The last day of November 2011 brings yet another card...or two...

 I just "love" House Mouse rubber stamps. I have them for so many holidays and occasions. My favorite are the ones for Christmas. Just grab a piece of patterned paper and layer onto a main card. Ink up your House Mouse and stamp then color, I used colored pencils.

They are simple yet beautiful cards!

Please join me in creating cards from the heart!

This is my Mom's card this year...

I just couldn't resist this "fancy smancy" card for my Mom. You can tell by past posts that I LOVE edge punches. Today I will try a softer look for a birthday card using gold cardstock instead of the cranberry! 

See, that's what I mean when I say try different things!!!

Enjoy the day!

And still another Christmas card!!!

This is the card for a very dear friend, who will know who she is when she gets the card!!! I went to Zindorf's site, http://zindorf.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/ , for ideas and found this wonderful card that I just HAD to make for my friend. You will find a wonderful selection and you need to look at them with new eyes. If it's a birthday card and you need Christmas, substitute Christmas stamps and colors. If it's Christmas and you need Chanukah change the saying!!! 

Have fun!!!

And more Christmas Cards

My son and fiance will be getting their card today. The moving "bug" is really fun! To accomplish this you should follow the instructions at the site listed below:

Below you will find the card I made for a friend who LOVES sock monkeys. I picked up the monkey for $1.00 at one of the big box stores. Same place I found the "bug".

May you enjoy all the holidays!!!

Here come more Christmas cards...

 I LOVE Martha Stewart punches. The upper card is the punch of the three snowmen, I then scissor cut the snow. I ran the green through the Cuttlebug and scissor cut the trees. The snowflakes are a punch from Creative Memories. This is one of my favorites for this year.

The card below is another Martha Stewart punch of houses. I punched them on green and with some layering of patterned paper and card stock. So simple yet so detailed...thanks to the punch!

More cards to come in the future but I have to send them to friends first so they are still suprised! 

Happy card making!

Black Friday Christmas cards (instead of shopping)

 The above card uses a Hero Arts stamp for the saying 

"It Must Be Christmas". Once you layer red, green and white card stock you can stamp the Stampin' Up truck once on the white card stock and once on patterned paper. Trim the truck body and hub caps from the patterned paper and glue them to the truck. Cut a tree from green card stock and you're ready to place the tree in the truck bed.

If it was only this easy to get the real tree!!!

Below is a fun card using Hero Arts for the "Season's Greetings" stamped onto a strip of white card stock. Layer white and patterned paper onto the basic green card. Stamp the figures, from the Wordsworth collection, and color with markers. Punch out and apply a scalloped, green circle to the back. Foam tape to the card front and you are done. 

Two quick and easy cards!!!

I hope to post more Christmas cards during the holidays.

Check back often!!!
