 Good morning, Friends!

Today's card is actually a Christmas card - yay, Me!  As promised earlier with this card and this card, today's card is an additional image from a stamp set I've used a couple of times recently but they weren't Christmas cards.  Here is my foray down Christmas lane ~

Now isn't this a fun lamp post?  It makes me think that I can feel the soft snow falling on my face and hear the distant singing of carolers.  I'm really not sure how safe burning candles are on a wooden post though...

Stamping, a little ink blending, paint splattering (or at least an attempt), and then a foiled sentiment.  I knew I was going to turn this image into a Christmas card for the stash but I may just surprise you and make another!

I'm squeaking in but this card will be entered over at Peace On Earth #50, being totally inspired by the wintry scenes and the bright red truck.

Supplies:

   SSS - Cozy Wishes

   Splb - Elegant Holiday glimmer sentiment

   LI - Stitched Rectangle die

Well I'm off to see if I can get more Christmas cards made; I colored a few images on vacation plus embossed a bunch of backgrounds to play with -- let's see if I can put something together for my stash.  Wish me luck!

Hugs,

Happy Halloween?

Greetings!

So I ask, is Happy Halloween an oxymoron?  Depends on who you ask, I guess.  However, happy is a must if you ever want to see me around Halloween.  We've never really celebrated it with our kids, but it sure doesn't bother me that others do.  However I must say that me making Halloween cards is definitely something that I'm not used to.  It all started when someone (I wonder who?) enabled me to buy an adorable stamp set, then it took flight from there.  Wanna see?

This one is a true Halloween card though I'm unsure which direction it'll swoosh off to.  My second card is a bit of a mixture of holidays, like Halloween and Thanksgiving.  I changed directions in what I was doing, and so this morphed into a card to send to my grandson -- a thankful heart to have him in our lives! 

They recently moved across the state and Grandpa and I aren't fairing so well...  this card whisked its way out the door to him.  As for these images?  Just you wait and see... there's more to come!

I'll send a card to NBUS #55 since I just got this stamp set, and Inspired by Boo and yes, I'm barely sliding in!!!

 

Supplies:

   WF - Boo Combo stamps/dies (NBUS)

   MFT - Blueprints 27

   MCS (oob) - Happy Thanksgiving sentiment on card #2

And while you're all snuggly in your comfy pajamas, think of me sitting outside in the mid 30's, huddled around a propane fire, sipping hot cocoa, watching a movie on a big screen and handing out candy to the kiddos!  Enjoy!

Masculine Fall Birthday 2.0

Greetings, Friends!

I hope your week if off to a fabulous start and the remainder is a blessing yet to come.

Today's card is another masculine fall Birthday card ~

While I really wrestled with doing a bit of inking on the leaves, I decided that I really just liked the leaves and their texture with the blue and kraft colors.  While additional colors would've been beautiful, sometimes keeping it simple is just as good!  This card's pretty self-explanatory so I'll save you the ya-da ya-da!

Supplies:

   LF - Stitched Leaves

   Splb - Labels 4 (I think.... lost my recipe note -- doh!)

Today is Halloween and while Hubbs and I don't celebrate it, I do hope you celebrate to your heart's content and consume all the goodies you desire!

Hugs,

TK

A Little Message to Say

Welcome!

Today's card comes from the fact that I still had this stamp out on my desk from this card, so I thought I'd change up the design and make another card from my stash ~

I Copic-colored in slightly mellower colors, placed a piece of dp horizontally and then mimicked the mailbox square with a foiled square sentiment label.  I also added a bit of glossy accents on the berries, as well.

Supplies:

   SSS - Cozy Wishes

   Splb - ?? glimmer sentiment plate

Well hopefully I'll be hiding in my craft room this weekend for A TON of Christmas card making!  I'm WAY behind and need to make a bunch, so hopefully I'll be back with a few cards soon.  I was able to do some random coloring while on vacation, maybe that'll kickstart my deficit!

Take care and enjoy your weekend.

Hugs,

TK

 

Masculine Fall Birthday

Hello!

I have returned from afar and can now catch up on a few posts.  Are you ready? 

A quick card, but definitely a fall Birthday card ~

A foil plate, foiled in copper, die cut and placed over a color panel and sentiment added.  EZ PZ, lemon Squeezee!  This card went to a co-worker while I was away on vacation.  The other gals had a bit of a party, and I'm so happy they carried on without me -- my card's presence was enough for me...

I think I'll send this over to The Four Seasons - Anything Goes Fall, although I didn't use the inspiration photo board.

Supplies:

   Splb - Autumn Leaf border glimmer plate & copper foil

   PFS - Folk Edge Rectangle dies

Thanks for the visit -- see you soon!

Hugs,

TK
