Finally, Texas is experiencing a little “chill” in the air so my Christmas card creations are helping. Here’s my second card using my Peaceful Pines bundle. It’s a simple card with traditional colors. But instead of stamping a tree, I used the Perfect Pines framelit die to cut the tree out on the Whisper White front. I layered a […]

Weekly WOW Deals – November 17-23!
Well when technology works, it’s great. But when you have a slow connection, it sucks!! Hopefully you will see this correctly. Sorry I can’t add my pictures of my wreath, but see my earlier post for the Halloween version. I’ve since turned it into my Thanksgiving wreath by changing the swag, but can’t post the […]
Technique Tuesday – Kissing Your Stamps
Yes, I know you love your stamp sets, I love mine, too! But I didn’t mean for you to actually kiss your stamps! “Kissing” in the stamp world is a technique where you ink a solid image stamp and then press it onto an uninked pattern stamp before stamping the image. When you do this, this […]

There are several ways to create this effect, one by using the “Rainbow” technique […]
Snowflakes and Nights of Navy for a wintery scene, but it’s still warm outside
Today’s Christmas card uses Night of Navy, Whisper White and Silver to make this wintery scene. I keep hoping for cooler temperatures – not freezing, remember I’m a Texas girl at heart, but 50-60’s would be nice. Even 70’s are sounding good right about now! This card was created with the dotted Christmas tree stamp […]
Trees in the snow, but thank goodness not in Houston!
I know, I’ve been talking about cooler temperatures, but I don’t want snow! That’s why I live in Texas, usually no snow! I’m back to traditional Christmas colors of red and green for this Christmas card. This card uses the Perfect Pines framelits dies to cut 2 different size trees. I used 2 of the other dies […]
Gold adds sparkle to Christmas Holly wreath
Yesterday’s cards and a design from the Stampin’ Up ! annual catalog inspired this card. This time I used the Holly Berry design from the Home for Christmas DSP and cut out the wreath with the Wonderful Wreath framelit dies. I needed a small print that would complement the Holly Berry paper. Back to my retired […]
