Wishing You a Merry Christmas

Hi there Everyone
Whew, its good to be back in blog land today. I have been busy with behind the scenes things, teaching classes and life in general. And we all know how life gets in the way from time to time.

Today I want to share a cute odd shaped Christmas card, and with Christmas getting closer, you will probably be seeing more Christmas cards from me. I know I have card classes slotted in October and November and the cards are Christmas themed.

Isn't this the most unusual shape for a card. I love it. I decided to use a Christmas/Winter theme on it, Hey, check out those designer papers, they are not holiday oriented. But I think everything works great together anyway.

This is a fun card and it certainly is a funky shape. When you open the card, the inside can house a gift card.This card shape can be perfect for anytime of the year,(gift card or not) but especially the upcoming holidays.

Here is a view of the card opened.

I love these odd looking card yet they are so so easy to make and it fits perfectly in an A2 envelope.You just have to love these kinds of cards

Hi Everyone,
Last week I was really busy getting ready for my class last Saturday over at Simply Said Rubber Stamps, so I was MIA for a while. I will be sharing with you later this week, the 2 cards that I taught in my class.

Today's card uses a stamp from a  Penny Black stamp set that I just bought. The whole stamp set is gorgeous.Four different flowers and dragonflies and a butterfly are in this set.

Don't know if you have used Gelato's yet, Oh my. I love them. On this card I used the gelato's to make the background and to color the flowers as well. Gelato's are a fun and fabulous coloring product.

My techniques class in July at Simply Said Rubber Stamps will be spotlighting these versatile little lipstick-like tubes of yummy colors.It's going to be a fun class, for sure

I took pictures of my card getting prepared for this post and in reviewing the pics, my card felt somewhat naked without a bow, so I added one to finish off my card. So now the card looks finished to me.

LET ME SHARE WITH YOU THE SUPPLIES  I USED ON MY PROJECT
