Candy Cane Christmas

Just messing around with some new product and increasing my stash of Christmas cards. I wanted to use this Candy cane from the set Banners for Christmas. I thought about putting two of them crossed, but I am really in love with these banners out this year, so just did one, backed it with the new 3D folder, Cable knit, and a banner.

I also used 2 pieces of twine from the Bakers Twine Trio from the Holiday catalog! The gold in this pack is fabulous! I sponged on some Emerald Envy for a bit of color. And used Cherry Cobbler for my red, using my Aqua brush to fill in some color on the banner. Just a very simple card.
I hope you enjoy and it gives you some inspiration.

PPA318, Happy Anniversary.

This weeks PPA challenge is a sketch challenge. I need an anniversary card for friends of ours so hunted for some great stuff for it. I just bought the Seasonal Bells bundle that comes with the stamps and a punch for the bells, and that was perfect. The layering love sentiment set had 2 neat stamps to choose from for the main area of the card.

I embossed both the sentiment and bells in gold and used gold cord for my tie. It's a fairly simple card, but it does take a little time for the embossing, but what a difference it makes! I love pairing the gold and white with a dark color, it just makes it all pop.
I did use Night of Navy seam binding which is retired.

For such a simple looking card, I ended up using a lot of products, but I was searching for just the right things for a special anniversary card. I hope this gives you some inspiration, and thanks so much for stopping by.
