Christmas Cards

Hello again....so soon.

I'm baaaack!

And first I want to share what I believe is my favorite card that I've made this year.

Or at least, one of my favorites.  {smile}

I was inspired by this card....

(From this blog that I follow.)

When I first saw it, I thought it was cute.  I liked the way the snowman was looking up.

I'd seen this before (where-?) and decided I wanted to try it, too.

So I grabbed some scrap white paper and started cutting circles.

Next, I cut the hat (freehand) and punched circles for eyes.

Etc., etc., until I had a snowman!  

I had already stamped the background and had it just lying around.

I put it all together, stamped a sentiment, and

Voila!

I like him sooo much, I might just have to keep him, as decoration!

Next is one I created with a couple of new stamps from Hero Arts.

The reindeer actually comes from a set that also comes with dies that cut the stamped image.

(Another Christmas gift to myself using my *special* money.  hehehe)

Okay, so the first two were cute-sy, so next is a couple of simple, kind of elegant cards.

The tree was actually just practice for another card, and I thought, why waste it.

I applied some light green glitter glue to the same stamp,

and stamped over the original tree, and let dry.

I think it turned out really cute.

And another new stamp, in silver ink, with some glitter glue as *snow*.

I love the way this is so simple, yet pretty.

All of these stamps were Hero Arts stamps, which I have discovered that I love, love, love.

They are so easy to use.

And the cards were inspired by looking at, uh, drooling over their blog.

Thanks for looking.

Hope you have a great weekened.
