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
Stamps: Delightful decorations, all holiday
Other: silver cord, brad, Frost white shimmer paint

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.


Card Recipe:


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


Stamps: Serene Snowflake


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



November Page Club.


These pages look very simple, but I used the shimmer paint on the snowflakes it looks a lot better IRL.


Recipe:

Paper: kraft, bordering blue, very vanilla, and
Bella Blue DSP.
Stamps: Serene snowflake, Holy family, and Defining alphabet
Other: Sizzlits snowflakes die, very vanilla grossgrain ribbon, transparency paper, Brads.
