Happy Tuesday, Welcome!

It’s only 2 days until Thanksgiving are you one of those that can hardly wait for the spread laid out on the table or just a nibbler?  Are you joining the crazy crowds on Black Friday?  I did once, but I think you get wiser with age and it’s no fun to stay all night in a store to get what you want.  Many years ago, my daughter-in-love and I used to go shopping (we had to be nuts to stay up all night and pull a stunt like we did) and we would get the items that were limited, on sale for a good price, and only for a certain amount of time and everyone was fighting to get.

After we walked around and did the shopping we there to do we would check out and tell the salesperson, “Oh I decided I don’t want this.” By this time the sale was over.  We were mean, would you say? Or we would find a Mom that looked so tired and needed much help financially and ask her if she was looking for this toy.  There was always a smile when she got what she was really there for, the toy that was special that year that her child just had to have. Thinking about it now we should have gone to the register with her and paid.  Anyone remember the Furbies, I think that’s how you spell it, that was one year. 

Well on to the card.

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Christmastime Is Here Designer Series Paper, Toile Christmas Stamp Bundle, this includes the stamps and the Christmas Cardinal Dies.  You may be seeing Cardinal cards the next few days as I have made several with different layouts.

The challenges I am playing today are Crafty Catz Blog Challenge — Crafty Catz #484 Anything goes/spots and/or stripes.

And…Sweet Stampin’ add a pop of red.

Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler card stock is the card base, then a background panel on top from one of the Stampin’ Up! Copper Dot Treat Bags that has been cut to the proper size.  The greeting from Stampin’ Up!  Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set is stamped in Versa Mark ink and then Stampin’ Up! Gold Embossing Powder is sprinkled over it and heat embossed to set the greeting. The label the greeting is on is one of the cropped pieces when the Cardinal was cropped.  I thought it made a very nice label.

Before adhering any of the pieces, I arranged the pieces on the background to see how they would look (Mary Deatherage taught us this trick).  After being satisfied with the way they looked  I took a picture so I could remember exactly the placement as I glued using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, or popped with Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The Cardinal from the Stampin’ Up! Toile Christmas Stamp Bundle is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Real Red ink on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock and then colored using  Stampin’ Up! Light Real Red and Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Markers.

The berry branches from the Stampin’ Up! Toile Christmas Stamp Set are stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black in on the envelope flap, then colored using the Stampin’ Blends in Light Cherry Cobbler and Light Old Olive.

Thank you for stopping by today.   I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.  My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself.

HAVE A HAPPY AND BLESSED THANKSGIVING!
