May Christmas Card

Hi everybody,
I must apologize for the lack of posting.  It has been extremely crazy busy around here.  My mother-in-law had a fall back in March and had been in the hospital for approximately 5-6 weeks.  She finally got out just before Mother’s Day but still had issues.  On top of it all with our almost daily visits to the hospital, I was also working on own my taxes, my husband’s and my mom’s and dad’s!

To make things worse, I was asked to work full time to cover somebody’s desk – now don’t get me wrong – the extra money was nice, but it was cutting into my crafting time!  Boo hoo!  Anyways enough of the boring stuff, I have a card to share with you.

This is my Christmas card for the month of May – I know I am posting extremely late, but I figure better late than never.  This is using one of my favourite stamp sets – Snow Much Fun.  You’ll see that I’ve layered it 4 times – Base card is Whisper White, Night of Navy, Bashful Blue, Whisper White.  I embossed the top left corner first with the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder.  I added a little bit gitter glue to give it some spark.  Stamped the snowman and coloured him in.  Stamped my sentiment and punched it out using the Fancy Label punch.  I also punched out the Modern Label in Night of Navy and cut that in half and adhered it to the white label to give it the layered look.  I punched out bashful blue twice and adhered it to the back of the Night of Navy (I hope that makes sense).  Popped up the sentiment.

Thanks for being patient and I truly apologize for not being a better blogger!

Here is the recipe:

Stamps:  Snow Much Fun

Ink:        Basic Black

Paper:   Whisper White, Night of Navy, Bashful Blue

Accessories:  Northern Flurry EmbossingFolder; Modern Label Punch; Glitter Glue; pop ups; Pastels

Christmas Cards All Year Round - November Challenge

Today, I had the day off and decided to browse the Christmas Cards All Year Round to see what their sketch would be.  It has been a long time since I have participated in any challenges and thought I might have lost my mojo.  I hoed and hummed about this sketch and was not going to participate, but I am glad that I did participate.  

This is my first step card ever. 

I coloured the snowman with my SU markers as I wanted the colours to pop just as much as DS paper and added glitter to the hat pompom, the fur and the snowball. I punched out the snowflakes using a shimmer paper and added the half pearl to it.  


I hope they like my cards as much as I do.

Here is the recipe:

Stamps:  Snow Much Fun

Paper:  Candy Cane DS Paper (retired), Real Red CS; Pretty in Pink Textured CS; Whisper White CS

Ink:  Basic Black

Other:  SU Markers, Half Pearls, Glitter
