Babies & Christmas.....

I finally made some cards today that were not for a stamp club or class. This first one is for a friend that just had a baby boy yesterday (hopefully she won't see this blog before she gets the card). It's a very simple card, but I've always loved the color combo. The Christmas card I made because I ordered the Holiday Lounge DSP months ago and I really wanted to use it already.





Paper: Whisper white, so saffron, choc. chip
Ink: so saffron, choc. chip
Stamps: wild about you, warm words





Paper: ruby red, sahara sand, holiday lounge dsp
Ink: sahara sand, ruby red

November Card Club.

This month we'll be making a coordinating card and lampshade. This lampshade is made from vellum cardstock. It is a beautiful centerpiece for christmas parties. The picture doesn't do it justice. You place the lampshade over a wine glass votive candle holder. I stamped the shimmer paint on top of the snowflakes. It shines beautifully when the candle is lit.

Paper: Whisper white, soft suede, Christmas cocoa DSP.

Stamps: Serene Snowflake

Other: Snowflake die, soft suede ribbon, brads, Shimmer paint.

Babies

a Friend of mine had a baby on saturday. Another friend is having hers tomorrow, and there's still quite a few that are expecting, so I thought I'd better start making some baby cards. Here's two of them I made this morning. I tend to make baby girl cards (maybe because I have a girl). Well maybe it's time to make some boy cards.
