Stamping 411 Challenge


I missed last weeks sketch cause I couldn't see very well do to anything due to the Iritis I have, I still have it but not near as bad and it's not hurting anymore, so I did do the challenge for this week.
As soon as I seen the sketch before I looked at the design teams cards I knew I had to use the delightful decorations set. I think I will try another one later using something different. but I have to finish making coat hanger Christmas trees first, as I want two of them for gifts for people at work. I like to give handmade gifts when possible. Anyway here is my entry for the first one, I also used the short and sweet set for the words. The swirls are the swirls die by sizzix.
Thanks for looking see ya soon

Double Gatefold Card


Haven't been doing a lot this week due to a problem with seeing, I've got what is called iritis, it is an inflamation of the iris part of the eye, I'm on cyclogel and prednisone drops for it, which is helping, but it takes time. I seen the specialist today and instead of taking the prednisone drops every hour its now every two hours and I go back to see him next week. So it's difficult to concentrate on anything with it causing my vision to blur.

This is a double gate fold card that I did today. The front is the first picture shown, then the second is the inside after you open the front, and the last picture which has the shadow is the inside with the verse.
The outside is done with the serene snowflake set, the inside is done with the snow swirled set, The saying says: May the true spirit of Christmas fill your heart with peace, your home with love, the other words underneath is Season's Greetings from the snow swirled set. The designer paper is from the Merry Moments set. All the stamping was done with versa mark and embossed with Gold embossing powder. and there is a gold ribbon on the outside to tie it all together. The card stock used is very vanilla and old olive. Also used the eyelet border punch on old olive strips and attached to inside panel with snail adhesive.
Thanks for looking.
