Merry Monday #58 - The Magic of Christmas

 

Here is my card for this week's Merry Monday #58 sketch challenge.  Click the link and check it out.

For my card I used some older Basic Grey paper from the Wassail 6x6 pad.  I thought the presents in the background paper tied in with the sentiment.  The Magic of Christmas really is in HIS presence. 

The sentiment is from Verve's Peace On Earth Set, stamped with Mememto Tuxedo Black ink on a panel of DSP.  I used a Zig Black pen and ruler to draw the lines around the edges. This panel is mounted with foam tape. The poinsettia is from Verve's Poinsettia Christmas.  It is a 2 stamp image and I stamped the outline and flower in SU Cherry Cobler ink and cut it out.  I went over the outline with a Cherry Cobler marker for a little more definitition.  I added some Queen & Co. Sunflower Yellow Pearls to the center of the poinsettia.  I glued the top half only of the poinsettia to the entiment panel. 

The 3 flag banners are cut with a MFT Fishtail Flag Stax die from the DSP. 

That is my card.  Thanks for stopping by my blog.  I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a comment.

Happy Stamping,

Freshly Made Sketches #80

This is my card following Freshly Made Sketches #80 challenge.  I made a birthday card for a friend at church.

 

For my card I used SU Very Vanilla, Old Olive and Pretty in Pink CS.  The DSP is from Basic Grey Hey Girl 6x6 pad.  The sentiment is stamped in SU Primrose Petals ink, matted with a Spellbinder's Lacey Scallop Oval and mounted on foam dimensionals. I have had this stamp for quite awhile and it doesn't have a name on it, so I am not sure who makes it.  I tied a Pretty In Pink taffeta ribbon bow and added some pink heart buttons from my stash.  A fairly CAS card for me.

1st Grade layout



I finally did a new layout.  This is my great-granddaughter when she was in the 1st grade. She just started 3rd grade this year.  Her younger sister started kindergarten, so there will be more layouts to do.
I used all Basic Grey except for the pink stripe (K& Co.). Martha Stewart border punches.  I used my new Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge for the the titles and scallop circle.  The bling is from Michael's.
