About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.

Always Playing with Paper Merry Monday challenge 57

These are the cards I made to the sketch at
http://alwaysplayingwithpaper.blogspot.ca/2013/04/merry-monday-christmas-card-challenge_8.html


 This is the sketch
Card 1:  White card stamped with Hero Arts:  "Wavy Stars" "Silent Night" and "Wavy Holly".  Coloured leaves and berries with markers.  Added gold sparkly ribbon across the card and gold star sparkly ribbon down the card.  Unfortunately the scan doesn't show the lovely gold and the sparkle.  Stamped PSX manger scene and cut out with Stampin Up bauble punch and threaded gold thread through and layered onto gold ribbon.

Card 2:  Used three different papers from Kaisercraft 6" paper pad "Dear Santa Collection".  Stamped Hero Arts stamp "Happy Christmas" on middle piece.  Printed Heather Valentin Digi Stamp "Isabella Christmas ornament" from Lacy Sunshine shop the official and only authorised shop to sell Heather Valentin images.  Coloured with Distress and Tria markers.
