seen the Holiday Mini? If not, take a look at the sidebar. If you would like to place a order, feel free to, email, call or just click "Order Online" link on the sidebar.
