Penguin Treats

When my daughter was in Middle School she loved anything with penguins and I've collected a few penguin stamps since then. This is just a sweet card and may be the card I send to her this year. She is now a 22 year old college graduate and living on her own in Long Island. I miss her and the great times we used to have together when she was living at home.

 

Supplies Used: Stamps: Darcie's Penguin and words images and Holiday Wishes; Paper: Naturals White, Real Red, Glorious Green, Summer Sun and DCWV Paper; Ink: Palette Noir Black, Glorious Green, various markers; Other: Rhinestone brads, Ticket Corner Punch, dimensionals.

Season of Joy

 

The images used here are basically the same but since the layouts are different each one has its own unique characteristics. When I'm cutting cardstock, I usually make 2 cards the same but I wanted to try and see if I could use the same images, cardstock, background papers, and ribbon but give each card its own style. I think I've acheived that with these cards.

Supplies Used: Stamps: Season of Joy; Paper: Whisper White, Pacific Point, Riding Hood Red, and Old Olive; Ink: Pacific Point, Riding Hood Red, and Old Olive; Other: Circle Punch, Riding Hood Red Ribbon, dimensionals, dew drops and stickles.

Merry Christ-Moose

This is another image from the set I picked up at Wal-Mart. I have a friend with a great sense of humor and I know she'll love the image of a moose in leg warmers. You just can't help but smile looking at this image.
 

Supplies Used: Stamps: Clear Stamp Set and Snap-Stamps mini; Paper: Whisper White, Real Red, Chocolate Chip and background paper; Ink: Basic Black, Real Red, Creamy Caramel and Chocolate Chip; Other: Circle Punches, Oval Punches, Oval Scallop Punch, Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon, dimensionals, dew drops and white gel pen.

Simple Christmas Card

Here is another card using a discontinued set from last year. I bought some things from the discontinued list and this is the first time using them. I actually really like how this turned out and it was a quick and easy card to create. If you are into mass producing cards and want something quick and easy this could work.

Supplies Used: Stamps: Block Party; Paper: Whisper White, Real Red, Glorious Green and background paper; Ink: Kaleidacolor Fruitcake; Other: Ribbon and dimensionals.

Glad Tidings

I've started making my Christmas cards and this is the first time I've used this set. It was a discontinued set last year and I never got the chance to use it. I think this would be a good card to give to a man since the colors I chose are very masculine.

Supplies Used: Stamps: Glad Tidings and Snow Flurries; Paper: Whisper White and Basic Gray; Ink: Going Gray, Basic Gray, Brilliant Blue and Silver; Other: Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, dimensionals and ribbon.
