Day 4 of my Christmas Countdown :)

Good Morning/afternoon all!

This card you are seeing is probably one of the easiest cards I've done so far :)

The tree images are from Rubbernecker . I really love these trees. They stamp so mice and clean and if I wanted a softer feel with these trees I can do it....I'm not as successful with the Lovely As A Tree set from Stampin' Up. If anyone has some tips please throw them my way...I love this set and actually borrowed it from a very good friend of mine who is also an amazingly talented lady. She uses this set with ease...I for whatever reason couldn't get the same effect with the set.

Well off I go to rest up...thank you everyone for the well wishes! You all are so very sweet. It's actually getting worse, when I thought I was getting better it just decided it wasn't ready to vacate. So now it's set up shop in my chest and throat! JOY!

Hopefully everyone has a great day!

Good Morning everyone :)

It has been almost a week and I'm back and ready to share my newest card. I almost didn't have energy to keep up with everything that was going on this week including stamping...too much going on. I'll get back to that another time :)

Now this card was done with different sets and I promised myself to incorporate only 1 embelly...not including ribbon :) I have to have ribbon.lol...that is just a given. I wanted something simple but elegant looking...I think for Christmas cards you need to be careful with how much you put into the card, especially if you plan on mailing some out. Threadart is where I buy my glass rhinestones with all of the other colors you can't go wrong :) it is in fact the perfect embelly that is nice and small that will give cards that small feature with a big (Unff).

I did actually weighed this card and sized it through the mailing slot device thingy...lol...I have at home for shipping purposes and it is in fact thin and light enough to pass through regular letter mail with a no extra postage :) I'm quite happy with that fact...it gives me the incentive to make more because it won't cost more...I will be posting more cards just like this so I hope you stop by and check it out.

Her is the inside of the card with a snowflake in the corner...just enough to complete it. I have to admit I wasn't one to really do the insides of the card I make but I love doing it now...it just doesn't seem complete without a pretty inside

A Cottage Christmas

Hi everyone so here is the card I said I would post. I absolutely love the feel of this card. I decided I wanted it to reflect the image so I kept it simple. And simple for me is not an easy thing to do. No bling, brads, metals or even distressing...lol...but it came out really pretty just the same.


I wasn't able to take back the MS punch because the Walmart I go to no longer carries the packaging it came in. They said it was in some sort of introductory packaging that they no longer carry so the skew is new and the old ones are not in their system anymore. So here I am quite confused and just told whateva! I couldn't even exchange it or even refund it. I was mad at the time but there wasn't anything I could do except buy one from Michaels. I got it with my 40% coupon so it's wasn't too bad. Plus I got a few more during the week with the other 40% coupons I got that are printed on the reciepts :)) I have yet to use but can't wait and when I do they'll be posted up!

Rubbernecker is another of my favorite Stamp companies. The trees I used on the inside of the card are from Rubbernecker.
