Hello crafters and welcome to some Christmas inspiration on the blog today. I am in the process of using up my stash and making as many cards as possible before the hustle bustle of the season begins. The card for today features the Hang Your Stocking stamp set and Festive Farmhouse DSP (designer series paper). I stamped the stocking and the sentiment using Cherry Cobbler ink and then stamped the snowflakes with VersaMark ink and heat set with some silver embossing powder. I love how this card came out and more inspiration is on the way. Take a look at the project below and please let me know what you think. Supplies used: . I also popped up the focal image using Scotch 3M Foam tape. I hope you have enjoyed today's project and will check back often for more inspiration. Thank you for visiting.

The colors I used will be retiring soon so if you like them go and grab then while you can. I hope you'll take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. Supplies:

Hello everyone and welcome to today's post where I will be sharing a card that uses some retiring ink colors along with a simple background stamp set. I die cut some butterlies from white card stock so as not to take away from the colorful background. The sentiment was stamped with both VersaMark ink and Memento ink and then sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set. The bling is silver metallic sequins spread on each of the colors by each of the butterflies. Please take a look below and let me know what you think. . Supplies .

Happy Monday. I hope everyone weathered the storms on the East Coast and are making it back to normal. Here in Virginia we were fortunate not to have too much wind and rain and school resumed for the kids today. So on to the card for today. I created a masculine birthday card on the fly when my husband came home from his morning walk yesterday and said his cousin's birthday was that very day. I didn't have one that would fit this recipient so I went to crafting and created one in time for his afternoon walk.  The recipient seemed to enjoy it and I was happy I could create a card so quickly. Check out the project below and let me know what you think. .
