Winter Wishes Bear and Moose

 Hello Everyone,

Popping in to post a winter and/or coffee themed card using My Favorite Things stamps.

I have used this layout before here.  On this card I included the bear and Moose.  The images are colored with copic markers and fussy cut.  The background is cut with a Stampin Up die.  A light blue cs is used for the card base.

Just love these cute images.  Great for all my coffee lovin' friends.  And, also make great all occasion cards.

Another color variation:

Sweet Christmas Wishes

 Hello Everyone!

Here are more of my Christmas cards.  You can see that I used this design for most of my cards.  I found this layout in a Stampin Up catalog and cased it.  The background paper differs from card to card.  I used papers from various 6 x 6 stacks I had in my stash.  Many of them were from My Mind's Eye.   
All cards were made with a white card stock base.

The Candy canes and bows were cut using Cup of Cheer Die set from Stampin Up.

The sentiment is from the Cup of Christmas Stampin' Up set and is stamped in Real Red ink (SU).

On this card the background paper completely covers the white card base. And the candy canes were die cut in opposite colors: red on top and white on bottom.

Another version:

I only took a couple photos of the inside of the cards I made.  The insides are all the same with the exception of the strip of decorative paper.  I matched the paper to the front of each card.  But, I used the same stamp on all the cards.  This stamp is from Greatest Part of Christmas stamp set - Stampin' Up. 

Sending you sweet Christmas wishes!  One more post before Christmas! 

See you again soon.

Candy Cane Christmas

 Hello Everyone!

I made lots of cards using this design.  I found this layout in a Stampin Up catalog and cased it.  The background paper differs from card to card.  I used papers from various 6 x 6 stacks I had in my stash.  Many of them were from My Mind's Eye.  

The Candy canes and bows were cut using Cup of Cheer Die set from Stampin Up.

The sentiment is from the Cup of Christmas Stampin' Up set and is stamped in Real Red ink (SU)....which is the perfect red ink for Christmas projects. I used a corner punch on the bottom edges of the tag.

Another version:

I only took a couple photos of the inside of the cards I made.  The insides are all the same with the exception of the strip of decorative paper.  I matched the paper to the front of each card.  But, I used the same stamp on all the cards.  This stamp is from Greatest Part of Christmas stamp set - Stampin' Up. 

I will be back next time with a few more of my Christmas cards.  Hope your day is full of Holiday cheer.

Santa's Sweet Wishes

 Hello Friends!

Back today with another of my Christmas cards.  I ended up making around 50 cards.  All have been sent out.

This card was made with a lovely piece of Webster's Pages decorative paper for the background.  The Santa is from Impression Obsession's Ho Ho Ho clear set (retired). Santa was colored with Copics and fussy cut.

Hope your Holiday preparations are going well. And, if you don't have any prep to do, hope you are enjoying your day.  LOL!  

Sending a virtual smile!

Penguin Sweet Christmas

 Hello Everyone,

Mailed all of my Christmas cards yesterday!  Finished my gift shopping!  All done prepping for Christmas.  Well, I still have to clean my house before the big day.  I am hosting dinner this year.  Already have the menu planned and family members are all bringing a dish.  

Today's post spotlights a card I made for the penguin lovers on me card giving list.  The image was colored and fussy cut.  The background paper is from Webster's pages. Stamps on front of card are from Darcie's Homemade Cheer set (retired).

I only took a couple photos of the inside of the cards I made.  The insides are all the same with the exception of the strip of decorative paper.  I matched the paper to the front of each card.  But, I used the same stamp on all the cards.  This stamp is from Greatest Part of Christmas stamp set - Stampin' Up. 

So glad you stopped by.  See you next time with a Santa card.  Have a super day!

Merry Christmas To Owl

Hello Everyone,

Little different project today.   This is a small wall hanging quilted project.  I made two of these.  One for myself and one for my buddy, Jan.  She has already received hers, so this post will not spoil the surprise.  LOL  The quilt pattern was from a pattern book I purchased at Annie's Craft Store on line.  I used heat and bond to apply the appliques and machine stitched around the appliques.  I did a little bit of machine quilting.

I used Christmas prints in 100% cotton.  I used a recycled light weight sweater for the tree.  

    

      

So glad you stopped by today.  I will be back next time with Christmas cards.  I made over 50 cards.  I did get the photos edited yesterday.  Now I have to get them addressed and mailed.  Still lots to do.  Did my Christmas gift shopping on line today.  See you soon.

Winter Greetings

 Hello Everyone,

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the chilly weather.  I still have to edit my Christmas Card photos!  For got all about doing that.  I have been making some small quilts too and mailed two of those out for gifts.  Got my holiday decorations up yesterday.  So I am getting there.  My family drew names this year for a gift exchange.  We each buy one gift.  I plan on doing my shopping on Monday.  We had quite a bit of snow the other day, but it all melted.  The evergreens still look pretty.  

Today, I am posting a winter/coffee themed card.  I used stamps from My Favorite Things and dies from Stampin' Up.  This card is suitable for Christmas too.  Moose was colored with Copics.

So glad you stopped by today.  I will be back next time with a Christmas project.  Have a lovely day!
