Merry Christmas

One last card before Christmas! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, full of the love of Jesus!

Canvus stamp a must have!!!!!!!!!!

If you don't have the canvas background stamp, get it! Seriously it is a must have, I have used mine over and over again, it is my very loved background set.
Other must haves:

With Gratitude ( leaves )
Bronc Buster ( horse, I love this set, I use it often when making male cards)
Wonderful words
Baby Jesus is Born

There are others that I love also but these are my favorites. You would be surprised at how many people frantically look for these sets after they retire. So if there is something that you think you should get, there is no better time then now. Free shipping, and 10% off of all retired sets, until Dec 23, I will put my order in on the 22nd.

Having fun!

I love making cards that I don't have to mail. If the envelope is to thick or too heavy the post office charges twice as much for postage. So I have learned the hard way, that when you are making over 20 cards they should be simple without a lot of layers or embellishments. So now I can have a little fun. For the snow effect I used liquid appliqué.

On Angel wings

This is also a well loved Christmas set. For this card I used:

Paper: Bravo burgundy,Brushed gold, and whisper white
Ink: Gold and versa mark
Accessories: Gold stretchy cord and I sprayed the entire card with gold glitter, you can find this product at Wal-mart in the craft section, it is just called "Spray Glitter".

Flaky Friends

For this card I used the designer Christmas paper in the Holiday mini. This has been the most used stamping set. My next favorite, which I haven't bought, YET, would be the Holiday Lineup in the fall and winter 2008 catty; so cute!

Christmas Cards!

Well, it has been a long time since I posted. I made 7 calendars for Christmas presents, this took about one month. Everybody loves getting them and I think it is one of those things that once you start you can never stop.
Anyways here is the main Christmas cards that I did this year. This is a combination of several different cards that I saw on Splitcoaststampers.com.
I cut the oval with my coluzzle cutting system. I stamped the skaters and then colored them in with my versa marker, and then clear embossed them.

I used the brayer to create the mirror image. Sorry I am really bad at doing tutorials they require a lot of time and I admire those who take the time one of my favorite blogs is Zindorf, There is a link under my fav. blogs.
