Christmas Post

It's time for another ANYTHING GOES challenge over at Sister Act Card Challenge. 

Come on over and join us. :) 

All Dressed Up is our sponsor this week.

Thanks, All Dressed Up!

(They also have a challenge blog that you can check out HERE.)

I used 'Christmas Post'. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils. I used my Shapeabilities Label 8 dies to cut my image and mat. The green card stock was from my scrap stash but I think it might be Green Galore from Stampin' Up. I loved how bright it was next to the red and black. Even though the card has both red and green, I don't see this as a 'traditional' Christmas card. A little more updated and modern version of traditional. :) 

The designer paper are from Cosmo Cricket's Jolly by Golly mini deck (red snowflake paper) and Doodlebug's Halloween Parade pad (black polka dot paper). You can't rely tell, and I only succeeded in tearing the paper but I embossed the Doodlebug paper with my Cuttlebug Snowflake embossing folder. The card base is Neenah Desert Storm card stock. 

The bling-y brads are from my stash and probably one of the first embellishments I have ever bought,  about 10 years ago. :) I added Diamond Stickles to the snowflakes on the image. 

I haven't found the holiday sentiment I wast to use yet, so I will add that later. 

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

I used Newton's Nook stamp set 'Wagon of Wishes'. I love sets like this because they are good for so many different occasions. I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Simon Says Stamp 120lb card stock and colored it with my Copic markers. That's it. :)

Apple Cupcakes from Woman's Day

In honor of the first fall-like day here in Houston, a fall card. 

I used Newton's Nook stamp set "Newton's Holiday Mischief" .  I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Simon Says Stamp 120lb card stock and colored it with my Copic markers. I added red baker's twine from Martha Stewart and popped it up on a Stapmin' Up Close to Cocoa card base. The sentiment and leaf stamp are from one of my favorite sets by Stampendous called 'Everything Happy'. 

Thank you for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.
