More Xmas Cards

Here is another one of the christmas cards I made this year for giving out. This was my first attempt at punching out a window card. The picture doesn't show it very well but the tree is on the inside of the card. I don't have a square punch, so I just used my tag punch on the top and bottom of the Old Olive card and then cut out the section inbetween. I really liked the way this card turned out.

Stamps: Lovely As A Tree Stamp Set, Weathered Background Stamp

Ink: Old Olive Classic Ink

Paper: Old Olive, Whisper White

Accessories: Versamark, Gold Emboss Powder, Heat Tool, Powder Pal, Embossing Buddy, Tag Punch, White organdy ribbon (not from Stampin' Up!)

Birthday Card for Mother-in-Law

My mother-in-law's birthday is this month and her is the card I made for her. I used Stickles on the flower...I gotta tell you...I loved the ease of using it but I didn't like how long it took to dry and I didn't like how it pulled up the color, turning it a funny looking pink around the edges....Think I'll probably stick with using the 2-way glue pen and glitter.

Stamps: Fabulous Flowers, Weathered, Sincere Salutations

Ink: Yoyo Yellow, Pink Passion

Paper: Pixie Pink, Barely Banana, Whisper White

Accessories: Paper Snips, Stickles (bought from local craft store), 1/8" circle punch, Fire Rhinestone Brads, Stampin' Dimensionals
