More Xmas Cheer

Shelagh S.

Shelagh's card was triple embossed! Once with the filigree frame TIEF.  Second the sentiment was heat embossed in gold.   Third she used the versamarker to go over the dots and heat embossed them with red ep.

Kathy M.

 I don't know what all Kathy did to make her card, but she always puts in a lot of effort and it shows!

Gayle L.

Gayle's card is fun and full of whimsy with the bird house dsp and the birds on the snowman.

Happy Stamping!  Mary 

Merry Christmas from the Muhlenkamps!

2014 Christmas Card, front

2014 Christmas Card, inside

I thought it would take me awhile to make this year's  card, but it went fairly quickly!  Of course, I didn't want to have 120 Smokey Slate ovals, so I incorporated them into the design.  It also covered up where the cardinal, which I had colored with blendabilities, bled through.

The card colors were inspired pair of flannel pj's I own.  The pj's are white with gray branches and red cardinals printed on them.

SUPPLIES:
sets - Beauty of the Season, Delightful Dozen
cs - 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" whisper white card base,  5-1/4" x 4" smokey slate
ink - tuxedo black momento ink pad, cherry cobbler pad, marker and blendabilities, summer starfruit marker
access - big shot, filigree frame TIEF, ovals collection framelits, dimensionals

Happy Stamping! and Merry Christmas!  Mary

Cheryl's Card, inside

Cheryl's birthday is in Nov.  I've seen all her thank you cards, so she gave me this card instead!  She wrote her note on a separate piece of paper.  She knew that I would enjoy the sample; she's a demo, too.  I love this elegant, yet simple, card!

Happy Stamping!  Mary

These are some more of the hand stamped  cards I received.  I love getting Christmas cards, and especially hand made ones!

The last one was made by my great nephew, Noah.  He even signed the back!  My niece is teaching him well.  He will be 7 yrs old at the end of this month.  In the photo, he's the front left little boy.

Merry Christmas!

I got this beautiful card from my upline, Tami Waddell.  She used a sponge dauber to burnish gold ink onto the filigree frame to really make it stand out.
