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

Bells & Boughs




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.
If you have any questions, please send me an email.
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.
