I like this simple card. I don't know if you can see, but I used the dazzling details on the holly berries. Also, because these little guys are so small, they often pop off the acrylic block. I put a little removable adhesive on the stamp before I put it on the block. Doesn't fall off anymore.
Supplies:
Stamp Set: Jolly Bingo Bits, More Merry Messages
Paper: Espresso, white
Ink: Espresso, gumball green, cherry cobbler, daffodil delight
Accessories: cherry cobbler scallop ribbon

Christmas Card Club #1
Ok, I got a little chastised this week by one of the sweetest people! She said, "You're not posting everyday! I need it!" She's right and here I am at 5am Sunday morning getting the week ready :) Love you Sandra!
We had our first Christmas Card Club yesterday and I had a blast. As usual, I made the cards too involved and they took a while. I promise next month will be a lot easier :) I just have a hard time making cute cards that are quick, but still impressive...personal problem :)
Here is my favorite. I can't believe I have been a demo for 8.5 years and I am just now getting Lovely As A Tree! I am in Love!! This is a masking technique just like the tree one I did last Tuesday. I just used post it notes to mask at 1" and 3.25". Then I sponged with the new Midnight Muse. Do you have it yet? Gorgeous!!! Then I used versamark to stamp my image and then embossed with white powder. Then stamped the greeting at the bottom. Easy Peasy!
Supplies:
Stamp Set: Lovely As A Tree, More Merry Messages
Ink: Midnight Muse, Versamark
Tools: Heat Tool, sponge, Powder Pal (retired...no idea why!)
Accessories: white embossing power, post it notes
PS...Be looking for more information about the Huntsville Holiday Blast this week!
