Cardinal Christmas


All supplies are Stampin' Up.
Autumn Meadows and Merry Moments paper along with Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red, and Whisper White cardstocks. Cardinal colored in markers and shaded with chalk pastels. Corner image is from Patterned Pines. Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon is retired.

Autumn Days Christmas


I was so happy to have this card featured on Stampers Showcase today (on the demonstrator side of the Stampin' Up website.)
After the Medallion stamp which takes the number one spot as my favorite new one from this year's SU catalog, my second favorite is the set Autumn Days. It is not just for fall, I love it for year round versatility. The beautiful pheasant is great for guy cards, the silhouette floral sprays can be used for just about anything, and the pine branch is perfect for Winter and Christmas.
For this card I used Ruby Red, Artichoke cardstocks with the branch stamped in Soft Suede and used the polka dot Soft Suede ribbon, Latte buttons, and linen thread.

Christmas Teddy Train


All supplies used are Stampin' Up, some retired.
Embossed wheel tracks in silver. Choo Choo images cut out and popped up on dimensionals. I also used the Loads of Love and accessories sets for tree and gifts, a pine branch from the retired Holiday Sampler set and the teddy from the Paper Dolls set along with Best Wishes and More sentiment. Homemade cloud stencil with torn paper and Soft Sky ink.

Delightful Decorations


I clear embossed the Tres Chic background on the Bravo Burgundy, backed with Kraft and ornaments (Delightful Decorations) and sentiment (Winter Post) are on the Very Vanilla. Poinsettia behind sentiment was made with 5 petal flower punch and Dazzling Diamonds. All supplies are Stampin' Up.

Paper Blossom


For the CAS challenge today to use white and only one other color, I used Whisper White and Brushed Gold by Stampin' Up. Warmest Regards sentiment also by SU embossed in gold. SU embossing folder also used.
For the Technique Lovers challenge for handmade torn paper blossoms, I cheated a little and used a Marvy punch and coffee filters instead of paper towels. Added gold beads to flower center.
