Endless Wishes Christmas

This card design came from a card swap designed by Julie Davison.  But I didn't have the same stamp set she did so I had to be creative.   I pulled out my new Endless Wishes stamps and used Merry Christmas from Sassy Salutations.  Julie's snowflakes were bigger so I decided to switch up the colors to make my smaller snowflakes seem bolder.  She tied an All Is Calm Snowflake Embellishment to her card which was beautiful, but because I used a different size greeting there really wasn't room.  I added some Rhinestones to bling it up a little bit.

Springy Thank You

 

 

 

Over at Paper Players, they are hosting a challenge that is right up my alley -- a spring thank you.  The rules are simple, and all we have to do is pull out spring colors and images.  So I dug out this stamp set that hasn't seen much action since last summer and stamped in Strawberry Slush.  I experimented with different ways to frame this image and settled on the ruffed stretch trim ribbon.  I just put Snail adhesive out to the edges of the oval and worked my way around, sticking the ribbon as I went.  The background needed to be simple so it wouldn't take away from the ruffle, and I settled on the Fancy Fan embossing folder for some background texture.  I recently learned that Sassy Salutations is a favorite stamp set of some of my stampers, and I have to say I love how it fills in the space on this card. A few little pearls added just the right amount of bling~

Black and White Thinking of You CASE

 

For my August Stamp-a-Stack, I planned to do 3 of my favorite swaps.  This card was one the first one I decided on, and to my delight, when I turned it over it was made by my friend, Faye Colwell!  My stampers loved the black and white color scheme.
