Happy Bird-Day!

This card was inspired by Maxine Conrad.  My sister's birthday is coming up on November 24th and this card is perfect for her! 

I used the Comfort Cafe Paper and Betsy's Blossoms Stamp Set and layered all on Soft Suede and Midnight Muse Card Stock. Embellish with ribbon and pearls and you have the perfect card! 

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone!  Stay safe and don't eat too much!

Merry Christmas!


The inspiration for this layout is from Mary Fish and the Stampin' Pretty Blog.  I used different stamps and added some red rhinestones!  I love the white on white layers and it reminds me of the beautiful snow that blankets the Midwest at Christmas time.

The Keepsakes Ornament Bundle was a great buy and I've used it and used it and used it!  I just love it!
I like both the red and green stamped cards and had a hard time deciding so I made them both! 

Thanks for looking!

Puggy Christmas Card

Family Snowfall Holiday

It's in the bag!

Great little bag for gift giving- just place a single Stampin' Up stamp or two in there and you've got the perfect gift for teachers, office colleagues, or anyone!  Hot chocolate packets would work too! 

The bag was purchased on clearance at Target for a quarter each!  I then embellished it with the Paper Doily Sizzlet in Real Red Paper.  I'll be honest, I didn't feel like punching out all the perforations so I got out the 2&1/2 inch Circle Punch and punched a circle out of the Snow Festival Tags and layered on the Thanks from the Perfect Punches Stamp Set and it was done!!!  Easy and quick for Christmas because it's right around the corner!  Would also be cute with a white or green bag! 

Thanks for looking!

Christmas Tree Card

Stampin' Up now sells individual stamps and I purchased the Tree Stamp from the Christmas Lodge Set!
I used Very Vanilla Card Stock and layered Chocolate Chip embossed with the Woodgrain Folder!  The Candlelight Designer Paper works well with the tree stamped in Old Olive Ink!  Using the Label Collection Framelets added a little something also!  The embellishment is a snowflake stamped from the Snowflake Punch and the Vintage Faceted Button just pops when you apply a red glimmer brad.  Glue Dots secure it in place!  And I had to add the red rhinestones in the corners!!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!  Happy Stampin'!
