Last Christmas Cards of the Year

This first card is made with a brad -

The Paper Studio

And on this card, I went back to die cutting stars and using glitter paper.

Wee Christmas

   It has warmed up outside to just above freezing, so the snow is melting away.  For those of you concerned that there will be no snow left for you to come here and shovel -- fear not!  The weather forecast is for 10 fresh inches at the beginning of the week.  Still perfect weather for making Christmas cards for this December.

Here's to Celebrations!

Bildmalarna Monochromatic

This little 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card is done all in cardstock (my fav), no designer papers, please. The image is from Bildmalarna. The verse from a House Mouse and Friends set by Stampabilities (I've seen this verse around a lot lately). The inside includes a quote from Samuel Butler, "How dear to this heart are the scenes from my childhood." The disappointing part of this simple card is the paper that the image was stamped on. I tried some new paper and I am just not happy with it. The image isn't as blotchy as the scanner makes it look, but it wouldn't hold up to close scrutiny either. Ahh, well...

Sister of Mine

This is a Penny Black stamp colored with Copic markers and backed with flocked paper by Little Yellow Bicycle. The brads by Spare Parts are also flocked. The pre-made card is from American Crafts. The stamp used inside the card is by Stampabilities: "I'm smiling because you're my sister I'm laughing because you can't do anything about it." A sentiment that anyone with a sister understands!
