Beauty of the Season

I'm late!  I'm late! For a very important date!  Well I'm not really late for an important date, but I sure am late for my Try Stampin' on Tuesday post.  I logged on to check out our next sketch thinking I'd be working ahead a little bit only to find out I was LATE! Not sure how I missed it, but thankfully I created a card for my winter stamp a stacks that is pretty similar to today's sketch and the optional theme is snowflakes.  

Make sure you stop by Try Stampin' on Tuesday HERE to check out what the other designers created.  If you get a chance to play along we'd love to see what you create!

As you can tell I used a retired stamp set and retired framelits.  Sometimes it's just nice to pull out some of the older stuff I have and see what I can create with them, especially when it comes to making Christmas cards.  I used to make the same one for everyone, but that isn't the case anymore.  It's nice to have a variety to send out. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

It's time for another Christmas card for 'Tis the Season, and this time it's a sketch challenge.  It's a great sketch to work with because it's pretty simple and was perfect for a scene I decided to create.  So there is a bit of a story to this so if you don't mind sticking with me keep reading below...

I went to Hobby Lobby last week and bought some canvas paper because I wanted to try a little bit of oil painting...yes, I'm a huge Bob Ross fan and stay up way too late sometimes watching him on PBS.  Since it's on so late I have to admit I've fallen asleep and haven't seen the final painting. lol  So this whole story really is going somewhere. lol  I had taped a second piece of canvas paper down (because I did NOT like what I had painted on the first one.  Let's just say it wasn't even a painting, although I did manage to make some nice pine trees!).  Ok..the second piece of canvas paper...I was going to try to paint again, but my kids came home and we did a bunch of chatting, so I never got around to it again.  So the next night when I went downstairs to stamp again and there sat the blank canvas paper.  I decided to us it for my Christmas card and paint the sky light blue using pool party ink and an aqua painter.  I actually didn't like how it looked at first, but was determined to use it anyway.  Once I started to build my card I was really happy with how it turned out. :)

Make sure you stop by 'Tis the Season HERE to check out all the other great cards using this sketch and to play along too.  I'm SO glad I'm a part of this challenge team. :)

Simply Winter

Today's card won't be new to a few ladies since it was one of my December stamp a stack cards.  When I make my cards for December I want a card that they can send out for Christmas or for another occasion.  I made two of these cards and one was for Christmas and the other one a Thinking of You card.  It could be a birthday or just for you card too. :)  Well that's what today's mashup from Heidi at the Friday Mashup is all about...

Create a project with a "Winter theme". 

Create a project  with "Snowflakes". 

or Mash it Up! and create a "Winter project with Snowflakes".

In this pic I'm trying to show you that the top layer of the card is actually popped up to give the card some dimension.  Guess it's kind of hard to see even in this picture.

Here are both cards that I made.  Make sure you head over to the Friday Mashup HERE to check out the other great winter cards from the design team and make sure you take the time to play along too! :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Warm and Fuzzy White Christmas

Today's card is made for this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch challenge #192.  I did take the sketch and rotate it a turn, but didn't really put the sentiment where it was supposed to be.  I tried, but it just didn't work! lol  If you want to play along with this week's theme it's "Warm and Fuzzy"  Ok, so my card is not exactly warm and fuzzy, but it gives me the warm fuzzies thinking about the snow blowing outside and me inside by the warm wood stove stamping away.  I hope that counts! :)

I didn't realize how I practically copied the colors on the sketch for my card until I put them together on my post! lol  Well, I love how it turned out so I'm ok with it. :)  Make sure you head over to Try Stampin' on Tuesday HERE to check out all the other fun cards using this week's sketch and theme. 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
