Every good wish during December needs a “Be Merry”
Back to traditional Christmas colors for my card today. I love the way the negative stamped greetings look on a card. And you don’t have to stamp it perfect for it to look fabulous, so that’s an added bonus. Especially when you are doing a stack of them all at once. The greetings that are […]
‘Tis the season, another snowflake
Well it’s definitely not snowing in south Texas, although we are finally getting cooler weather! I wanted create a card to remind me of Christmas and snow. I started out with my new Swirly Snowflakes thinlits dies to create a card. I tried die cutting silver foil paper, white, and even the Night of Navy […]

Peace on Earth, to everyone today
