A WINTER SCENE

My friend, Carol, had just received a stamp set and offered to let me see if it would work with this pretty die cut.  I love this die cut frame.

JOY TO THE WORLD

Today's card is a pretty close replica of one I saw on Pinterest.  I used a 5" x 6 1/2" card from a pack of cards/envelopes I purchased at Michael's.  The sentiment die is from Impression Obsession and the other die cuts are all from the Stampin' Up! "Pretty Pines" Thinlits.

GOLD FOIL DEER

I had to angle the camera to get a picture where there was little reflection from the gold foil.  The deer is a Penny Black die.

I don't believe I posted these last year.

5 CARDS FOR IOWA VETERANS HOME

A few months ago I discovered that the Iowa Veterans Home appreciates cards for the veterans to use when they want to send a card to friends or a loved one.  I always have an abundance of cards on hand and have started sending bunches to them.  The local auxiliary ladies get them delivered for me.  

I had quite a few Christmas cards made up early and decided to put together a package of them to send. The cards below were all from a sheet of Penny Black stickers but I sent a wide variety of designs for them to use.  It's a small gift I can give them for their service to our country.

SPARKLY SNOWMAN

This was a piece which I did last year and was ready to mount onto a card base.  The snowman is a sticker from Elizabeth Crafts Designs.  I added the sticker to double sided adhesive and then covered the entire piece with sparking white glitter.  The design was then colored with Copic markers.  When using Copic markers on glitter I just dab the tips onto the piece because the glitter can ruin the tips of the markers.  

This piece from last year was added to a red card base and a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of white card stock was added to the inside for the sentiment.

PEACE

The 4" x 5 1/4" white piece of card stock was embossed twice.  First with the random dots and then again with the Tim Holtz evergreens.  The piece was added to the card base.  Stick-It was added to the red card stock and then the "Peace" from Penny Black was cut and added.

Another quick and easy card!  Thank you for coming by today!
