Black and Kraft with a bit of white for the ghosts seemed to fit today as I was watching A Christmas Carol with George C Scott. So for my card I found my Newton’s Nook Designs Spooky Roundabout stamp. I inked it in black VersaFine and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I added some white to the ghosts with a Posca pen and die cut a SimonSaysStamp Ghouls and Tree ghost. Sentiment strip is SSS, too. Spellbinder’s scallop and circle dies were used to make my frame. A bit of kraft ink blended on the focal panel then added to another piece of kraft cardstock and finally to a black card base. It is always fun to play along with:

Winter is definitely on the way….our temperatures have been very January-like and a bit of snow is sticking around. For my card today, I pulled out Whimsy Stamps Snowball Friends card fronts which was die cut with a Taylored Expressions Arched stacklet then mounted on a stitched rectangle and on a piece of patterned paper that was on my desk. My favorite snowflakes die and sentiment which were previously cut completes my card. I really seem to be in a pink and green mood lately and I didn’t even see the movie Wicked For Good!!!

I would like to share my card with:

I was stuck for ideas for my Christmas cards this year when I came across Whimsy Papers Woodland Santa cardfronts and I was energized to get to work with these amazing images. I know they won’t be for everyone but they really spoke to me. The Santa was die cut using Taylored Expressions Arched Stacklets with a backing layer in green cardstock. The TE Kraft cardstock notecard was stamped in kraft ink with TE’s Fineline Foliage background stamp. The sentiment strip was from my stash and the little holly/berry leaves enamel dots were a TE gift with purchase.

My card will be shared with the following challenges:

I was digging deep in my stash to find a Christmas present design when I came across this Hampton Arts Outline mounted red rubber stamp. I decided on green packages with a light blue tissue paper, red bows and gold stars. A few snowflakes were added to fill in the space. The image and patterned paper from my stash were backed with black shimmer cardstock.

SimonSaysStamp Wild Berry Wreath embossing folder embossed over Taylored Expressions foiled insider panel. This was card attempt number two.

This was card attempt number one with some ink swiping and red marker for the berries. I wish I would have stopped at the green ink swiping. That red is really throwing me off so I made the second and just kept it white. This embossing folder is quite thick but I don’t believe it is an actual 3D. My card will be shared with:
