Mail Your Cards!

How many of you hoard the cards you make?  I think it's a pretty common occurrence, along with hoarding DSP.  After all, we are so pleased with our work, we hate to let it go.

Well, we just celebrated World Card Making Day on Saturday.  Now I challenge you to have World Card Sending Week!  Send out those beautiful cards you created and make someone smile.  From Oct. 6-12, send as many cards as you can.  Let me know how many you send and I will give a prize of Holiday Rhinestones to the person who sends the most cards.  Be honest now! 

I can't wait to see your results!

Christmas Box Gifts

Special appreciation gifts for those attending my World Card Making Day Event today!  I just LOVE this Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper and it was so much fun making these boxes.

Happy World Card Making Day!

I hope you have some fun getting inky today!  Here are some project suggestions for you to make.

This card features the God's Peace stamp set on page 28 of the Holiday Catalog colored with Stampin' Blends markers.  This is a simple version of the card.  Step it up by stamping the poinsettia on a piece of scrap, cutting it out and attaching it with a Dimensional over the main stamped image.  Want even more pop?  Cover the image stamped on scrap with the Shimmery Crystal Effects (Holiday Catalog p. 41), let it dry and then cut it out and attach with the Dimensional.  

The 'Tis the Season card features the Brightly Gleaming DSP on page 32 in the Holiday Catalog and the Jolly Season Dies on page 25.  The beauty and elegance of the DSP are the focus of this lovely card.

This darling snowman card was made with the Snowman Season stamp set on page 20 of the Holiday Catalog and Itty Bitty Christmas page 16.  Basic Rhinestones and the Ice Stampin' Glitter on page 41 of the Holiday Catalog give this card a wonderful sparkle.  The Frosted Frames Dies (Holiday Catalog p. 41) were used to create the awesome frame around the snowman.

This beautiful scene was created using the Feels Like Frost DSP on page 42 of the Holiday Catalog.  The sleigh dies are made using the Jolly Season Dies on page 25 and popped up with Dimensionals.  This card is simple and does a fabulous job of showcasing gorgeous DSP images.

This card was created using the Free Skate stamp set on page 44 of the Holiday Catalog.  The background DSP is another example of the gorgeous images in the Feels Like Frost DSP (Holiday Catalog p. 42).  The Detailed Skate Dies (Holiday Catalog p. 44) cut out the skates and bow with perfect precision.  One single rhinestone from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (Holiday Catalog p. 58) gives a perfect accent.  The sentiment was punched out with the Story Label punch in the Annual Catalog.  

Elegance and beauty is the best way to describe this card that features the Bells are Ringing stamp set (Holiday Catalog p. 17) and the Free Skate stamp set (Holiday Catalog p. 44).  The Detailed Bells Dies on page 17 of the Holiday Catalog give an amazing detail and elegance to the bells.  Mercury Glass Designer Acetate (Holiday Catalog p. 33) gives an incredible beauty and dimension to this card.
