One Idea Two Projects

Last night I made two different projects with one general design idea. I like the idea of taking one idea and using it in multiple ways. The first one is this Christmas card.
Recipe
Stamps: Simply Christmas (R-2721)
Paper: Amelia Cardstock (B-317), Amelia Paterned Cardstock (V-838), Aspen Cardstock (V-228)
Ink: Palette Burnt Umber (TT-218), Palette Bordeaux (TT-198), Palette Jardin Moss (TT-215)
Embellishments: Amelia Hardware (B-117), Amelia Ribbon (B-217)
Tools: Crop-a-dile (K-100)

The second project is this little Christmas wall/door hanger. It uses the same basic supplies and design idea but is for home decor instead of a card.

Holiday Weekend Stamping!

I got to spend the day stamping at my sisters house on Saturday! It is something that we haven't done in a very long time and it was great. I'm already checking my calendar to see when we can spend the weekend stamping again! Here is one of the cards that I made. I recently got the Salsa Flowers set and I am loving these flowers. They look really good watercolored. I just used my blending pen with my brush markers to color this one.

Christmas, A Little Different

I am loving this color combination for Christmas! I signed up for a card swap where the theme is non-tradidtional colors for Christmas so I started playing around to see what I might make for it. I think this is it! The stamps are from the Holiday Magic set which I can already tell will be one of my favorites for the holidays this year; the stamps are gorgeous. The papers are a combination of the green and coral from the Brights Stack and the brown is from the Neutrals Stack. I stamped the tree with Hint of Pesto, and tied a bit of Brown Scrappers Floss around the front. Definitely not traditional Christmas colors, but it looks great!

Stacked Cupcakes

I love these cupcakes! It is actually a single cupcake from the For All Seasons stamp set that I masked to make a stack of them. I used some white Liquid Applique for the frosting, so it is fluffy. The paterned paper is from the A Little Whimsy pad. The papers in this pad are very cool. The paterns are fun and the colors are bright and cheery; a lot of fun to work with!

COTM Swap

I got into a COTM swap on a Yahoo group that I am in, and this is the card that I made to send to my partner...

I love the little chick! It is from the Little Friends stamp set. Instead of coloring the chick, I stamped it on yellow paper cut it out and pieced it on top. It looks really cool because it adds a little bit of texture and relief to it as well.
