Happy Winter

Happy Tuesday! Donna K here with you today. 

I know it's not "officially" winter just yet...but.....

It is very cold and snowy in many parts of the country so

I wanted to share my pretty winter card with you.

The challenge at Sweet Stamps this week is 

Non Traditional Christmas Colors

I was going for that theme when I started thinking that...

is there such a thing any more?

I personally can't really answer that because I love all the colors of the season.

The blog world is full of so many beautiful colorful designs that it is

all just wonderful to me!

"Give Thanks..."

"Give thanks to the LORD for He is good." 

                                                   Psalm 136:1

Hello, and happy Thursday to you all!

Sandie here again...a November guest designer...with a "Thanks" card for this week's challenge.

And that is the verse I used on the  front of my card, a SweetStamps stamp called "Staggered Give Thanks" and the two dies I used are also theirs. They are "Elegant Leaves" and "Classy Deer". 

I am using this as a Thanksgiving card which I plan to mail to my family in Wisconsin. I have not finished the inside yet so we shall see if I get this mailed on time. Sad to say, I am notorious for getting cards in the mail one day late...very consistently. LOL

This was a fun card to make. I made a stencil of heavy card stock and inked the bottom layer of the leafy wreath with an orangish ink, then die cut 3 more colors of the leaves to arrange in the wreath shape. (For delicate die cuts like this I use spray adhesive.) Some of the leaves have glitter added in gold and crystal.

The deer is one of my newest (and "deerest") dies and I've used it with glitter card stock. The very first time I visited the SweetStamps online store I knew I wanted that die. I'm looking forward to making some elegant Christmas cards with it.

I hope you are enjoying the beautiful samples made by the SweetStamps design team. Scroll down to see them if you haven't already. And once you are inspired, we'd love to have you join the challenge with YOUR creation. Each week there is a generous prize given to one randomly chosen winner of a $20 shopping spree for SweetStamps merchadise at their online store.

Thank you, crafty friends, for stopping by today.
