Holly's Birthday Card

Told you we had a lot of November birthdays!  Here's the one I made for my Step-Daughter.  She's such a sweetie, wish she lived closer so I could spoil her more...

I used the Happy Hour Stamp Set.  Basic Gray and Rich Razzleberry Ink. The card base is Basic Gray CS and the Rich Razzleberry layer I ran through the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder.  I used Apothecary Accents Framelits to cut out the stamped images and one for behind the wine glass.  The green DSP is from the Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Pack.  I added some Rhinestones colored with green and purple Sharpies and added them to a strip of Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon.  I added a piece of DSP to the flap of the envelope also.

Courtney's Birthday Card

Here's the card I made for Courtney, I cased it from Connie Stewart, she comes up with the greatest tutorials! 

Sorry, it's a little dark in the picture.  Check out the site, she'll give you all the supply list and more!  Hope Courtney likes her card, it was fun to make.  Thanks Connie for the great tutorial (again)!

My Christmas Square Swap Creation

Here's my Christmas Square Swap creation:

I used a piece of background paper from the Candlelight Christmas Specialty DSP and mounted the little squares to it, popped it into a 12x12 frame, viola ~ a creation!  So easy when all my Luv2Stamp Group friends do all the work!  Great swaps everybody, I love them all!

Snowman Light

These come out so cute.  I got the instructions from Inking Idaho.  Check it out if you'd like to make some!

You use the litte tea lights that are battery operated.  Add some Gumball Green for the cap, along with Cherry Cobbler CS, use the Large Oval Punch and the Itty Bitty Punch Set Circle a little of the Cherry Cobbler Sweater Trim Ribbon for his scarf.  Run the cap through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  For his face I colored some Basic Pearls with a Black Sharpie.  On the backside you punch a scallop circle and use the Itty Bitty Punch Pack Circle to cut out where the on/off switch goes.  SoooOOO cute!

Christmas Square Swap

This was my swap for our Luv2Stamp Group Christmas Square Swap.  I should get my package from Patty today with squares from everyone who participated  ~ I'm so excited!

These were so much fun to make and so quick once I got the design down.  I used Brushed Silver CS for the Scallop Square (punched with the Scallop Square Punch).  Then a layer of Red Glimmer Paper punched with the 1-1/4" Square Punch.  I stamped the little reindeer head from the Jolly Bingo Bits Stamp Set in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla CS.  I punched that out with the 3/4" x 15/16" Punch and sponged the edges with Early Espresso Ink.  I added some Googlie Eyes and colored a Rhinestone with a Red Sharpie for Rudolph's nose.  Hope everyone liked the one I sent in to swap.

Another Birthday Card

Here's another November birthday card!  I cased this from CardScraps.  It uses the the Perfectly Preserved Stamp Set and Cannery Set Framelits. 

The card base is Pool Party CS.  Then Crumb Cake.  The jar is stamped on Vellum CS and cut with the Framelits Cannery Set.  I free-hand cut the grass using Gumball Green CS.  the sentiment is from Up, Up & Away Stamp Set. The ribbon is Primrose Petals Statin Stitched Ribbon. The inside sentiment is computer generated and cut out using Floral Frames Framelit.  I used a strip of DSP and the Champagne Glimmer Paper. I added some flowers to the envelope.
