Angel on High

I decided to use an interesting sketch from MoJo Monday for this card.  My interpretation is just a smidge different than the sketch!
I stamped and heat embossed the image which is from Inkadinkadoo.  The sentiment is a digital image from TLC.  I had to pop the main part of the card up as the twine I used under it was quite thick.  Some cardstock and DP and it was finished.


This is the sketch I used:

Decorating for Christmas

Well Christmas is getting closer and closer and I am still making cards - good thing most of them will be hand delivered.

For this card I have used a Christmas tree ornament stamp from Inkadinkadoo which I heat embossed.  I also heat embossed the sentiment stamp from Stamping up.  Used a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder for the background and a silver die cut from K&Company.


And a close up of the ornaments!


I based my card on a really neat sketch from Feeling Sketchy

Fun Creating a Snowman

I have used a sketch from Mojo Monday

I chose the square card and pretty well stayed with the sketch - not much deviation.  


The stamp is from Lilli of the Valley and the DP is from K&Company.  I used a plain silver cardstock as a frame for each section. The silver braid was rather thick, so I used pop-dots behand the center section of the card to fit over it.  I used some clear glitter glue on the fur on the hats & boots, but it does not show in this photo, so I took a close up hopefully it shows here.


I like to use a sketch for a change it makes it easier to decide right away what you are going to do for the front of your card! 
We do have a little snow on the ground, but not enough to stop you from getting around.  This weather and the date on the calendar do make me think my Christmas Cards should be done soon!  I received my first card in the mail yesterday, but I never send them out that early.
