Even More Simple Cards

More pieces on my table. The sentiments are all from Papertrey Ink. The dies are all from Taylored Expressions.

I have five of this design, in whites and silvers and light blues.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Another Simple Tree Card

The tree was on my table, as was the die-cut rectangle. I put them together after matting the rectangle. :-)

Christmas in Green

I had these patterned paper pieces on my desk, so I used them for another card for next year. I matted with a green foil cardstock, which I also used for die-cutting the sentiment. I also added three scored lines on the sentiment piece.

Penguins in Blue

I really don't want my scraps and card parts to pile up, so I'm trying to keep up with them. These blue plaid pieces have been on my table for a little while, but now they're gone! The stamps and dies are from Simon Hurley and they are popped up on foam squares.

The die-cut oval on this one was also on my table. The image is popped up, but nothing else.

Christmas cards are going out in the mail today. The house is decorated. And most of the presents have been ordered. Yippee!! (We don't have many people to buy for - just the kids and grandkids.)

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Lighthouse - Times Five

I happened across this lighthouse stamp from Impressions Obsession recently and left it out on my desk to use it. I stamped it five times and made these five cards. I love the monochromatic-ness and simplicity. I finished each of them off differently with different sentiments.

I still don't have my Christmas letter written and we haven't done ANY decorating! At least the cards are all ready to go. :-)

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

More Christmas Trees

I made two of these cards for next year. The patterned panel was made with a Lawn Fawn stencil. I matted this layer with green and gold. I put gold under the die-cut tree and popped it up on foam squares. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Christmas in Green and Gold

Two more Christmas cards - for next year. I just can't stop! Not much to them, but I think they are very pretty. I matted the layers with gold. The trees are die-cut and layered over the same gold foil and popped up on foam squares.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Sending Joy

Two more Christmas cards for next year.  I saw this layout on Wanda's blog and I thought it was so pretty I had to make a couple, even though I didn't have time. They were quick, though!

The tree die is from Taylored Expressions. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn. I made one with a white base and tree and one with an ivory base and tree. I sponged a little bit of green on the ivory tree. I also embossed the first sentiment with a bit of sparkly embossing powder.

Have a Mice Christmas

I finally had a little time to do some creating, and this is what I came up with. I dug through my box of items to use and pulled out this stencil set and stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn - from the class I took over a year ago. The mice images were already stamped, colored and cut out. I made a frame for them to land on - they are popped up with foam squares. The background was stenciled.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

December Calendar Page

And my final calendar page for 2025 - can you believe it?? The embossed panel is part of a Darice folder. It's matted, and that's it! I hope everyone is ready for Christmas and can sit back and enjoy the season.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

More Re-Purposing

The flowers (and the little butterfly on this first card) were fussy-cut from a thank you card that we received. I love the colors and they matched so perfectly with papers from a recently received paper pad. The sentiment is from Gina K.

Same papers and flowers and the sentiment is again from Gina K. I added the flowers onto a die-cut oval.
