Ornamental Pine Christmas Cards

Time to start thinking about making your Christmas cards !  Ornamental Pine in greens and browns are a natural combination sure to stimulate your senses.


If Blue is your favourite winter colour this card is sure to please.! It reminds me of a perfectly clear blue sky and a thick layer of frost that completely covers the entire tree and sparkles when the sun comes out.

The Open Sea, World Map and Inspired by Nature

For Him!

Father's Day is around the corner and it's time to make some cards with guys in mind!
I used World Map and The Open Sea to create this card.





I wanted something different so I came up with a "portfolio" style of card. Of course these stamps look great with blues and browns. Prepare to get your fingers inked!



The second card is not as busy, more tranquil! It is great for any occasion.
Inspired by Nature is a favorite of mine. All you need is blues, teals and a handful of cotton balls.

It's Spring! Finally!
We are going to do some cards that remind us of spring and summer.

SAMPLE #1
It's hard to tell that the cover of this card consists of images stamped on acetate. Stamp club members will choose from one two samples.

SAMPLE #2

The second card reminds me of the time that we went to the ocean on the west coast of Florida for the first
time. We watched a group of sandpipers running on the beach as the waves washed food on shore.
This is my impression of that memory.

March Cards:

Simply stamping with black ink and colouring the images using the "masking Technique" creates a stunning card.



I used Secret Garden and Creative elements. To give this card a little bit of bling you can add a rhinestone to the centre  of the large flowers.


I LOVE VELLUM!


BE CAREFUL stamping and embossing on vellum. You can also stamp on vellum with Stazon ink .
This card is a great way to use up scrap designer paper. Who doesn't love to shop?

People Like You

The soft hues of Pear Pizzazz  contrasted with a vibrant splash of Island Indigo highlights this stamp.




I used People Like You, Very Vintage and Everything Elenor to create this card. Add a couple of rhinestones just to give it a little bling! There you have it!

Peaceful Petals

A subtle clutter of stamps make the perfect background to showcase this stamp set!


I used En francais, Peaceful Petals, Fabulous Florets and French Foliage .
Tempting Turquoise makes everything pop.

Cards for Men!

We are back! These are the cards I created for January Stamp Club. I thought I would focus on cards for men. This is the card we will be making at Stamp Club. I used Clockworks and Sense of Time to create this card.


 


This is the same template but I used the "World Map" and "Word Play" stamps to create this card and changed the cardstock from black to Elegant Eggplant.

















This next card is quick and easy!


 
I used Off the Grid, Bring on the Cake and French Foliage to create this card. I like Coastal Cabana.It is such a contrasting colour to what we are experiencing here. I wish I was someplace warm!
