Oh my, it's really sneaking up on us quickly!
I thought I would sit down this morning and make a few cards, as who knows what I will have time for next week!
This first card is another set of stamps that I got at Collinsville in April, that I honestly TOTALLY forgot I had! This beautiful scene is from
Heartfelt Creations. The window was stamped, then stamped again to create a mask. The scene was stamped, the mask removed, and all coloring except for the door and chimney were done with pencils and LOMS. The door and chimney were colored with Tombow markers. The snow is white fun flock. Sentiment is from Great Impressions.
I am entering the above card at: A Spoonfull of Sugar (#133, Christmas Card), Creative Card Crew (Anything Goes), Stamptacular Sunday Challenge (#89 Winter Scene), For Fun Challenges (Christmas), One Stitch at a Time (Anything Goes), Freshly Brewed Challenges (Merry Christmas) Speedy the Cat's Challenge (Paper Piecing)
***
This little cutie is a free pre-colored (yup! free AND pre-colored) image and sentiment set from
Clear Dollar Stamps, designed by Laurie Wilson. Totally easy peasy! Print, (I printed a second time to paper piece the hat, nose, and vest), touch up the snow with a glitter pen, and add a few butterflies! Voila - 10 min. card (half of that was spent fighting with my printer)!
I am entering the above card at: Flutterby Wednesdays (open challenge - include butterfly, angel, or fairy)
***
WARNING! If you own sunglasses, or maybe horse blinders, this would be a wonderful time to put them on. Really. Would I lie to you?
This card was created with one of those teensy clear stamps that Joanne's Crafts carries. Too cute! I actually got 6 of these, as each section is paperpieced by stamping the tree over and over on 6 different colors of CS. Sentiment is Northwoods. Another easy peasy mass production!
The above card will be entered at: Incy Wincy Designs (Christmas Card using non-traditional colors), ABC Christmas Challenge (Use any past challenge - I chose 9-22-10's challenge of T=Tree)
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope that you and yours are enjoying the beauty of this season!
Hugs, Patti J.

That first card is GORGEOUS! I love the window effect, and the dotted paper and lace give it such a warm, country feel. The sentiment is absolutely perfect for the image. That snowman on the second is so adorable. It made such a darling card. And I swear I just about spit my coffee on the last one with your comment about blinders and sun glasses. The card had not scrolled into view on my screen yet, so I had no idea what to expect! That sure is some lime green going on there!!! LOL Love how you did that tree. You are priceless! Best, Curt
ReplyDeleteHi Patti, your cards are over the top gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that window frame!! Not sure if your interested but your card or cards do fit the challenge over at Speedy's friends challenge to paper piece on your card and not that many entries in it and tomorrow is the last day of it.
Love the window card! If only I had a scene like that to look at out of one of my windows. TFS!
