Merry Christmas!!!

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments.  I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

Today's card is the last I'm sharing this year.  Indeed, after 101 others, this is my last post for 2016.  For such a momentous occasion, I've chosen to share a design that if time allowed, I'd create for each and every one of you, my precious readers and friends...

Thank you is not enough to express my gratitude for your support.  I love each of you more than you know.  And, as the card says...

Be filled with

WONDER

Be touched by

PEACE

Believe in the

MIRACLE

Emboss Resist Christmas Bears

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments.  I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

When it came to designing the kids' Christmas cards, of course I wanted to team Flurry of Wishes with Baby Bear.  But I also wanted to change them up from the Beary Christmas cards I shared with you back in October, so decided to get out the sponge brayers and create these cuties...

Ink: Versamark, Pool Party and Dapper Denim, Blushing Bride and Flirty Flamingo; Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso
Stamp sets: Flurry of Wishes and Baby Bear
Tools and embellishments: White and Clear Stampin' Emboss powders, sponge brayers and heat tool
Adhesives: Tombow

Beary Christmas Trio

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments.  I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

I'm sure by now y'all know who addicted I am to the Baby Bear stamp set?  If not, click here and you'll soon see!  I said back in August that I wanted to try and create as many different Christmas cards with the Flurry of Wishes bundle as I can, so what better than to combine the two?

As you can hopefully see from these three cards, the possibilities are limitless!  If I'd not fussy cut the bears, they would be relatively quick to create.  And given how many cards I need to create, I'll likely replicate the designs a few times that way keep this design to a minimum and create as many unique cards as I can.  Plan B was accomplished and I'll share more of the designs with you soon.

Card: Dapper Denim, Pool Party and Whisper White

Flurry of Wishes

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments.  I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

The sun may be out as we all enjoy the last weeks before the cooler weather arrives, but the holiday season will be here before we know it.  And while the leaves are starting to fall (at least they are outside my window), my thoughts have long since turned to another type of precipitation; snow!  I started creating my Christmas cards back in July, and hope to have them all finished by mid September.

The majority of them are being created using the NBUS (never before used schtuff) Flurry of Wishes stamp and coordinating punch from Stampin' Up!  Believe me, there are SO many ways to create with it.  I'll show you more nearer the time, but today's card is a QACAS creation in my chosen colors, Pool Party and Dapper Denim...

Card: Whisper White
Ink: Pool Party and Dapper Denim
Stamp sets: Flurry of Wishes
Tools and embellishments: Snow Flurry punch and Basic Rhinestones
Adhesives: Tombow and Stampin' Dimensionals
