Double Technique-Dryer Sheet & Triple Stamp

Tonight I was trying to figure out what to make and decided to put 2 of my favorite techniques together on one card, The Dryer Sheet technique & the Triple Stamp technique.

Here are the items I used, also used SU Flurry wishes and SU Basic Black Ink. I used those after taking the pictures. The wood stamps are from Hobby Lobby.



Here is the picture after I Triple Stamped.

The finished card- I hope you can see the glitter on the dryer sheet, its quite pretty.


This card is entered into the Christmas Card Challenge #35

Wildlife Window Scene Christmas Card



Christmas card for today!

I love Christmas... seems everyone is in a better mood, including me :) so why not make Christmas cards in July, to brighten my day.... and hopefully yours.

I have been ordering several items from Stampin' Up! ... just ask my Demonstrator...lol... but its my hobby so I am entitled to it, right?  :)  I mostly make Christmas cards and Birthday Cards.... both make others (and me!) happy.

Today I focused on Masculine Christmas Cards, or what I consider a Masculine card. Ribbons and bows were left in my hobby stash and a wildlife scene was used on a wood-looking embossed background.
Hope you like it too!

White On White Poinsettia Christmas Card




White On White Poinsettia Christmas Card

Lately, I have been fascinated with the Folded Card Techniques. S-Fold, Z-Fold, Drapery Fold so I tend to make several cards with these techniques while learning. Since I am starting to make my Christmas Cards, they will be mostly with these techniques with a few 'Shaker' cards thrown in for good measure.

I do like White on White Christmas cards so decided to create this one, a Gatefold card.The pictures don'7 do it justice, the card is quite sparkly.

In the Pink Birthday Card

A simple design but very cute. As with many of my cards, if you change the sentiment it can be used for different occasions.


Sweet Shoppe Card

I love this sweet shoppe card! so many uses for it. Change the sentiment and it can be used for Valentines Day, Birthday, Thinking of You, Just a Note.... so many uses, so little time....  :)
