Another Winter Cheer Card

I really like the way this one turned out. It was a cute idea to add the clouds at the tree tops. I stamped a sentiment inside that reads Merry Christmas! The image was stamped on white card stock and then mounted up on cranberry colored GKD CS.

Thanks for stopping by today!

The new StampTV kit--- isn't this snowman cute?!

This card was made yesterday with the supplies from the new StampTV kit, in addition to a few other things like the ribbon that was on my desk!

Thank you for visiting! This is the first Christmas card I have made for this season. I hope I am motivated to keep being ahead of schedule.

Oct. 23, 2014 A New GKD Design

I made this card yesterday afternoon, after the arrival of my new stamps from Gina K. Designs.

This was a CAS card, using Ocean Mist Cardstock, plus other pieces of CS that were on my desk. I stamped using Memento Black ink, and colored the image with my Copic markers. I like that this was so quick to make!

STV14MON41 Challenge for StampTV

I am trying to get back in the groove of playing in Challenges once again, and just maybe I can get started on my Christmas cards. I used Melanie Muenchinger's Pretty Patterns stamp set, as well as the Merry Little Christmas stamp set by Gina K's STV kit from October 2012. I added the rhinestones for some bling, after I colored some circles with Copic markers. I mounted it on a Spellbinder's Lacey Circle, that was made with GKD cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by!

Love this little guy! (Gina K's Bounty of Blessings)

Good Morning !
I made this card for a dear sweet friend of mind! This little fox is from Gina K's
"Bounty of Blessings" stamp set. I mounted him up on CS and corrugated paper,
to create a lot of texture. In addition, I used a Spellbinder Lacy Oval in Green CS, behind
the white focal point circle. Some silk flowers were added to make this card a little feminine
looking too.
