Christmas Cards 2016

Happy Saturday!

This year for my Christmas cards, I made two variations of the same card.
I made 97 cards this year, about half of each design.
I cut the white panel with the star cut out on my Brother Scan N Cut.

I stamped the mini Nativity in the lower right hand corner.  
The stamps are from PaperTrey Ink - only $5 for a great mini nativity!

  
The inks are PTI Enchanted Evening and Dark Indigo.
Cardstock used is PTI White and Enchanted Evening.

The second card below, I used stamps from Taylored Expressions - Rejoice!


I added Metallic Silver Washi tape strip down the left side and also
to the blue cardstock behind the star, so it would be silver.

A great way to add a little sparkle. 

Inside Verse:


And she will bear a Son, and
you shall call His name Jesus, for He
will save His people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:21



May the beautiful gift of Jesus
fill your home this holiday season
and throughout the coming year.
 Merry Christmas!

It was nice to make a handstamped card this year.  
The last couple years I used printed images for the sake of time.

Next week, I will have another Christmas card prototype,
which I hope to use next year.  This has never happened, imagine to
have a Christmas card design a year in advance and even a few made!

Thanks for stopping by...

Valentine - Washi Tape

Hi All,

Today, I have this years Valentine going out to family and homebound this week.  I was excited to use Washi tape for the first time.  I won this trio of Washi tape in a challenge at Marker Pop back in November.  They have an awesome selection, however when I chose my 3 rolls I went for a set since I had never used it before.

The grid paper stamp is from Taylored Expressions.  The verse is from Biblical Impressions "And His Name" one of my favorite sheets of scripture stampsI've gotten a lot of use out of them this last year. 

The base cardstock is PaperTrey Ink White.  The heart accent is a Cricut cut out, then I added a gemI made 25 of these cards in only a couple hours.  Using the Cricut to cut out the hearts all at once was a huge time saver.  How did I get along without the Cricut?

The layout was inspired by Retro Sketches #45 - Love their CAS sketches.
