Wow, 6 cards (2 each of 3 designs) so far this week for me, and here it is Christmas week! I honestly didn't think I'd be making cards so close to the holiday, but I'm almost ready with all my holiday 'stuff' so I have a little extra time. And it's a good thing, too: stamping is therapy for me - I know it is for a lot of you out there, too - and I'm STRESSED!
I wanted to play at the Play Date Cafe and Waltzingmouse this week, so here is my inspiration:
And also at Splitcoast, the Free For All #43 is to make a birthday card, so that's what this one is.
See my pop of yellow on the 'button'? I made that with a stamp from Simple Delights (SU), using Summer Sun and Basic Black inks and two circle punches, 3/4" and 1".
Some white rick-rack trims up the envelope design (it is for show only; it opens like a regular A2 card).
I'd better go wrap some more gifts now. I have to work tonight until 11:00, and believe it or not, also on Christmas Eve until 8 pm. So I need to get my stuff done!
Thanks for joining me today, twice. And I hope you pop back tomorrow for my BIG NEWS!
Happy Stamping,
Colleen
