Christmas Kitty

It's been quite a while since I have posted anything.  Besides making Christmas table runners for my family for Christmas, hubby and I took a little trip over to Lake Mead at Hoover Dam for a rally. We were gone for 4 day and had a really nice time.  Great weather and good company.  When I got home, I had to spend time getting class projects ready and I only had a couple days.

This little guy is made using the Foxy Friends set.  I happen to be the Cat Lady, so I made myself a kitty.  I'm loving the Jolly friends set and punch for the santa hats too, very different and a lot of fun to play with.   SU's Holiday catalog this year is fabulous! So many wonderful stamp sets and lots and lots of die sets and some punches.

My tree is from Santas Sleigh and the greenery is from Christmas Pines.   If I had to pick one set that got the most use from this catalog it would be Christmas Pines! I know you have seen it everywhere, it just is a great accent for most cards and so usable on it's own as well.  I didn't use the dies on this, just a couple of the stamps.

The background DSP is from the Foxy Friends DSP stack, a 6x6" stack of DSP.

I hope you enjoy and it gives you some ideas of your own.  Merry Christmas.

Tis the Season, GDP challenge #060, case the designer

Haven't you always wanted to put a santa hat on a Christmas tree?  I just knew I had to do it. Might as well have some fun with those Christmas cards.

This week at Global Design Project we are casing the designer who just so happens to be a PAL of mine, Brian King.  It's always fun to case Brian, he does such neat cards.

I just can't believe I waited as long as I did to get this Jolly Friends set, it's a bundle so there is a  matching punch.   The tree is from Peaceful Pines stamps and Perfect Pines bundle, and is in the annual catalog as a continuing set this year.

Colors are, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Real Red and Garden Green.   The DSP is from Candy Cane Lane and if you can't see it well, those are little trees on it as well as white dots.

I have LOVED my time as a team member and am so grateful to have been able to do so.

I think this sketch, by Ginger Toivonen is such a great one for our last project, I had a ball making this card! We have some fun and some gorgeous DSP (Designer Series Paper) this holiday season.   I combined the Jolly Friends stamps and punch with Candy Cane lane DSP for this one.  I hope you smile just a bit.

Merry Monday 216_ Elfen Christmas

I know it's wed, but I'm just getting my Merry Monday card done. This not only was a hard one for me, but I've been busy.   One of my daughters is coming to visit.   It's a big deal, I just don't get to see my girls or grands very often.  So, monday we shopped and we have been doing some deep cleaning.  I mean you know how bad the shower gets, right?  And how long it can take to really get it clean? That was a lot of our day yesterday.

So, this weeks challenge was to use an elf.  I don't have an elf. Or do I?   I had to really think about this.  But in the end, who is the biggest elf of all?  Santa of course.   He is called the Jolly old Elf.
One little tip if you didn't know.  You can bend the photopolymer stamps on the block so that you get the banner shape and can use the banner punch or dies. 

So that is what I did, with a little help from a couple other sets.  And a santa hat punch.
I hope you enjoy.
