November neglected supplies challenge - Christmas stamps

[katymjo]

What a lovely card, Keitha. I like the way you have positioned the flowers and leaves so that they spill out onto the green border.

Great job on that card Keitha!!

I've got to take some pics of the Christmas cards I've been making.... getting a chance to pull out lots of stamps to make cards for the Ocracoke folks.

Here is mine. I made several today. The deer and the inside sentiment were stamps that had never been used. Thanks Debi for the challenge and thanks to Monica for the embossing powders!

Beautiful cards Keitha and Pam. Need to get busy with this challenge.

Beautiful card Keitha!

Keitha this is a gorgeous card. Nothing simple about it with all those elements.

Pam super card. I like the wood grain background.

[pamcook]

Thanks! The snowflakes are so sparkly. I mixed white EP with SU Dazzling Diamonds. The EP for the deer is pearlized. The Stickles is “Candy Cane” and sparkly. I outlined the sentiment strip with a glitter pen. All.the.sparkle.

Pam, your reindeer card is beautiful, I bet he really sparkles!

[Keitha]

For these cards I just used the outline stamp from a layering set, and a sentiment. The flowers were heat embossed in gold and then watercoloured with mermaid markers. I used the same outline stamp and some white EP to give my background some subtle texture. Can I whinge for a minute about the envelope punch board? There are measurements printed for 66 sizes of envelopes - 66! - but not to fit a 4.25x5.5 card, which IMO is the most standard. If you want to know, cut your paper to 8" square and make the first score at 3.5". My other beef is with the scoring tool, which is the same one WRMK give you with all their boards. It's rubbish I tell you; I'm throwing mine all away. They rip your paper as often as crease it; I have way better success with a ball tool. Other than that, the envelope punch board works great.

Those are great! Thanks for digging in and bringing out your un-used stamps.

I've still got to take some photos of some of the cards I've been making! I keep forgetting and then I count them and put them into the baggies and they're safely stored and I haven't taken a photo. But I've got to get them all out and sort them into individual bags for families... so I'll get some photos. AND I want to get some photos of ALL of them!! Such an amazing variety and quantity of cards!

I went with the "minimalist" look on these two 4" cards. Just some Stickles in the centre of the poinsettia and on the front doors.

[Keitha]

These are very nice Kathryn, I like your minimalist approach. They'll stand out in a crowd of heavily coloured, textured, sparkly cards.

Sorry I never posted any photos. And I sure used stamps this month!! All the cards are bagged and ready to go to Ocracoke!! Now I need to make my own cards! Maybe I'll use some more stamps!

Lovely cards ladies!

Still time to play.
