Getting on with it--
I made this-
Next--
Okay, so this is the stamp that the cabin came from. Can you see it on the other card now? Anyway, TONS of fun sponging this guy, and the inside is even better--
I just LOVE this for some reason. Maybe the red lettering?
Anyway, I liked it so much, I made these--
I really liked these.
So, in a totally different vein, I decided to try some water coloring techniques, and I came up with these--
I love pink at Christmas, especially with gold. These were fun, but I am slow with them. They need LOTS of drying time!
The next few were fun, fast, and easily reproduced.
I like the two different red papers used to make these deer.
I mish-mashed up all kinds of things on these, but I really love Julie Ebersole's Christmas sets from Ellen Hutson, and cutting the sentiments into little pieces like that made me smile. And, foil paper, because shiny.
Moving along, I liked this one where I played around with repetitive stamping--
And, to literally wrap this up, these two, that were inspired by a Kristina Werner card from a few years ago--
I thought they were kind of silly, really, but my champion Charlie loved them, so...
ANYWAY--
Okay, I was going to do one more post with the last couple of cards, but I'm just going to add them.
These are the Hanukkah cards--
I love white pigment ink on dark card stock!
Home, community, world religions, candles, winter parties...Get it?
Next year, I will need at least six Hanukkah cards, so my designs will have to expand greatly. I have just a few stamps for this, so creativity will be key!
AND FINALLY--
The thank you cards looked like this--
I love this Winter Wishes stamp set from Stampin' Up! The sentiment is from Another Thank You, also SU.
Okay, so, again, so sorry for the lousy photos; its what I get for waiting until the VERY last second to take pics. Some cards weren't worth showing here, which is sucky for me, because the cards themselves were pretty nice.
Oh, well, there's always next year...
And, hopefully, I'll post before then!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
All Best-
Richard
