Die Hard kit of the month (December I think)

The Stamps of Life by Stephanie Bernard, I love flowers this was a quick grab and make! Some sets take me awhile to get to but not this one.

ATC Swap Graphic 45 January edition

This month's theme is use your favorite paper. Ouch, who wants to use their favorite? Don't we want to keep it forever and not cut it? LOL! I ordered another pack, that solved that. So here is what I did. I made cards to hold the ATC's as well as the ATCs themselves. I am happy with how turned out, I got to highlight the pretty birds in this pack. The card is a die and the ATCs fit perfectly on it. I made it so you can slide the ATCs out and put them in your ATC book. The card could then be reused by making another image for the centers.

Happy New Year 2020

Here is a New Years card I made for my nephew and his wife. It is made because we went to Chinese for dinner and I had this Chinese inspired stamp sitting around (it was a freebie given to me) so I colored it and put this together. I am pretty please with it! Didn't know what I was going to do with this stamp!

Merry Christmas

My favorite card this year, to hubby ❤️

Christmas cards and a birthday

I think these are the last ones, except my hubby's card. The little fox is so cute I had to make another card with him. The trees and sentiment are in the same paper pack - I've not used printed sentiments like this inside a card but I added the Merry Christmas stamp in the same color and it seems to work. The paper pack is called Let it Snow by Kaisercraft. The next card is MFT Selfies again and the paper is from Gina K. The last card is MFT dies and I sponged the sky with Distress Inks. The birthday card is for my BFF, she has a Christmas flamingo and even though this is a birthday card I wanted to add the santa hat. Hope she likes it! Merry Christmas!

More Christmas Cards

I am slowing down, I need to do at least 11 more cards, yikes! Running out of time. These are all I did this week. CASEs of other cards with my adjustments. If you want any info on the paper or stamps just leave a comment!

Christmas Cards 4

These are sort of CASE'd, I was inspired by some cards and made similar layouts. The fox is such a cutie! It is by Stacey Yacula who does some stamps for MFT but this wasn't one of theirs. Pine cone set again, love it! and the Elfie's from MFT - I need to make more of those, fun!

Christmas Cards 3

The first card is for the ATC Swap Hostess. It is the same Graphics 45 Paper pack as the others. The next two are CASEs, the tag is a shaker tag. It's real sparkly in person! The card is from the pine cone set by The Stamps of Life. It is the best pine cone and branch set!

December Graphic 45 ATC Swap

This is for the December Graphic 45 ATC Swap. The 6 together are the ATC's, the top three are all shakers! I made 2 for each person and I will receive 2 each from 3 people, not necessarily the ones I am sending to. I decided to make three Christmas cards as well for them. All the same Christmas paper pack by Graphic 45 called Christmas Magic.

Snowy Fox

Love this paper collection. This is no stamping and coloring, feeling like I am cheating! I haven't decided what sentiment to put inside yet. Anyway love this so much!

Christmas Cards 2

Still working on random Christmas cards! I have quite a few to go, Ive only made 14 so far. The first card I bought the Penny Black Stamp called Winter Tide after watching their video on how to stamp the tree. It was so amazing and I was so impressed I purchased all the ink for it (it was archival ink which I never use in colors). I have made two images with it now, it is very frustrating and it doesn't look near as good as hers! (of course). I ended up using Wink of Stella all over the main tree so the second picture is trying to show the beautiful sparkle. I embossed the greeting in gold. Then there is the MFT Selfie set, so much fun! The last is that same snow globe but I cut our the scene and put in my own. Was easy and I love that shiny blue card stock! The last one is Snowy once again. I used chunky glitter on the red in his hat - he is so adorable! Last is MFT Yeti and a Christmas die set on an embossed snowflake background.

Christmas Cards 1

Getting started on my Christmas cards. These are a few, I will post more as I get them photographed and uploaded. The snowman is Snowy from Penny Black, old stamp but still adorable! The snow globe is just a cheap one from amazon - the dies in the first one are a Hero Arts stamp and die set. The Yeti is from My Favorite Things and its a shaker.

ATC Swap

I haven’t done an ATC swap in over 10 years! I joined yet another group on Facebook and they announced a swap. No theme this month, just have to use the paper - Graphic 45. So here are the ATCs I made.
