Christmas in April

Here are the cards I finished (early, for once!) for my monthly card challenge. Six more Christmas cards ready when I need them in December!

Today's post is brief, due to preparations for the Moovers and Shakers weekend. I can't wait for tomorrow!!!
Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope you have a stampingly fabulous weekend - I know I will!

Another "One of a Kind"

Seriously starting to feel the time crunch here since I wanted to mail my cards by Saturday, but what am I doing?  Making pretty "one off" cards when I really should be mass-producing some CAS ones!  *sigh*  When the mojo is flowing, it's so hard to stop!  Check out the gold glitter peeking through the crochet trim (click on image, then click again):

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Deck the Halls DSP
Ink: Cherry Cobbler Craft, Blushing Bride Stampin' Write Marker, So Saffron Stampin' Write Marker

Easy Peasy Christmas

Today I am thankful that my dad is on his way to spend Thanksgiving with us!  He's been battling (and winning) Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for about 5 years, so I treasure every blessed moment we share.

Here is a card that is a perfect example of "quick and easy" (and if you know me, you know how I love those words!).  All you need is some Designer Series Paper, and an appropriate greeting. The paper becomes the main focal point, rather than a stamped image, so you don't have to mess with stamping and coloring.  Like I said, quick and easy!

The only thing I did to dress it up a bit was add the triple bow with an Antique Brad center, and heat emboss the greeting.

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Brushed Gold
DSP: Deck the Halls
Ink: Cherry Cobbler Craft
Accessories: Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder, Heat Tool, Very Vanilla 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon, Antique Brads
