Simplify Christmas

Hi Everyone,

 

I have another Christmas card to share with you, and I was so happy to be able to use the Simplify Christmas Greeting on my card, as it's one of my favorites for the season from DRS Designs!

 

The Christmas Village Church was stamped, colored, embellished with glitter glue and glossy accents, and finally punched out and set aside to dry.

 

I used the Splatter Background and the Christmas Village Four in One Accessories stamp to make the snow on the red background and dry embossed the snowflakes on the bottom blue card stock. I added a matching ribbon and die cut some snowflakes for embellishment and the layering of my image.

Have you had a chance to play along in our current "Inchie" challenge? Find out all the details here!

 

Good Luck and have a great day!

In the Meadow

Hi Everyone,

 

I was searching through my stash of stamps from DRS Designs, looking for stamps that would coordinate with the newly released holiday stamps. Last week I used the Pine Tree Snowdrifts on my card, but I came across my Winter Trees stamp, and I knew it would help me create a little meadow scene as well.

 

 

After stamping the trees in brown dye ink, I nestled the little snowmen from the Christmas Village Four In One Accessories stamp in the distance, and used the Tiny Snowman stamp in the foreground

 

 

 

 

I then went back using the Pine Tree Snowdrifts stamp to add in the drifts. After colored my image, I added glitter glue to create some snow on the trees and highlight the drifts. I finished up the card by stamping the base using the Interlocking Snowflake Background stamp and the In the Meadow Greeting.

 

Thanks for visiting and happy stamping!

From Our House to Yours at Christmas

Hi Everyone,

I've been loving seeing all the different cards being made with the newest stamps being released from at DRS Designs! Darling little stamps that when assembled together, make the most adorable little winter and holiday scenes. I love that you can use them individually too, and they combine with stamps in the current catalog...Bonus! Which leads me to my card today...

 

After stamping the Christmas Village House (117C), I used the Pine Tree Snowdrifts stamp to create the drifts. Then I went back using the Christmas Village Four in One Accessories (119D) stamp, adding a few more trees and a snowman.

 

 

 

 

I colored everything with Copic markers and highlighted the snow and roof top with some glitter glue. (If you click on the photo, that should give you a closer look.)

 

The new Christmas From our House (120C) greeting seemed perfect for this snowy cottage scene.

Holiday Card & a Challenge

Hi Everyone,

 

It's Christmas in July time, and that means getting a jump on your holiday cards :) I love making Christmas cards, especially when I'm not stressed out thinking about how much shopping I need to get done. And it's a great way to cool off this time of year, even if it's just metaphorically.

 

This card is simple, made from pieces parts that I saved from last year. When I'm playing around getting ideas, I save all those things that I didn't use in my finished card. Since I had a finished piece of patterned paper made from the Woven Plaid Background Stamp, a colored up Reindeer Ralph, and a punched 1 Line Merry Christmas, this card made with DRS Designs stamps, came together in a jiffy.

All I did was add ribbon, gems and holly leaves, and some Stickles to his nose :)

Woo Hoo! First card of the year done! Only 50 more to go...lol. Small victories.

Oh, and if you want a chance to win a $10.00 voucher to the DRS Designs store, play along at the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge blog where DRS is this week's sponsor...Here is the inspiration photo:

Hope

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm back from being on vacation. My husband and I took a trip up to Niagara on the Lake for the Shaw Festival and we had a wonderful time. The town is beautiful and the plays we saw were really great. While I always look forward to coming home, I don't look forward to making my own breakfast or my own bed :(

 

Anyway, back to real life...I wanted to show you another piggy card I made, however I have just now realized that I never took a photo of it, before I sent it off. See? This is how excited I was to get out of town! I have managed to scour the depths of my computer and found a card that I never got a chance to post. I think I was waiting for the calender to turn into October, and then just forgot. So this year it's just super early!

 

It's a simple, flat card that's easy to mail. Perfect for giving to someone who needs hope during their illness. Leave it to DRS Designs to have a stamp for every occasion :)

 

 

While I used a pink color combo for breast cancer, the Cancer Is...Greeting isn't specific, so you can tailor it to your individual needs. I also used the Support Ribbon stamp for the pink panel and added the Script Font to the background. Then I simply added a pink ribbon for embellishment.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are enjoying the summer!
