Simple Christmas Wreath

I once again have used this wreath stamp that is very simple.  It is a basic twig wreath and I have added color with my Copic Markers.  By using a basic tear drop shape I added the green over the branches.  Using red Stickles for berries and green Stickles to look like frosty ice.My ribbon was a basic red and white stripe and it was too stark for the card, so I colored the white with a green Copic Marker.  Great way to alter your ribbon when you just don't have the right color.  Add a sentiment and there you have a card.
Thanks for stopping by.  ~Nancy~

2 post in one day???

This is another one of those quick cards I made over the weekend after I pulled the Christmas supplies out of the closet.   The stamp is from Stampin UP! and was gold embossed on white paper.  I used Ranger Distress Ink on the image to add the dimension.  The paper I used has a vintage look with the small print and colors.  I also have posted the image of the inside with the simple sentiment and the red pattern scallop trim at the top.
Once again let me know if you have any questions.  Have a great night.

Easy Christmas Cards

Today I want to share a couple of cards that I made with a new embossing folder. This is from a Tim Holtz collection and comes with 3 smaller folders.
One of the other designers at All About Pictures wanted to purchase this set but really did't want this folder, so we decided to split the set between us and that made us both happy.
Of course I used Ranger Distress Ink to color them up.  This one to the left was also sprayed with Perfect Pearls. (it really doesn't show up in this picture).  Add a bow, small sentiment then layer some papers and there you have a couple of easy cards.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Holidays

So I did a little house keeping this weekend and moved the fall crafting supplies into storage and pulled the Christmas boxes down.  As I rummaged through everything I pulled a few stamps out and decided to just play a little with Copic Markers, Distress Inks and embossing techniques.  Today I want to share this Holiday ornament card that I colored with Copics.  I used various colors to decorate the ornaments and put a little bit of gloss on some areas to make them shine. As you can see there's some bling and bows to finish it off.
I hope everyone had a little time to release some creativity this weekend and you are re-charged for the week ahead.  Have a GREAT week.  ~Nancy~

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  I am still recovering from eating way too much food, but it is now time to have a little crafting time and more relaxation.  Many of you may be preparing for the Black Friday rush, which has been in swing several hours already for most of us.  I lucked out and don't have to work tomorrow until 11:00am so I can stay up and play for a while tonight.  I hope all have had a blessed day.
