Happy Holly-Days

How are those Christmas cards coming? I am working slowly on getting ahead for the coming season. I hope that you are making some headway on getting those cards ready to go.

This stamp set was part of the July--December mini catalog. It's called Happy Holly-Days. I have a weakness for holly on Christmas cards. This set also has a beautiful bird. You can see several cards I made with the bird HERE.

This set was part of a bundle that had a coordinating punch. The punch created a holly border. You can see how the punch worked on the bottom of this card. I added some Real Red cardstock to the back of the Basic White so the holly berries are red. The holly on the top of the card was stamped with VersaMark and then I used some Mossy Meadow and Poppy Parade pastels to color it.

Seas the Day

The March Class At Home featured the Seas the Day bundle. I LOVE the ocean. This set was one that was easy for me to know I had to purchase and get creating! I have plans to create a few more projects with this set but I have taken on some extra responsibilities at school for the next couple of weeks which will require more time outside of the school day. So, we will see if I am able to get some more done.

I did some block and marker stamping to create this card.

Driving By

This cute little car set will look fabulous no matter what colors you use. Driving By was only available during Sale-a-bration but I think several last minute orders have been delivered in last couple of days and why not still stamp with a fun set?

I wanted some more masculine cards so I chose the color palette of Pumpkin Pie, Pale Papaya and Basic Black. I used the Birch background on this first card. It felt like the road to me. The bug has some presents on the top of it on the stamp. I used a post it not to cover them and then inked up the stamp. I then removed the post it note and stamped the image on my cardstock.

Queen Anne's Lace

Every week for my weekly e-newsletter I create a color combination. Many I find off Pinterest, some from other challenges I see, so from items others have created and others from clothing and the things around me. I'm not sure where this one came from but I love the playfulness of this set of colors.

On Saturdays, I share these colors on my Facebook page. When I shared this one, someone asked me to share some examples of this color combination. I will admit that I don't always use the color combinations that I share. I would like to but time just doesn't allow me to complete all of them. I had that day fairly free so I pulled the colors and a stamp set I haven't used yet and here are my creations!

Driving By Scrapbook Pages

How about these pages? I think they turned out so adorable! The Sunshine & Rainbows designer series paper brings me so much delight! The bright colors are so happy and fun.

The clouds were fussy cut from one of the pieces of paper from the pack and then adhered with dimensionals. The cars were fussy cut out after they were stamped. My bus was stamped on Basic White cardstock and then again on the rainbow paper. Both were fussy cut. I only cut the bottom portion of the van from the rainbow paper and adhered that to the top of the Basic White van.

The rainbow was also fussy cut. The corvette had balloons on it that I just didn't cut out after it was stamped. The ribbon on the bottom is wrapped around the edges. I then made a bow and added it to the top of the ribbon. The squares on the bottom are 2" square. This is a fun way to show lots of designs of the paper.
