Time for Christmas

From Heidi...
I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. We had a fun time and definitely ate more than we needed, but that's part of the fun, right? Here's a Christmas card to share using Crystal Effects. I added Crystal Effects over the top of the stamped snowflake. CS: Bashful Blue, Ruby Red, Whisper White. Ink: Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue. Accessories: Soft Suede 5/8" dotted grosgrain ribbon, Brad, Eyelet Edge Punch.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hoping all of you have a wonderful day today, doing whatever it is that makes today special for you. =)

A Glittery Snowman

From Heidi...Here's a cute snowman (I'm sorry that my picture is blurry) from the Snow Buddies stamp set which I filled in by brushing on Crystal Effects mixed with Dazzling Diamond glitter. I watercolored the rest of him (scarf, hat, and nose). I used Certainly Celery, Always Artichoke, Ruby Red, and Whisper White. He sure looks happy! I saw this cute card layout from another blogger's site (sorry, I don't know who you are!) She used SU's Hostess stamp set using the pea for the snowman... it was too cute! Thanks for stopping by...and if we don't get another blog posted before Thanksgiving, we hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Christmas Card

From Heidi...Where does the time go? Wow...it's been awhile since I've posted something here on our blog. I keep meaning to get my Christmas cards posted, but there's always just "one more thing" that seems to take presidence! I'm glad that there's two of us...I'm sure our blog site is glad that there's two of us, otherwise it might feel more neglected than it already does. But anyway...here's a Christmas card I wanted to share. I love this layout using two different coordinating DS papers, which I saw used on another card. The DS paper is Holiday Lounge, Stamp Set: Snow Buddies (stocking). I used Crystal Effects to create an icicle border which I placed on the top of the Whisper White CS. After watercoloring the stockings, I filled them in with Crystal Effects to make them pop out. This was a fun card to make! I had fun creating all the little details

Holiday Happiness

From Adriel:

Awhile ago, I was inspired by some colors I saw in a combination together and wanted to make a Christmas card with those colors. I sat down and tried out different colors before deciding on this color combo: Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Pink Passion and lots of white!

Patterned Pines, the new hostess set we recently earned, made fun little trees for this card. I inked them up individually and cut them out. I dimensioned the trees over an Old Olive strip that I did some faux stitching on... okay, not my strength. I need some practice on faux stitching and getting the stitches even. (Kristina Werner makes it look terribly easy!)

I used a medium dot stamp from a random stamp set... I think we've got 2 or 3 of those dots from different sets! Anyway, dotted the bottom of the card in the various colors. Finished the card off with a sentiment from an old set called "So Many Sayings" and little tiny rhinestones on one of the trees.

Had fun, enjoyed myself and made something new! =)
