Merry Christmas

Since I have been working on my Christmas cards I decided it was time to share some of them.

This is a pretty simple card with a little stamping and some die cutting and embossing.  It doesn't show up very well in the photo but the layer of white cardstock has been embossed with the Jolly Holly Hybrid Embossing Folder.  It just gives the card a little bit of added dimension.  I think it turned out to be a very elegant card.  I love the traditional red and green Christmas cards.

I should be in Adel watching the kids today.  Instead I am sitting in my living room watching basketball and working on stamping projects.  The weather sort of changed my mind for me.  They have a weather advisory starting at noon and we have one starting at 6:00 tonight and I didn't really want to chance having bad roads on the way home.  I decided I worked hard to get healthy I wasn't going to do anything risky so decided to play it safe.  Hanna and Jake were able to make other arrangements at the last minute for which I am grateful.

Every day is a gift . . . make the most of the gift you have been given today!!

Happy Stamping!!

Peace On Earth

Today's card is a sympathy card i received in a swap somewhere.  I hate making sympathy cards, but it seems as if I am sending more and more of them out.  They are one type of card I like to always have on hand because I cannot sit down to make one when I need it.

This card uses the peace on Earth Suite.  The designer series papers are layered on a Thick White card base and layer.  This suite also contains the glimmer paper that is layered across the middle.  The sentiment is stamped in Secret Sea and fussy cut around it.

As soon as I am done posting this John and I are off to yet another appointment.  At least it is warmer than it was yesterday.  I promptly  came home and curled up with my blanket to get warm and fell asleep.  When I woke up it was time for supper, so I got no stamping done.  I am hoping to get some done when we get home this afternoon.

Delicate Framing

Today's card is another one that features the Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper and is a Cards in the Mail this week.  I got this card from my friend, Susie, as a swap in Las Vegas.

This card features two of the colors that coordinate with the paper . . . Calypso Coral and Petal Pink.  This is a pretty card with basic layering.  the Petal Pink layer is embossed with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder.  The bow was made by separating the petal Pink Braided trim into individual strands and then tying the bow using two of the strands.

BRRRR . . . it certainly is cold this morning, but I am afraid it will get a lot colder before winter is over.  As soon as I am done posting this i am going to warm up the vehicle because John and I both have appointments this morning.  Luckily they are in the same place and close in time to each other.  When we get home I am burying myself in my blankets and either working on my Christma card or taking a nap!!

Delicate Framing

Today's card is another one that features the Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper and is one of this week's Cards in the Mail.

I love how the paper all coordinates well together and you can mix and match your patterns in many different ways.  This card is on a base of calypso Coral, but the paper also looks great on Strawberry Slush or Petal Pink cardstock.  Choices are always good.  You can also change out the sentiment and use it for any occasion you might like . . . birthday, thinking of you, friendship . . . the possibilities are endless with just a few supplies and this layout.

Today is going to be a stay at home day as we have appointments for the next two days and then I am going to Adel to watch the kids while Hanna and Jake have an appointment.  As old as it is going to be, I am just fine staying at home!  I am planning on going through my stamp sets and dies and pulling the ones that went on the Last Chance List yesterday.  As long as that list was, I hope I have some things left!!
