IT'S YOUR SPECIAL DAY

A few days ago I posted the picture of a sympathy card using a stamp from this retired "Oh, So Lovely" Stampin' Up! set.  The white piece with this flower was still on my craft table so I decided to use this one for a birthday card.  I matted it with red card stock and then added it to the card base.  The sentiment is from the Penny Black "Sprinkles and Smiles" stamp set.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Wishing everyone a Happy and Healthy 2020!

SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS

The Stacy Stamps set that I used yesterday also had this tree design as part of the set.  First I stamped it on the middle of a card front but put that aside.  Next I stamped it on another card front but moved the stamp up so that a sentiment could be added and still leave an equal border at the top and bottom of the card.  

Using a Spellbinders circle die, I cut it using a large enough piece of card stock so that I could mask the tree and sponge through the open circle with Daffodil Delight ink.  The image seemed to call for a sympathy sentiment. The one I used is from Papertrey Ink. 

I've heard many times that Cardinals may be lost loved ones visiting so I added the Cardinal from Impression Obsession to the tree.

It's New Year's Eve!  Another year that seems to have flown by.  However you choose to celebrate, please be safe!

Thank you for coming by today!

A WINTER SCENE

We are expecting some snow later today although it doesn't sound like much.  I decided that this would be an appropriate card to post anyway since so much of the country is experiencing snowy weather..........much of it very dangerous.

I started with a piece of white card stock measuring 5 1/4" x 4" and stamped the trees with Shaded Spruce ink from SU.  The Tree image is from Stacy Stamps.  Then I embossed it with the Stampin' Up! folder.  The deer are from the Memory Box Deer Trio die and the Cardinal is from Impression Obsession.

If you are in an area receiving the horrible storms, please remain safe! Thank you for stopping by today!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Wishing everyone a Blessed day however your family celebrates!

CHRISTMAS EVE

This Christmas Eve we will be attending church services. My favorite Christmas Hymn is "O Holy Night".  Tomorrow our family will gather for our celebration.

WITH HEARTFELT SYMPATHY

This time I didn't need a sympathy card right now, but decided to make a few for my mother to have on hand.  The flower was from an old SU set.  Right now I'm not sure who made the sentiment stamp.

Things are finally falling into place for our family Christmas.  I think all of the gifts are bought but need to be wrapped.  Most of the cookies and treats have been completed.  Some cards may not be in the mail yet so they'll probably be late.  Everything seemed to come very quickly after Thanksgiving!

Thanks for coming by today!
