Loving Thank you

I had SO much fun making this thank you card for my sister...thanking her for special gifts and special times in our recent visit.  I used SU designer paper and "Love Notes" dies on a white base with real red accents. The beautiful thank you stamp is a  Gina K,designs stamp from "Fram and Flowers2" collection.  Inside each little envelope is a small picture of one of her gifts.  Sequins, red and white baker's twine and punched foil contact paper finish the card.

Big Eyed Sophia

Another Sophia --just love her big eyes!   This is pencil colored for the Miran  # 73  Anything Goes   Lots of detail with snow and snow writer, and with grey pearls that didn't photograph well.  She's just so sweet, and the recipient of this card will love her.  The stamp is Warm wishes and mistletoe kisses from SU Tin of tags.  Distressed edges are touched wit Aileens Glitter Snow.

Snowflake and More Snowflakes

This just magnificent card is created with SU Winter Wonderland designer vellum, Tim  Holtz Thinlits Snowflakes (660059) Gold foil cardstock, a star punch, and sheer gold ribbon.  Merry Christmas is gold embossed and is from the Jusst Right Elegant Christmas Swirls stampset. This card is surprisingly easy to create.  Thank you to Sandi McIver for her superb tutorial found here. Her dimensions are modified a little, but the idea is hers.

Today I was in kind of a "flaky" mood as I did several snowflake cards.

Left features stamps from Tin of Tags (SU) stamped in Cherry  Cobbler and embossed with a Christmas Words Sizzix embossing folder from Hero Arts "Christmas Words" 658285.  The card on the right is similar, but the background on light gray paper is stamped (off) Merry Medley background stamp (SU) with Smoky Slate, and then stamped with all over design that used snowflakes from Hot off the Press Snowflakes and Dies set Inkadinkado Christmas and one other set named Noel, unknown company.  Both cards are touched with Viva Pearl Pen Silver Chrome for accent.
