Santa Squared

Hi, guys! I have tons of holiday and Christmas stamps, and Santa images are among my favorites.  I thought I would share a pair of Santa cards I made for the season.

The first one up features a Santa by Stampers Anonymous (Tim Holtz). Love the old-timey look and the full face.  I paired this card up with a funny sentiment by Ranger (Dylusions).

The second card features another fun Santa by Rubber Stampede. His eyes have the twinkle I love for a good Santa image.

Hope you are enjoying the days leading up to the big day!  I am still wrapping and shopping, believe it or not.  Hoping to finish up everything tomorrow so I can sit back and enjoy some holiday fun with my family.

Until next time!

Girlfriends and Cosmos

Hi, guys! I am sharing the last of my Christmas cards with you today.  I made these for two of my girlfriends.  The first one was made using the fun Christmas words by Dyan Reaveley.  Plenty of Distress Inks and a fun sexy stylish woman image by Hero Arts were used on this one.

Supplies:
Stamps: Hero Arts, Dylusions by Dyan Reaveley, Stampers Anonymous
Inks: Distress Inks, Red & Black Archival
Paper: Gina K Designs

One of my good friends loves to sip Cosmos when we go out and makes a wicked one herself,  so I made this card especially for her (she knows who she is!).

Supplies:
Stamps: Dylusions by Dyan Reaveley, Vap Scrap, L. Jackson
Ink: Red and Black Archival
Paper: Gina K Designs

You can tell I had fun using the Dylusions Christmas Words set this holiday season.  I found them hysterical.

Now that the holidays are behind us, I will begin working on some birthday cards and valentines soon! Valentines are some of my favorite cards to make.  I can't wait to begin them.

Have a great weekend!

Dear Santa ...

Hi, guys! This weekend I had a lot of fun with a stamp set by Ranger and Dylusions (Dyan Reaveley).  She has designed a set of Christmas words that are very funny and at times a bit cheeky.  I made two cards using her set that I will share now with you.  I love that the words are done in a collage format.

For the first one, I embossed a cute image of santa with two children on his lap and included her fun sentiment.  White ink was used along the edges of the card to soften it a bit.

Supplies:
Stamps: Stampin' Up, Ranger Dylusions
Paper: Desert Storm Cardstock, White Gina K Designs
Ink: Versafine Black, White Stampin' Up
Misc.: Clear Embossing Powder, Ribbon

Since a lot of my friends are already grumbling about holiday treats and eating, I decided to make the next card.

Supplies:
Stamps: Stampin' Up, Ranger Dylusions
Paper: Desert Storm Cardstock, White Gina K Designs
Ink: Versafine Black
Misc.: Clear Embossing Powder, Copic Markers, Ribbon, Cord, Cookie Cutter Button, White Gel Pen

These were a hoot to make.  I am trying to figure how I will use some of the other sayings in a card. I can't wait to find time to use them again soon!

Hope you have a day filled with lots of laughter!

Until next time!
