Courage

This is the new stamp set called Courage. I stamped it on Crumb Cake CS with Early Espresso Ink and the word stamp on Whisper White CS. I mounted on Real Red CS and card base Not Quite Navy CS.

I had a friend over on Saturday and this is one of the cards I made for her. She was awesome, she's lovin' stamping ... woo hoo, somebody to share with. I just hope I didn't overwhelm her! So much fun stuff.

I love that all these people are willing to sacrifice time with their families and be brave enough to insure that we stay free. God bless them all and thanks to their families for their sacrafice to let them be who they are.

Keep stampin' and keep the prayers up that all our folks come home SAFE! Have a great week ~ Julia

Dasher Merry Christmas

Here's that little Dasher again! I stamed it on Whisper White and embossed with VersaMark and Silver Embossing Powder. Layered onto Earth Elements CS and Brushed Silver CS (I didn't have any Brushed Silver CS so had to order but sweet Judy game me a sheet today while I'm waiting, what an awesome Twin I have ~ thanks Judy)..I used a little of the Striped Grosgrain Red Ribbon and a card base of Whisper White. Hope you like it?

Halloween Spider

I made one of those cute little spiders from Dawn's site. She does such cool tutorials. You will need Black CS, Whisper White CS, I used Dusty Durango CS, Scallop Circle Punch, Photo Corner Punch, 1/2" circle punch, 1/4" circle punch (retired), Mini glue dots and Adhesive. Oh yeah, I didn't have the kind of candy Dawn used so I found a round piece of covered chocolate in the Trick-or-Treat bowl. Isn't this little guy just too cute?

Drawin' n Stampin'

Well, I saw a card somewhere online and can't remember where, but the one I'm posting tonight reminds me of that card. I used the new Delightful Decorations Stamp Set and cut the top and bottom off the bulb to make the vase. I hand sketched the stems and leaves and used the little flower in the Delightful Decorations Stamp Set. Ink Melon Mambo, Soft Suede & Bermuda Bay along with the Melon Mambo CS, Bermuda Bay CS and Whisper White CS. I used the pearls and flower from the Pretties Kit and punched the corners with the Ticket Corner Punch. Hope you like it!

Fish Card

Casing "Just-Sponge-It" again. Her stuff is sooOOOO cute! I think she got it from somebody else, but check out her blog by clicking on the highlighted name above, she tells all! LOL!! I forgot the little stripies, but otherwise this little guy sure doesn't look like he was punched from the new Christmas Ornament punch. How do these people figure this stuff out? Amazing. I used the Razzle Dazzle Stamp Set for the It's Good To Dream, Whisper White Card Stock, Crushed Curry CS for the back ground and fins and Bermuda Bay CS & Ink. Also the scallop punch for the water edge. Black for the eyeball and Bermuda Bay Dotted Swiss Ribbon. Punches are so much fun! Thanks for looking.

best wishes Deer!

I made this card using the embossing folder Finial Press (page 195 of the 2009 - 2010 Idea Book and Catalog), along with the deer from the stamp set Forest Friends. Layered with the Modern Label Punch and matching Label from the Movers & Shapers Set. CS Whisper White, Crushed Curry and Soft Suede. Ribbon Polka-dot Grosgrain Soft Suede. The best wishes from the Short & Sweet Stamp Set.
