Merry little wish....

Hello!  We are having a major snow storm here in Minnesota! I had to leave early from visiting my sister this weekend because of it. Bummer!  But, we are safely home, and the boys have just returned from their deer hunting trip as well.
I have been quite busy working on my Christmas cards these past few weeks as well as making some crafts to sell.  I finally had a chance today to take a picture of one of the cards  I am sending out this Christmas:
Pretty straight forward stamping for this card. I love the FESTIVAL OF TREES stamp set! We made a cool gift card box recently on  Hostess club night, and I have made several versions of it to bring to work to sell.(pictures to follow on a later date). Love stamp sets that have matching punches! It really makes stamping a breeze!

I stamped the trees from the Festival of Trees stamp set in Garden Green ink onto Garden Green cardstock.  Then I added the ornaments  and tinsel stamps using Cherry Cobbler ink.  My color theme came from the Trim the Tree DSP.  No extra color thinking needed! 
After assembling it, I added Silver Sparkle and Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details glitter.  I also added a few silver sequins from the Frosted Sequins embellishments to give it a finished festive touch

Thanks for stopping by! I hope I have encouraged you to 1) buy the Festival of Trees stamp set; and/or 2) make your own Christmas card! 

Happy stamping!

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

 Happy Sunday!  Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :)  I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  The Impressions  a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set.  Here's my 2nd go. Soft pastel colors? Count me in!  And these petals exemplify the softness you can achieve with the Impressions a Bloom .  For these flowers, I stamped 2 in Peach Pie ink followed by Timid Tiger ink. The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp. Next, I d...

Perfectly Pears for Sunday Stamps!

 It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Yahoo!  I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge.   For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears .  This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous.  For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
