Christmas Cards

rudolphso this morning I have a card from my friend JoAnne at The Stamp Shoppe in Schofield,  WI.  It is so cute..I love the red nose!  We have a few more Christmas cards and then a awesome sympathy card from Karissa coming up.  I have been working on the booth displays for next year so those cards will start showing up on the blog.

We got about 8 inches of snow yesterday.  It was beautiful and I even had to go out and drive in it and it was still beautiful 🙂  Needless to say we have a lot of snow on the ground.  Some years we don’t even have snow for Christmas so this is really nice.  Kevin will be out plowing for most of the day!  I think he drags it out so he doesn’t have to make stamps 🙂  Have a good Monday.

Christmas Cards

joy wreathI’ve been seeing these doors on Pintrest and have been wanting to try them!  I really love how the wreath came out on this one.  I used Lifestyle Crafts Scallop and Circle dies since they have soooo many sizes.  I punched out with creme paper and then with jelly bean green ink and our pine branch I stamped the branches.  Of course I had to include a fun cube…the sending fun cube which is one of my favorites!

Stamps Used:  F181 KB’s Pine Branch, DD59 Sending Fun Cube

For those who have been asking…I do have in stock the last three embossing folders…the candy one, the branches and the swirl.  The embossing folder with the ornaments was discontinued by Cuttlebug.  Ugh why do they also discontinue the good stuff???

It’s Friday!  With a holiday week ahead.  We have lots of family coming next week so excited!

snow2I had to take a picture this morning.  It’s snowing again!!!  If you look at the trees you can see all the snow coming down.  It is so pretty!  Have a great weekend!

Christmas Cards

white:silver tree 1white:silver tree 2We have a big day today.  Plowing all the snow!  It will take Kevin several hours to plow so I’m on my own making stamps this morning.  The house is clean and I’m ready to roll!

It’s hard to see in the picture but this card is made with shimmer paper.  The white embossed background is white shimmer paper.  The silver shimmers and then just plain white.  Makes such a stunning card.  I used Silver Metallic Encore ink.  It is one of my favorite inks.  It is a pigment ink but it dries fast.  Not as fast as dye ink  but close!

Stamps Used:  C217 Be Joyful!, G145 Dotted Christmas Tree, D253 KB’s heart flag, G83 Peace and Joy at Xmas, B146 Dotted Christmas Tree sm

Baby Cards

baby-cardWe have been very busy getting the carts ready for 2014!  It’s a big job and keeps us well occupied and out of trouble 🙂

I love the colors used on this card.  It’s such a good baby boy card!

We are getting more snow!  We’ve had to plow a couple times already.  The ground is so beautiful with all the snow.  Kevin had to shovel a path to get from the shop to the house tonight.  I wonder what morning will bring??

With Sympathy

love 1love 2good afternoon 🙂  the house is clean and it’s time to go to work!  Here is my sympathy sending love card.  I think I might try a valentine’s day card with the sending love too! It is such a useful little stamp.  One thing interesting about this card is that I used two different sizes of 3-d-dots and I don’t mean large or small but thickness.  On the flowers I put 1/16″ foam dots and then on the sending love a little higher at 1/8″  Nice to have both sizes!

It is really really really cold here!   Can’t even run to the shop without a coat.  My phone said 3 degrees today and we are going to be unloading the trailer.   Right, we should have done it when it was a little warmer but that’s what snow pants, winter boats, and parka’s are for!

Snowman, Thank You Cards

snowman 1snowman 2Monday Morning it is!  The weekends go sooooo fast!  I’m sending thanks this morning.  I really love the new fun cubes.  We are working on more too!  The sending fun cube is so useful for all kinds of things.  Tomorrow you’ll see it on a Christmas card.  Here’s what it looks like:

DD59I also need to make another sympathy card and I’m think of using the sending love.

Well it is cold here!  Minnesota is even colder and Karissa had no heat at her house yesterday.  The landlord apparently called everybody and everybody was busy.  She bought a space heater and heated up some rice pads for inside her bed.  She said it was 46 degrees in the house- that’s cold!  I hope she survived it!

Stamps Used:  JJ16 KB’s Snowman w/ Mouse border, DD60 1.00/1.25 Circles & Dots, C171 KB’s Snowflake, A212 KB’s Snowflake, DD59 Sending Fun Cube, F26 Your Thoughtfulness

We are going to be at The Stamp Shoppe in Schofield,  WI on Saturday, December 14th doing Make n Takes.  We will have 10 different Christmas/Snowman cards and a few other varieties too!  $2.00 a card and then if you are really far behind on your cards and want to make 10 of the same Heidi has a deal for you too!  This simple blue and silver card will be one of the choices.  You can do several of these in a very short period of time!  Stamps Used:  G278 Christmas Bells and C172 Merry Christmas Curved

Have a great weekend!  If you live here in the midwest keep warm -it’s really really COLD out there!
