Sweet & Simple Snowman Card

Hello & Happy Monday!

It's a snow day here!

My hubby was up very early this morning to head to work before the weather got bad.

Most of the plant has off today except for him & his mechanics because they are doing a big project and the power will be off awhile. I just hope he makes it home alright later this evening.

I am feeling a bit better everyday!

Who knew an infection like this could knock you down so fast!

I slept so much the last few days and haven't done much of anything.

Today is my cleaning day so we will see how much I get done.

I've got a cute Christmas card to share today that the stamp girls made last week.

This one was everyone's favorite!

This is the stamp set we used....definitely an oldie but a goodie!

I got it off Ebay several years ago and I think it's the first time I inked it up!

I actually made this card designed around that pretty Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon!

It's gorgeous and ties a nice bow!

Everything on this card is retired except the ribbon and cardstock.

I love using the older stuff and giving it new life again!

Card Details:

Stamps: Sweet & Simple Salutations (retired)

Ink: Memento Black, Seaside Spray & Pumpkin Pie Stampin Blends

Cardstock: Seaside Spray, Whisper White

Accessories: Winter Wonder EF (retired), Circle Layering Framelits, Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon, Glue Dots, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Stamperatus, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I did not take a picture of the inside but we used a saying from the A Wish For Everything stamp set and used the Stamparatus for perfect placement!

The girls are really getting the hang of using it!

Mixed Metals Foil Card

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Hope your week is moving along smoothly!

I got so much accomplished yesterday! 

All my Christmas cards have been addressed and mailed, the gifts are wrapped and my cookies are mixed up and in the fridge ready to be baked.

Today I am heading to my stamp table to make up a couple gift cards and also my dear hubby requested a few cards for his boss & other management people at work.

This is the card he requested.

Actually this card was designed for my last get together with my friends. I wanted something easy but also to show off the pretty foil papers that Stampin Up carries. I cased the idea from BJ Peters with a few changes....

I have not used the Winter Wonder Embossing Folder hardly at all this season and that makes me sad because it is quite pretty but those foil papers just make it shine beautifully!

Snowflake Embossed Foil Card:

Stamps: Holly Berry Happiness (Sentiment)

Ink: Soft Suede

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Champagne Foil, Gold Foil, Copper Foil, Silver Foil

Accessories: Winter Wonder EF, Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

So today I have a few of these cards to create but Shawn wanted a different saying on them.

It will be a fun day of creating!

I hope you all are getting your Christmas preparations underway!

I have cookies to bake tomorrow and 2 more gifts to wrap as soon as they are delivered. 

My hubby has a long weekend coming up so we have planned an evening out. Going to a nice place for supper then off to see some holiday lights! I'm looking forward to it!

My thoughts today....

Shawn took this picture at the Steam Into History train the other weekend when we had snow.

It was awesome to see and what a great shot!

That's all for now!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!
