Pinecone Card

This simple card was made with Lacy Labels (for the 2-layer shape), and the blossom punch from SU!  The pinecone is made from one of the shapes that this punch makes.  I also added a bit of stickles in gold to the edges of the pinecone.  You can learn how to make it at http://valitasfreshfolds.blogspot.com/2011/12/christmas-punch-pine-cones.html - it is really easy to do.  Thanks for looking!

Tag Challenge

Sheila from She's a Sassy Lady has a Christmas tag challenge on her blog.  This is my entry for the challenge.  The tag is made from Lacy Labels, the deer are from Wildlife Lite, and the background trees are from the SU! Lovely as a Tree set.  I wish I had a slightly larger Merry Christmas stamp, but other than that, I am happy with it and plan to make more for this year's gift giving.  I think this would be a nice background for a masculine card, too.

Winter or Christmas card

This is the same layout as yesterday's post. The stamped image in the center is a Penny Black stamp. I think this is a fun stamped image.

Any Occasion

Okay, another girly card. I can't help it. I made the matted window with my gypsy and the Lacy Labels cartridge. The stamp is Botanical Script by Inkadinkadoo. It was stamped with a plum pigment ink, then I lightly stained over it with Tim Holtz tea stain distress ink pad. It picked up the plum color ink and the 2 colors are swirled together. Looks really cool up close. The small butterfly is a hand punch--I think by Martha Stewart.

Happy Hoppers Missing You

This is a card front made with a Happy Hopper stamped image. I love this little bunny, and the background paper is a little greener than shows up in the photo. The black frame was cut from Lacy Labels, and the sentiment was cut from the Stamping solutions cartridge. The red mat was custom cut to fit the image.

Friends

I just love Penny Black stamps. This one is from the Valentines acrylic set. I added a bit of stickles to the flower.

The white lace doily shape is from Lacy Labels, the yellow piece is embossed with the Welcome Baby Cuttlebug card combo folder. The purple strip is punched with the EK Success Swiss Cheese border punch.

Card with Lacy Labels lite cartridge

I had to make something with my new Lacy Labels cartridge. I never know what I am making when I start out. Either the die cuts or the paper inspire me. This time was definitely the cartridge! The two shaped cuts are from Lacy Labels. The eyelet is a MS border punch, and the center scalloped circle is and EK Success punch. I paper pierced the scalloped circle and stamped a rose (colored with Bic Marks a Lot markers).
