Christmas Cards Again

Here is a card I've finished tonight, I used the bells and boughs set from the Holiday Mini last year. The ribbon is the cherry cobbler seam binding and I used the vintage wallpaper embossing folder for the background, and the sentiment is from the Sincere Salutations set. I also used some vanilla smooch spritz on it after it was done, gives it a nice glimmer. I used the sketch from the Stamping 411 site. Thanks for looking

Silver Bells

Hi Everyone, I guess it has been a while since I posted. Just been really busy. The last post I noticed was the first of the month. Well it's been a busy two weeks, I was in charge of organizing the Seniors Christmas Dinner at the co-op where I live which was this past Sat. and before that I was involved in a craft fair, which was just before the last post. And it was very successful. Anyway here is my take on the Stamping 411 sketch this week.
Thanks for taking a look.

Bells and Boughs

This is a card that I've done for the Friday Mash Up this week, I loved the sketch they gave us to work with. I used my favorite Christmas set and paper this year. Bells and Boughs Stamp set and Deck the Halls Designer paper. I took the second picture hoping that you could see the shimmer on the bells, as I used shimmer paint and soft suede ink to paint them.

For this card I used:

Stamps: Bells and boughs, Four the Holidays
Ink, Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke Soft Suede Stazon
Paint: Champagne shimmer paint
Accessories: Big Shot, Nestabilities, cherry cobbler button, linen thread, sponge, scallop trim border punch, blender pen

Poinsettia Christmas

This was a card designed using the Stamping 411 sketch this week. I would have preferred to use the Cherry Cobbler seam binding on this I think, but I haven't gotten it yet. Oh well maybe when I get it I will do a second card and see if I like it better.
