Seasonally Scattered Christmas Card

Okay, I don't know where "tomorrow" went. It has become "today". So, today I will share with you what I did on Sunday.

Sarah and her Father

Cake cutting

Yup, I attended my niece's wedding. Yes it was country style with cowboy boots and hats!

It was a lovely day, on the edge of too warm, but at least it wasn't raining! At this time in the Northwest, you never can predict the weather so she was fortunate to get a lovely day.

Here's another card created with the Stampin' Up! Seasonally Scattered stamp set. It is in the same set with the "LOVE" sentiment that I shared two days ago. I used Kraft Paper for the card's base. I stamped the sentiment and embossed it with white embossing powder to which I had added Dazzling Detail glitter (3 parts powder, 1 part glitter).

I also used three snowflakes from the Frosted Sequins pack in the Holiday Catalog. It includes 450 pieces total (silver sequins in two sizes and the snowflakes in one size). The ribbon is Real Red 1/8" Taffeta ribbon. I used a corner rounder on the corners and sponged the edges with white craft ink.

Tip: For this card I used a sponge dauber and rubbed the red ink into the center of the sentiment. I could have used a Real Red marker if I had only wanted the red to be inside the individual letters instead of the ink also spreading 'under' the snowflakes surrounding "Merry".

Valentine's Day Card

Too Busy To Stamp!

Have you ever been too busy to stamp? I try hard NOT to be that busy. Sometimes other things just stack up on me and I don't get into my studio for a few days, or get on the computer to post anything on my blog for a few days. Well, that is how it has been for me the last few days.

Here's a look at what kept me out of my stamp room on Friday.

Tyrolean Dancers

Yup, we visited Mt Angel for Octoberfest. Susie, my husband and I had a long day walking around the town, checking out the antique stores, craft booths, food booths and the performers at the bandstand. We had a warm, wonderful day.

Are you ready for Valentine's Day? I know, silly question! It is time to prepare fall and Christmas projects, not time to think about next year's projects and holidays!

I just wanted to show you what I did with one of the sets that are in the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog right now. Stampin' Up! usually puts in a couple of Valentine related items for those of you that like to be ready for holidays 6 months in advance! No that is not really me, I usually am only a month or two at the most, ahead of the holiday.

This set is called Seasonally Scattered and it is on page 43 in the Holiday catalog.
I used Blushing Bride, Whisper White, and Real Red card stocks, plus red glimmer paper for the punched hearts.

Tip: I added Dazzling Details glitter to the Cherry Cobbler embossing powder to add a little more sparkle to the card.

The white striped lines and the white "splatter" are from the Gorgeous Grunge set, stamped with craft white ink. I also used the Chalk Marker to fill in the word inside the Scattered Sentiment.

If you are curious about what kept me from my stamping studio on Sunday, check back tomorrow!
