Quick Birthday Card

Happy Sunday!  It's cold but clear here.  Hope your weather is good too.  I'm hopeful that today goes as planned.  With two busy kids you never know.  My plan is to play with all the great products I got from the upcoming Occasions Mini and Sale-a-Bration (SAB) catalogs.  Then, starting next week I can show you samples too!  You'll have to check back tomorrow to see how successful I was.

Here is today's quick and easy card.  You can easily change the colors to fit the  person you are giving this to:

Another Clean and Simple Christmas

Happy Saturday!  I hope you got to sleep in if this is your day for that - I'm waiting for tomorrow.  Today is cheer practice for my daughter and so I sit here at Star Bucks and create on my computer, catch up on email and make my to do list for the weekend. Thankfully, yesterday I got some Christmas shopping done so the list is considerably shorter.  

Well, on to today's sample:

The big thing to notice is that the card itself is just a folded white card.  I didn't even make an extra white layer on this one - go for simple if you're still stamping for the holidays.  Your loved ones (kid's teachers, coworkers and others you give to) will be so happy you took the time to make something!  Just do it!

Polka Dot Embossing Folder Fun

Hey!  It's Friday - how did that happen?  The weeks seem to just be flying by!  I made an executive decision to NOT stamp my family Christmas cards this year.  I created them using MDS (My Digital Studio) and they are being printed by Stampin' Up! for me. What a relief!  I will get a box next week and all I have to do is fold and stuff them!  I was also able to make matching stationery in MDS for the letter we put in the cards.  As an extra bonus I made some coordinating Thank You cards that the kids and I can send - wow!  I love MDS!  I will be sure to show you everything next week so be sure to check in.

For today, I have another Christmas Card that we made at the last Stamp a Stack (Trumbull, CT 06611).  This one I would call quick and easy.  I love how the cards look when you use the Scallop Square Clear die to make them.  Let me know what you think!

Clean and Simple Christmas Card

As I told you yesterday - I've really gotten into the clean and simple look.  People love to receive them and they are super easy to do.  I think our lives have gotten so busy that just looking at something simple has a calming effect.

This is another card we made at the last Stamp a Stack.  You might notice that the center of the flower has a different color - that was done with the marker after we stamped it in the Cherry ink.  When there is such a small surface to marker and the colors are both very dark it fine to do this technique without cleaning your stamp.  Again, simple.

Quick Christmas Cards

With Thanksgiving tomorrow I thought I'd show you some really cute and quick Christmas cards you can still consider making this year. Don't forget to take advantage of all the great specials available. You can see them in HERE.

If you need help ordering or would like to stop by my house for help with cutting just get in touch. I'm happy to help you in any way I can.

For this sample I used many of the stamps from the Tags til Christmas stamp set. I also used the fun new Square Duo die for the Big Shot. Don't forget that the first people to purchase the Big Shot on Friday get a great gift from me FREE SHOPPING DOLLARS in December! See the details HERE.

This sample uses the Tags Til Christmas Set and the square die again. I love the Candy Cane Christmas Designer Series Paper. I'm sure you can tell since I designed an entire scrapbook around it. If you want to make one there is still time to register. Just click HERE.

Have a great day!
