Reindeer Pair

Good Morning Ladies,
Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Time sure does move fast these days. Next it will be Christmas. I'm sure glad the weather has been great.
The card for today is Reindeer Pair

The background for this card is gold cardstock from the Paper Cut and Martha Stewart paper from my stash. The reindeer were created using a Tesslers die set that I purchased at the Fort Wayne show. This is a smaller version than the size I had originally saw at Tesslers. The reindeer were cut form gold cardstock and then backed with brown cardstock. They were then hand cut around. Rudolf has a rhinestone for his nose.

The star was cut from a the Stamps of Life star die set. The sentiment is from Inkadinkado.

Center Step Wedding Card

Good Morning Ladies,
I am cruising right along getting cards done. An ornament here and there. I had dog that didn't feel well this weekend. So it was home time for me.
I always have people asking for wedding cards. I can't ever remember if I have any in the shop at 7th crow in La Porte, IN up on Licolnway. So I am going to try to stock up on wedding cards. So the card for today is Center Step Wedding Card

This card was created using a Cheery Lynn center step card die. The printed cardstock is from Close To My Heart. I love their paper collections and the quality of the paper is superb. The wedding couple are cut from a Memory Box die from metallic cardstock. The vines are also cut from a Memory Box die in the same cardstock. The flowers are from Prima with pearls for the centers.

This is the inside sentiment. It is from Heartfelt Creations.

Perfect Pair Ornament

Good Morning Ladies,
I know I have missed two days in a row. Last week was just a draining week for me. Yesterday I had my friend over to stamp and she lit me up. I am ready to stamp gun ho!
The project for today is Perfect Pair Ornament

This ornament was created on a paper mache' base. The foil cardstock is from Create and Craft. The mittens are from the Stamps of Life set mittens2stamp. I am a die hard member so I get a set of stamps and matching die cuts each month. I have been a member for three years and have not been disappointed yet. Fiber was used to finish this ornament off with jingle bells. I love jingle bells...it is the kid in me I guess.

Normally both sides of my ornaments are the same. But with this set I used the perfect pair die.

The side of the ornament is covered in glitter.

Gel Press Polar Bear and Matching Envelope

Good Afternoon Ladies,
I plum ran out of time to blog this morning. So I am getting to it now.
The card for today is Gel Press Polar Bear and Matching Envelope

The background for this card was created using the Gel Press and acrylic paint in two colors. The snow is Soft Snow Twinkle Flakes. This time they were applied with Yes paste. I think I like the Yes paste over the two in one glue for this application. The polar bear image from Whimsy Stamps was stamped on watercolor paper and colorized with watercolors. The star images were stenciled on using a Joggles stencil, stipple brush, and dye ink.

The inside sentiment is from Inkadinkado.

This is the matching envelope using the second pull from the Gel Press. White gel pen and stickles were used to sketch the address area.
