Birthday Tie

Now that the holidays are over and the last of the Christmas cards have been posted, I thought I would post some of the cards that I've made this year but never got around to putting on my blog.  This birthday card came together quickly and I was pleased with how it turned out.  Inspired by a card created by Mary Fish.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper:  Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Garden Green, Pool Party DSP
Ink:  Black
Accessories:  Word Window Punch, Modern Label Punch, Bashful Blue Satin Ribbon, Rhinestone Brad, Dimensionals

Season of Joy Snowflakes

Kick Up Yer Heels

Like most of us I have difficulty coming up with new and different ideas for masculine cards.  I usually resort to trees or a graphic design but I'm loving these cowboy boots.

Christmas Deer

As soon as I saw this Christmas Deer stamp set I knew that I had to have it.  Not only can I use it for Christmas cards but just using the deer stamp alone will make great masculine cards.  For this card I cut whisper white card stock using the labels collection framelit die and then stamped the deer using versa mark ink and embossed with silver embossing powder.  I masked off the horizon with a torn strip of paper and the moon using a 1 1/4" circle and then sponged the sky using baja breeze and not quite navy ink.  To create snow drifts I used the same torn strip of paper as the horizon and sponged with not quite navy ink.  The ornament on the antlers was stamped using versa mark ink and embossed with navy embossing powder.  The image was mounted on a layer of not quite navy card stock and attached using dimensionals to the card base.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Christmas Deer, Christmas Punch
Paper:  Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Ski Slope DSP
Ink:  Versa Mark, Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy
Accessories:  Labels Collection Framelits Die, Large Oval Punch, Snowburst Embossing Folder, Baja Breeze Striped Ribbon, Silver Embossing Powder, Navy Embossing Powder, Dimensionals
