Another Cardinal

This is another card I've done with the Cardinal Christmas set. I really love this set. Anyway Julie and I decided to do the Sweet Stop Sketch challenge and they had a twist on it, which was winged things. So I decided on the cardinal, Julie did a beautiful butterfly.

Ho Ho Ho

Well I guess there are a number of us getting into the spirit of making Christmas cards or at least trying to get a head start on making them. This card was done for two challenges and it uses the new designer paper, as well as the new ribbon, and set Jolly Old Saint Nick from the Holiday Mini catalogue which just was released on the first of Sept. So far I must say that this is the best Holiday catalogue I've seen. There is something for the cute, something for the young and young at heart, and even some of the old vintage style stuff. Also Stampin Up has come out with some really nice fabric to enjoy doing your holiday sewing as well. So if you need anything or want to browse, just click on the picture of the catalogue and it will take you there.
This Card was inspired by the sketch at Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge, and by using this paper and design it called for Distressing which is what Stamptacular Sunday challenge is wanting us to do this week.

Sweet Stop Challenge 68

Hi All this was done in conjunction with the Sweet Stop Challenge #68, As soon as I seen the sketch, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.
The stamps I used were Upsy Daisy and Silhouette Sentiments ( Hostess set)
The paper is from the Lap of Luxury set love that paper.
The colors are pretty in pink, concord crush (new in color) and very vanilla
I used the scalloped circle punch the 13/8 circle punch, 1/14 circle punch, scalloped trim border and corner punches.
 Both the ribbon and the buttons are pretty in pink, the ribbon 5/8 satin and the buttons from the subtles collection of buttons.
Again Thanks for taking a look

Snowswirled tree

This card was done for the Sweet Stop Sketch challenge, The stamp set is snow swirled tree, Yeah I know Christmas, never too early to start, especially when I already have an order to make 40 cards from one of my regular customers. Anyway the designer paper is retired and the ribbon was from my stash along with the brads, The tree was stamped using shimmer paints, and the greeting was stamped with versamark ink and then used gold embossing powder. This was the best picture I could get, the tree really looks so pretty in real life.
Anyway that's it for this card Thanks for looking
