Vintage Christmas Tree

Hello!  Today I have a card to share using a stamp set from Darcie's called Mistletoe Kisses. LOVE this vintage looking tree.  I stamped the tree in Artichoke ink, and then used my Prisma pencils to color in the ornaments and add some brown accents. I also used some Vintage Christmas paper from My Mind's Eye. Inked all of the edges with Old Paper Distress ink.  The tree frame was cut using a Spellbinders Labels Twenty.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

TSOL: Merry Christmas Lights

Hello! Today I have a card using the fabulous lights4Christmas set from The Stamps of life.  I also used the coordinating die set to cut my lights and the banner.  The inside of the lights are paper pieced with scraps of paper.  The wire was created with baker's twine.  I inked the edges with Old Paper Distress ink and I also scored some lines to create a frame in the background.
I always hate untangling and checking all of my lights when decorating for the holiday.  It is definitely my least favorite part of decorating!

TSOL: Celebrate!

Hello! Today I have a card to share using The Stamps Of Life minibanners2cut set.  This set has a variety of sentiments that match the banner dies in the Christmas light die set.  I used Stephanie's Clearsnap inks in Licorice, Guava, and Tangerine.  I also used the Sizzix zig zag circles framelits for the black circle.  The satin rose was on my desk, so I added it, too. :)
To get the larger "splatters" I simply unscrew the nozzle from Stephanie's Spray inks, and flick the little tube across the cardstock.

Heartfelt Creations: Have A Wonderful Christmas

Hello! Today I have a simple Christmas card using products from Heartfelt Creations.  I love the Christmas Card collection and the wonderful papers that make card making quick and easy. Who doesn't love quick and easy cards for the holidays when you are making so many?  What I love about this collection is it allows you to keep it simple, or you can add embellishments to make it your own.  I kept the simple layout and a very mailable card by adding a few holly leaves in the corners and used sequins as my berries.
Sequins are great way to embellish and they still mail well!

You can find the instructions and products for remaking this card on the Heartfelt Creations blog.

Heartfelt Creations: Sweet Juliet Collection Debut

Hi, there!  Today I would like to share a mini album I made using brand new stamps, dies and papers from the Heartfelt Creations Sweet Juliet collection.  I love all of the elements in the Antiquity paper collection. They were so perfect for a heritage album.  I also love the beautiful flower die that is made so that you can use a brad to hold the flower together in the middle! Genius and so easy to make and layer.

Cards for a great cause!

Hello! Today I pulled out some of my old Unity stamps to create this fun card.  I made it for one of the Hope You Can Cling To challenges on Splitcoast Stampers.  In case you don't know what HYCCT is all about, it is a card drive for the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.  The cards are donated to help lift the spirits of women fighting breast cancer.  They can use them to send to loved ones, or their friends and family can use them to send to the patients.  What a cool cause, right?

I was inspired by the following photo from Pinterest for this challenge:


I paper pieced the couch, pillows and frame using Sugar Chic paper from heidi swapp.  Added some velvet ribbon for the "carpet" and some sequins to glitz up this very girly card. :)

Thanks so much for visiting today!

TSOL: Happy Fall!

Hello! It feels like fall around here, so I thought it fitting to share this card today.  I used the thanks2fall set from The Stamps Of Life and the matching die for this card.  I splattered some Old Paper distress ink over the card with a wet paint brush and added some baker's twine at the top. I also inked the edges with the Old Paper distress ink.  I stamped the sentiment in chocolate ink three times. To get the variation in tone, I simply kept stamping without inking the stamp back up. 
A quick and easy card to celebrate my favorite season!

TSOL: lights4Christmas

Hello! I wanted to share a card I made using the new release from The Stamps Of Life, lights4Christmas.  I used the matching die set for the lights and paper pieced them.  I love the sentiments that come with this set, too! 
The green twine is from The Twinery.  I used Tombow Multi to adhere it to the card base.  I usually apply it in the pattern I want my twine to be in.  I let it dry a little, so it is slightly tacky, and then I adhere the twine.
I am glad to have more "crafty" time now that the boys are back in school.  We had a fun filled, busy summer, and I am thankful to be back in a routine of sorts!

Thanks for stopping by!
