Stampin Up, Mojo Monday 421, Tall Christmas


I decided to have some fun with a tall and skinny card today.  One week a month Mojo Monday has a sketch for a tall, skinny card.   One year several years ago, I happened on some Red #10 envelops at an office store after Christmas, at a bargain price. Most are stil sitting here, so here is one more envelop used!

I am loving this Designer Series Paper from the Holiday catalog!  Lots of gorgeous gold and black patterns. And the gold and silver foil doilies are so much fun to use.  Don't you love when stuff goes together so well?  That is the SU way.

I hope you enjoy my take on the sketch this week, and thanks so much for stopping by.

Stampin Up and Paper Players Challenge #259


It's sunday afternoon, hope you all had a great weekend.  It's all the same to me as I'm retired, except for those 3 days a week I go into town and Curves.
This wreath is a new take this season on the Wonderous Wreath called  Peaceful Wreath, and it uses the same set of Framelits.
Here I have stamped it in Versamark Ink and embossed in Silver. I colored in the Holly and berries using markers.  Unlike last years set, there is only one Wreath stamp in this set, however, hmmmm wonder if they could be combined?

The banner is made using Merry Moments from the annual catalog for this year. Yaaa, a Holiday section is back in the annual catalog again.
Here is the sketch for Paper Players 259:

Have a great week, and remember, Christmas is coming! Will your cards be ready??????

Stampin Up, Screen card


I don't always post the cards I make for class projects, but this was one we did last week. It's a very easy card fold.  I don't usually do card folds as they can get complicated and time consuming, but this one wasn't either of those.  You start with your base card at 5 1/2" x 11". Fold in half, then bring each side in to meet the middle.
The bottom is made using the Decorative label punch.
The mat (red layer) is 2 3/8" x 4 1/4"
Top layer is 2 1/4" x 4".

You can dress it up by using a border punch along the top edge if you like.  I kept mine simple using  news set in the Holiday catalog (available for purchase Sept 1, 2015).  I used the branch from Peaceful Wreaths and Reason for the Season for the pointsettia and sentiment.

Have fun with this, thanks for stopping by.
