Again, time is getting the best of me and I've been a bad bad blogger. So...today I'm actually going to share some art! What a novel idea!
Lucky for me, I spent last Sunday afternoon crafting with 8 talented ladies. They each made 5 cards and the photo below shows three of them. Now you might recognize these designs if you have a copy of the Autumn/Winter Idea Book as while they are not exact, I used the Idea Book designs as inspiration. Here they are.
My personal favourite is the Reindeer! I absolutely love this stamp! It is brand new for Autumn/Winter 2010 and the set is called C1427 "I Believe". In fact, if you click on that link, you'll see the card I used as inspiration! The colours are Chocolate, White Daisy and the brand new Tulip. I am working on a scrapbook layout right now to present at an upcoming CTMH home gathering as well, and I'll post that just as soon as it's ready to go. I just love the silhouette images with the interior flourishes and snowflakes. To create the sentiment - I used a technique called masking. I am also currently putting together a photo tutorial on just how I did this, so watch here for updates on that.
The card on the right features the snowman and sentiment from D1244 "Snow Friends". With his skinny little stick arms he's a bit tricky to cut out, but if you're careful, you can manage it. I stamped the image once and then pop-dotted the coloured image on top. He is just too cute for words! For this card I used White Daisy, Cranberry and Indian Corn Blue.
And....don't forget that the holidays are going to be here before you know it, and if you're planning on making your own holiday cards you should get to it because time is a ticking. I like to make sure that mine are in the mail during the final days of November so that the recipients can start their December with just a little dose of holiday cheer in their mailboxes. What that means is, if you need to order supplies, now is the time -- so don't forget to contact me right away if there is anything I can help you with - or you can call me at 905-317-8823 anytime as well.
Happy Stamping!
