Joyful Ornaments Card Case

This holiday card idea was cased from Chris, see her card here on TAC Papercrafting Community. Two sets were used on this card the new Joyful Ornaments from Inspiration Ave & Good Timber from the Base Catalogue.

I find unmounted stamps are so versatile I just separated the pine cone from

the branch and stamped repeatedly...

Take Ten Full Page Spread!!!

Ok I'm super excited here can you tell!!?? I sent some cards off several months ago and when I got up to get ready for work last night I had this awesome surprise waiting on the kitchen table! I'm not a subscriber so I knew it could only mean one thing... I had a card in there some where!!! You should have seen me ripping open that packaging!! LOL! Not one but all 3 of my cards made it into the latest Take Ten! This is not the best scan but you get the idea..
Thanks for letting me share my happy news!

Classy Christmas Circles

Another quick Ten Minute card for you. This one was done using the Christmas Circles Set above I just stamped the joy circle on Kraft cardstock with Memento Tuxedo black ink and punched it out with my Marvy Mega Scalloped punch, I then centered a silk poinsettia in the middle with a black brad as the focal point. A strip of Scarlet cardstock and white grosgrain ribbon & Black Scrappers Floss attached to a Black card base... You will notice some Scor-Pal & Scor-Bug detail across the bottom and it finished. I'm really please with this first ever black Christmas card! What do you think?

Angel Art Blog Hop For November

Holiday Cards & Tags in ten minutes or less is our theme for November!

I choose to make a couple of cards using this new Vintage Santa this is a set of six stamps from the Fall/Winter Inspiration Avenue Magalogue.

I really love all the stamps from this set

but especially the sentiments, it's such an elegant script and are now among my favorites...

The snowflakes remind me of batten burg lace... I think there so pretty!

And this Vintage Santa looks just as great stamped without any coloring as he does colored... talk about a quick card.

The Season's Greeting card is made with our beautiful Scarlet Cardstock the snowflakes were stamped with Brilliance Moonlight White. The strip of Kraft Cardstock is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the white MS punched border is White Ultrasmooth Cardstock. It's embellished with a snowflake brad stuck through a black button and a touch of white grosgrain ribbon and Black Scrappers Floss.

The Vintage Santa Card is made with the same scarlet cardstock I then stamped the Santa on the white ultrasmooth cardstock with the Memento and just colored in the holly& berries and his rosy checks with my Copic's. I used a touch of the Clear Stardust Gelly pen on his pipe & holly. I then mounted it to a torn piece of Black Cardstock stamped the sentiment and embellished with white grosgrain ribbon, add a couple of nested buttons from the Elizabeth Buttons & Blossoms Collection... a touch of scrappers floss and it's complete.
