Hand Penned Holidays

Wow it has been a long time since I was here. Life sure has a way of distracting you from what you would really like to be doing.

Please continue to pray for my daughter Laurie and husband. They are at Uof M Medical Hospital today to see when they will do his stem cell transplant. It has been a long, grueling road so far and they really need some relief. She finally got to have some fun yesterday with her first card class in Michigan. They did a Christmas Stamp-a-Stack and that was so good for her. She needed the deversion.

This card is the first of my November card class. We had such fun and we also had one new person come and we so enjoyed having her. We made the last of the Christmas cards this month as next meeting will be closer to Christmas, so we did 4 Christmas this month. I hope you like them and will use them to make your own.

Card Recipe:

Stamp set: Hand-Penned Holidays (I love this one)

Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and 1 3/4 x 4 1/4, Holly Berry Bouquet DSP 1 3/4 x 5 1/2, Very Vanilla 1 1/2 x 4

Ink: Black Stazon

Accessories: Cherry Cobbler Scalloped Dotted Ribbon, Big Shot with Elegant Lines Embossing Folder, Always Artichoke Seam Binding, Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots

I just love this card, simple but elegant looking. In club for December we will make the box that matches this card (designed by Sandi McIver). Sandi is such a great person and does some really beautiful designs. I just love seeing all she makes.

Thanks for stoppin in and I'll see you soon.
Stampin' Hugs,

Butterflies

It is another cool day and I'm just wanting to curl up with a good book but work must go on. I have been going through past card class creations and putting cardstock inside and getting ready to send out some birthday cards. I really have been lax in sending cards out lately. Thanks Ronda for reminding me this morning about Thank You cards also.

This is another creation for our May card class. I used the Big Shot and the Beautiful Butterflies Die with Basic Black Cardstock and Vellum Cardstock for the butterflies. I also put the Vellum ones through the Big Shot with the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder. They came out so pretty. I then put 3 Basic Rhinestones down the center of them for the body. Cool look!! I used Basic Black and Certainly Celery cardstock and Certainly Celery DSP. Simple and Clean but very pretty!





Hope this inspires you to create your own simple and clean cards. They are sometimes the best.

Thanks for stoppin in! See you again real soon.

Hugs,
June
