PALs Paper Arts Color Challenge #231

I know my blog posting just has not happened much lately.  So, I had hip replacement surgery the end of Oct, and was doing fantastic around Thanksgiving, then my luck turned on me and I have back slid twice now.  I sure hope that is the end of all that and I can progress.

So, I ended up late for my PPA challenge, but here it is. We have the color challenge this week, here they are:

So, go check it out, the team has done a fabulous job on their cards this week, and there are plenty of posters too.

I hope you enjoy.

10 Days of Christmas 2014, Day 7, Snowflakes

Welcome again to my 10 Days of Christmas 2014. We are on day 7 now. You can scroll down to see the previous days.

I love snowflakes, and white on Crumb Cake is so classic and pretty.  I used Rich Razzleberry for my base card. I love using unusual colors for my christmas cards.

I hope you get some ideas from these.  This is a pretty quick and simple card.

Stampin Up, Merry and Bright, Mojo Monday 356

Happy Mojo Monday to you.

I told myself I was NOT going to be doing Christmas cards this early.  Then SU went and released a couple of sets early.

Part of this card is made with Endless Wishes from last year. It's a photopolymer set that sold out so fast that most people didn't get a chance at it.   SU is now making their own Photopolymer stamps, and brought this one back since it was so popular, it's available now.
The other set in this card, Christmas Bliss, is also available now. Otherwise, you'll start seeing the Holiday catalog out in Aug and will be able to start ordering Aug 28th.

I started with Cherry Cobbler for my base, and I made my background using white and the smallest snowflake from the Endless wishes set, with a gold ink pad.

I hope this gives you an idea to start your holiday cards.

2013 Ten Days of Christmas, Number 1

Are you ready for Christmas? Stop by here each day for the next 10 days for something new to make for Christmas.   First day we have a card.

This is a very simple, but striking card. First I stamped the snowflake from Endless Wishes Photopolymer stamp set on Crumb Cake CS.

Cut a piece of Whisper White CS and stamp the tree from Lovely as a Tree three times using embossing ink and emboss in white. I used our Whisper White ink and embossing powder.

Now take your Pool Party ink pad and sponge ink over and around the trees, the embossing will act as a resist and won't take the ink.

Next stamp the sentiment using Island Indigo ink.  I used a combination of words from Endless Wishes to create my sentiment, put them together on a clear block, inked up and stamped at one time.
Finish off with a pretty 5/8th inch Organza Ribbon.   And no problem going through the mail.

I just love this set, it's so nice to be able to put together my own sentiment, and the snowflakes are darling.  Just in case you can't read it the numbers for ordering are 133455 and all these sets are $13.95 each.
