Christmas Postcard

Hello.

 This Christmas card theme was inspired by
this week's Jingle Belles challenge called "Going Postal".

I teamed up my "Tis the Season" set by Deasy Designs

 with  Lawn Fawn's "You've Got Mail" and "On the Mend".

The patterned papers are MME's "Merry". 

The cute net ribbon is from Ribbon Carousel.  

I made the star the elf is holding with washi tape and a punch.
He was colored with Prismacolor pencils and cut out.

I am also entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp: Put a Stamp On it Challenge!

I may have to make some more of these!

Thanks for looking,

Kelly

thank you card featuring Lawn Fawn

HI there!

Sharing a "thank You" card I made for someone.

CAS look.  

Used Lawn Fawn's "On the Mend" flower vase and a 

Lawn Fawn "thank you" that was a freebie in one of my orders.

I scored the top and then embossed the "thank you" in white.

I used 3 different colored pink pencils on the flower and added a bit of Stickles.

I put  a touch of Glossy Accents on the vase.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

RIC10, CCC189 and SSS: Gettin' Inky

Hi.  

I made another card originally inspired by the current Runway Inspired Challenge.

I decided to play with my distress inks to create the background.  

I started with a piece of white paper, added a layer of Antique Linen, followed by Spiced Marmalade, and a splash of Pumice.  

After that, I kept adding the orange until I got the brightness I wanted... which was a lot of ink! 

I stamped the subtle chevron on the side with London Fog. 

  

I wanted to add a bit of cheer to the card and went with a piece of EP polka dot paper for my tissue box and some felt for texture.   

I pulled the gold from the photo to the card with the gold brads.

RIC#10: Carbon Copied with the Bald Dragonfly!

I am very excited to share a card today.  

Karen Baker has a feature on her blog where she occasionally teams up with another card maker and they use the same stamp set and make a  "carbon copy" in a challenge.

This is such a great way to see how the same stamp set can be used in different ways.
I love this feature of Karen's blog and tickled pink (or should I say orange)
 that she asked me to play along.

So, welcome to my blog if you're a first time visitor!
If you're a follower of mine and have not seen Karen's creations, then you're in for a treat! 

Karen and I decided to play along with the latest Runway Inspired Challenge AND

use Lawn Fawn's "On the Mend" stamp set. 
 I also used Lawn Fawn's Chevron Backdrops.

 Orange, gray and gold?  
Can't say that it's a dress you'd find me wearing, but it makes for a great card challenge!
I went with a gray background with bright orange accents.

I am so honored to be playing along with Karen Baker.

Please hop over to her blog, The Bald Dragonfly, to see how she 

interpreted the photo and used the same set.
I am excited to see what she has made...

SSS & CFC46: I'm here...

Sharing a Clean and Simple card today inspired by the song, 

"How Much is that Doggie in the Window?"

I stamped and colored the pup and cut him out.

This was pup #2.  

The first one was too dark for the card, so he's on reserve for another card.

The lighter dog worked better here.

I cut out the window and created the frame using the Wonky Rectangle Spellbinders die.

I used an acetate sheet for the "window". 

Karen Baker  used acetate on one of her cards and I loved it.  

She was so kind to send some to me to play with.

 This was intended as a birthday card, but as I looked at the puppy, I thought this little sentiment from Lawn Fawn's "On the Mend" set was just too prefect....

Trying to show the acetate sheet on top of the dog.... 

It looks REALLY cool in person!

Supplies:

Papers: Hobby Lobby

Stamps: Lawn Fawn

I am entering this card in the CAS-ual Friday's challenge #46: Name that Tune
