Christmas Blessings

Hello Friends, today I am sharing a Christmas card I made using a cut on my Silhouette.  It has both the outline and the shadow elements.  I added a rhinestone to the center of the star.
The sentiment is from Verve's Weary World.  Love this new set, especially the mixed fonts in this greeting.  The DSP is a freebie from Verve included in my order.  The banner is cut with a die from MFT Blueprints 13 and the scalloped mat is cut with an MFT Blueprints 20 die.  I love how this card turned out and have made several of them since this first one.

ETA:  I am linking this up at Merry Monday Christmas Challenge as it is my favorite card I made this year.  I love that it shows the true meaning of Christmas.


I am linking my card up at Tuesday Morning Sketches as it is their "Annual Anything Goes" challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day and I wish everyone a very Merry and Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year, in case I am not on here anymore this week.

Happy Stamping,

MHK Designs December Release - The Write Stuff

Happy Saturday morning friends.  Sadly, today is the last day of MHK Designs December Release and my last day as a guest designer.  "The Write Stuff" is the design we are using today.  I love all the vintage style images.

The Write Stuff Digital Stamp Set

I printed out two of the telephones, no coloring needed, and linked them together with Baker's twine.  I think the sentiment is perfect with these images.  This was a quick and fun card to do and a great way to send a sweet hello to someone special.

MHK Designs December Release - Stitched Tea Party

Good Morning Friends.  Today I am sharing another card as guest designer for MHK Designs December Release. Today is Day 3 and we have this cute Stitched Tea Party set.  There are 2 images and several sentiments.
I printed the teapot image and sentiment together and then die cut it with a Spellbinders Label 17 die.  I sponged around the image with SU Crumb Cake ink before removing it from the die.  I traced around the edge of the die on Crumb Cake CS and fussy cut it to make a mat.  I colored the image with Copics and added gold pearls.  This panel is mounted with foam tape.  The patterned paper (?) is mounted on a Crumb Cake scallop mat cut with an MFT Blueprints 20 die.

Good Morning Friends.  Today I am sharing another card as guest designer for MHK Designs December Release.

I am using an image and sentiment from Realistic Roses.
Realistic Roses Digital Stamp Set
Mynn does a fabulous job drawing her images with so much detail.  I printed the rose image out twice, one a little larger, colored them with Copics and fussy cut them out.  I only used the end rose of the larger image and mounted them both with foam tape around the sentiment panel.  (Love this sentiment from Proverbs.) It is cut with Spellbinders Lacey Circles die and mounted with foam tape.  The background DSP is from the Country Farm Digital Paper Pack, it goes so well with the colored roses.   I matted it with black CS and the card base is SU Crumb Cake.

Sending Birthday Bear Hugs

I am sharing a cute card I made for a young girl at church.  I used this adorable bear from MFT Beary Special Birthday set.  I colored him with Copics and used the matching die set to cut him out.  He is mounted with foam tape.  The sentiment is from the same same.  I used SU Pirouete Pink CS for the scalloped mat cut with a die from MFT Blueprints 20.  Sorry, I don't remember the 6x6 pad I used for the DSP, but I liked it and thought it gave a soft color palette.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
