Jingle Belle challenge - It came upon a midnight clear

There is no stamping on this card. I used a die cut nativity and glued it to some Paper Studio design paper behind a clear acrylic tag and then tied the tag onto this card with a Paper Studio designed paper background mounted on a light blue cardstock base. I used a pretty piece of rribbonto tie it onto the card. The recipient can untie it from the card and use it as an ornament for their tree or use as a gift tag. On the top of the tag and over the manger I attached a little gold star jewel.  You can find the details for this challenge here as well as the linky:

As You See it - Pastel Celebration

I made this card for the upcoming celebration of Easter for the As You See it celebration called Pastel Celebration. I used this pretty page of pastel printed design paper and stamped these little adorable girls from an image from Unity Stamps directly onto the design paper. I colored the image with copic markers. I added this ribbon bow and a wet embossed sentiment. The sentiment (from Spellbinder) is inked with Versamark and I used white Ranger embossing powder For the  punched butterflies I used was a little mini butterfly punch from Creative Memories, which is an old and a favorite in my punch collection. This makes me so ready for spring to come.

Tic Tac Toe #264

  

I used a love sentiment, an embossing folder that had a frame design, and used both dry and heat embossing on this card. The embossing folder is from Sizzix, the stamp is from Unity, and the love die is from Impression Obsessions I think. The wet embossing was done with white embossing powder on kraft paper.

I love making cards for friends so I loved the theme this week over at Just Us Girls.

I used one of my newest stamp sets from Stampendous, and some of my newest stencils from A Colorful Life. I use TH distressed oxide inks for my blending with stenciling, I stamped the images with Versafine Clair Black ink. I used alcohol markers and colored pencils for the images. I mounted with on yellow cardstock as my base. 

 

Can You Handle the Pressure - things with F

This was a great week to build up some stashes for friend cards, the ones I send out the most for no reason at all. Things that start with F was the theme for the challenge over on Can You Handle the Pressure. I used an embossing folder with a fleur de lei pattern (Sizzix)

and a background stamp was called flannel plaid from Stampin' Up. I used a floral designed card base from Paper Studio as my base and also cut some of the flowers from one of the similar card bases I had on hand.  All these fabulous "F" things helped make this fabulous friend card to put in my stash.

Addicted to CAS 276 Friends

I made this 5 minute card for the Addicted to CAS card challenge. The theme is friends and this is one of my newest stamp purchases. As a child I always loved buttons. They were kind of my play friends when I was by myself. LOL So, I just had to have this stamp. This card really came together easily. Everything but the largest daisy was stamped to the card base. I stamped it on another piece of paper, cut it out and added it with a dimensional.  You can find the details to this challenge here:
