Thinking of you and Christmas cards

The special effect that you get by raising the cuts on this card to different levels really makes it special.

You can always use a Thinking of You card, right? 

The Cookie Cutter set with the gingerbread image also has these cute Eskimo kids.

Paired up with the Cable Knit folder just makes for a nice warm feeling. 

This one uses many scrap pieces from my stash. 

I was really pleased that I found so many little packets of card stock that went so well together. 

There is some stamping on the card front for a background effect that doesn't show up on here. 

There are some snowflakes in the background with VersaMark so it looks like tone on tone. 

Please leave a comment to let me know which of the cards that you like the best. 

Thanks.

Quick and Easy cards

These are the quick and easy cards this time. 

This one is put through the Big Shot in the wreath folder and has a ribbon added. 

You won't find the die for the Joy in the catalog but you will find one for YOU. 

When you cut it out you must cut it on the back side so you can cut part of the U off to make it a J. 

Some people are so cleaver! Not I. I saw it on line some place and thought you would enjoy it. 

This one doesn't look so easy but it is. 

Die cut the leaf, put the rest through the BS in the Woodland folder, sponge, and put it back together. 

You do need to cut the detailed leaf from the layer piece and be careful to get it in a corner so it doesn't show through when you put it back together. 

This one is super easy! 

Stamp the image, attach it to the layer, and attach that to the card base. 

You could add color to the pheasants but they don't need it. 

Another super easy one. 

This one is set up on the Stamparatus. 

All you have to do is place the card stock on the grid, ink it up, and close the Stamparatus. 

It is done with pigment ink, so you need to be careful not to smear the ink. Let it dry for awhile or use the heat tool to dry it.

Special folds

I have a few "different" folds for you this time.  

This one starts with a half sheet of 81/2" by 11" cut diagonally. 

I am so glad that you (some of the gals at the SA) talked me into getting this set. 

I wasn't going to but so glad that I did. 

I used the set Peaceful Place for the inside of the card. 

When you open this gingerbread card, it looks like the pan of cookies are coming out of the oven. 

You will just have to come to the Stamp Along on Monday, November 12th to see it. 

This one is a folded piece of DSP that opens like an explosion card. 

Once you learn the fold, you can make several of them very quickly. 

Again, you need to come and see how it unfolds.

Happy November!

Where does the time go? 

I am feeling better but the cold still isn't totally gone. 

I am almost ready to go. 

 Here are a few of the cards that are packed for the Stamp Along. 

Do you get together with family for Thanksgiving?

Do you make wonderful homemade pies? 

This card would be super for the baker! 

The Basket Weave folder does a good job of making Crumb Cake card stock look like pie crust. 

You can customize the crust by the amount of sponging that you add. 

This is a nice late fall card. 

The trees sure shed their leaves in a hurry this past week!

Do you need a wedding or Anniversary card? 

Both of these have the same elements added to them but the placement is a little different. 

It does make a difference. 

Which one do you like better? 

It is difficult to see on the photo but there is a bit of Wink of Stella on the branches. 

Since I won't be blogging any more after tonight, I am going to schedule a few posts so I can show you a few more of the cards even though I will be gone. 

I don't want you to miss me too much. 

I will be able to get the comments that you leave while I am gone so, please, say something about the cards!
