More Christmas Cards

It’s so great to get a handmade card – thank you ladies!!!  Both cards came from girls on my wonderful stamping team.  The first one is from Tracy (sorry for the condition of it now – the kiddos got a hold of this one!  Which makes me smile because as all the cards were coming in this year my 2nd daughter knows which ones are hand stamped ones and always begs to open those and passes off the ‘regular’ cards to her brother and sister.  Love it!)  I love the layering on it.  I sometimes forget that not all my layers need to have an equal border – this contrast is just perfect here.

The second card comes from Julie T.  A long time stamper with me turned demonstrator not too long ago.  Unfortunately my picture doesn’t do it justice as it really is a stunning card.  That Delightful Decorations stamp and coordinating ornament punch are awesome.  Hopefully those items make it into the upcoming catalog starting in July this year!!!  They’re just too good to only have one season to play with them!  And would you look at that perfect silver bow?!?!?!

Polka Dot Ornament Card

I love polka dots.  I love black and white.  I love starting with a card sketch.  I love Gymboree. 

Did you read that last one twice?  LOL  Yes, I love Gymboree, the kids clothing store.  Let me explain why that pertains to this post: the colors and the patterns!  There’s this great Panda Bear line right now at Gymboree and slowly I’ve been adding pieces of this line to my daughter’s closet (even got some more today!).  So this great clothing line was the inspiration for my card.  Here’s the Mojo Monday sketch, the Gymboree line, and my card!  Enjoy.  (Click on the card for an added bonus.)

Next Week’s Christmas Cards…

Here is what we will be creating in my Christmas Cards class next week.  Each participant will be making 3 each of the 4 cards.  Looking forward to it!  We have room for a few more stampers!  E-mail me if you’re interested.
