Warm Birthday Hugs

~

Hey there!

I'm back today to show you a couple of cards I made for December birthdays, using Christmas stamps.  I would want to receive warm hugs in a mug for my birthday, wouldn't you?

~

~

~

For these cards I used the adorable Mama Elephant Hot Cocoa stamps and dies.

And I created shaker cards using Amy Rysavy's tutorial here.  It's so easy!!

Thanks for stopping by!

2021 Grandkids Christmas cards

~

Hi, all!

I'm popping in today to share the Christmas cards I made for my grandkids.

You can see the granddaughters' Christmas Trees card post and links for supplies HERE.

I used the Concord and 9th Cards Stacks base dies, and the Home for the Holidays stamps and dies for the grandsons.

They were fun to make and the kids love them!  Even the teenagers!!

Seasonal Sprig in Gold - Color Throwdown #673

~

Hey y'all!  It's time for a new Color Throwdown challenge and I'm hosting this week.  It's also the last challenge of this year.  We will be  taking a couple of weeks off for the holidays.

Our colors this week are Red, Pink, and Mint Green.

~

~

Since these are perfect Christmas colors, I actually DID make a Christmas card!  Surprise!

~

~

The Seasonal Sprig from Taylored Expressions was heat embossed in gold and water colored using Distress inks.  I splattered the panel with the same ink colors, and outlined the panel, adding a couple of extra lines on the right, with a gold gel pen.

Here is a better look at the gold:

~

And since I'm SO behind on making my Christmas cards this year, I also made a simple version that is currently being mass-produced.  I hope to have them in the mail in the next day or two!

~

Now we would love to see what you come up with!  Post your creation over at the CTD blog!  And check out the great inspiration here:
