Christmas Gifts...

Good morning on this last day of 2012!  Wow has this year flown by!  I'm sure most of you feel the same way too.  Well today's cards are actually gifts that I made for my family for Christmas.  I made six packs of four cards each with a variety of different sayings...and everyone a different color except I made two sets with Island Indigo.  I actually enjoyed making these cards too.  Sometimes when I'm stressed and need to get cards done I don't have any fun at all, but I really enjoyed making these this year. :)  

No boxes this time though.  I quickly packaged them up in Stampin' Up! 6 x 8 cellophane bags so they could choose the color of cards they wanted.  I sure wish the pictures turned out better because they were SO much prettier in person, but I was in a hurry to take pics they didn't turn out the greatest.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Welcome to the last Red Hot Stampers challenge for 2012!  Wow, did I have to think about the sketch this time.  I was trying to figure out what to do with it after I printed it out when I saw the sketch upside down where I left the sheet lying.  An idea came to me instantly then...pine trees in the moon light. :)   Don't forget to check out what the other Red Hot Stampers made here using this same sketch...and remember we have a special gift for you this month!

Snowflake Soiree Christmas

Well I've been taking a break from blogging this Christmas season, but that doesn't mean I wasn't still busy working on things.  This is one of the cards I made when my dad came to me a week or so before Christmas and asked if I would make a card for my mom, and I said I'd be glad to.  I actually didn't procrastinate too much on this one either...amazing!  Since her favorite color is blue I decided to use a few different colors of blue and blend (sponge) them together using the emboss resist technique.  I've already done a couple of cards with this technique lately, but really liked a card my stamping friend Christi made and wanted to add some "swirls" in with a darker blue like she did.  I love how it turned out!    

I'm also entering it into the Friday Mashup challenge #90.  This week's theme is "Snowflakes" and/or colors Whisper White, Pool Party, Midnight Muse and Basic Black.  Super close on the colors for making the card over a week ago!  

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

It's Sunday so that means it's time for another Red Hot Stampers sketch challenge card.  It's been a while since I've made a masculine card so I decided to make a simple one using something from the Sale-A-Bration brochure which can be earned starting January 22. :)  Plus I just needed a break from all the Christmas cards I've been making!  Remember to head over to the Red Hot Stampers' blog here to see what  other cards were made using this sketch.
