More Christmas Cards

I hope you enjoyed the sneak peak yesterday and have added your own creation to the Diva's homepage. Now we're back to Christmas cards. But don't worry, tomorrow there will be more sneak peaks. Today's card, uses a older Christmas set, Seasons of Joy. The colors are Real Red, Pretty in Pink, and Whisper White.

Again, thanks for stopping by and don't forget it's Sketch Frenzy Friday tomorrow.

Diva Coffee Break Color Challenge

This week is a color challenge for the Diva Coffee Break Challenge. These colors come from the Color Coach. And here they are.

And here is my creation. I'm so busy working on Christmas cards for the boutiques, so I'm trying to incorporate them into every creation and I even managed to with these colors. This is a CASE from Patti that can be seen here. I used Season of Joy.

Thanks for stopping by.

Last of the Holiday Cards

Well, today is the day and by the time you're reading this Laurie and I are probably knee deep in cut cardstock and hopefully completed cards. Here are the last of the cards that we created that I have pictures of. There is one more, but it's made from non SU! cardstock that was donated to Stampin' From Our Hearts.

This one is a card that Laurie designed that again used retired DSP and in-colors. The stamp sets used were Snow Swirled and Many Merry Messages (again, I think).


The last one that I have to show with you also uses Snow Swirled and the retired Kiwi Kiss cardstock and satin ribbon. The greeting is from Season of Joy.


Stay tuned next week for the final number of cards made and pictures from the event!

More Holiday Cards

Here are a couple more cards that Laurie and I designed for the Stampin' From Our Hearts even tomorrow.


The first one uses Punch Pals and retired DSP (Laurie actually designed it). Along with Close to Cocoa, Kiwi Kiss, and Baja Breeze cardstock. The Merry Christmas is from Many Merry Messages (I believe). We will be making about 100 of these cards.


The next one uses three current sets Seeing Stars, the Star jumbo wheel and Season of Joy (for the greeting). The paper is Riding Hood Red (retired) and the Riding Hood ribbon is also used. We will be making 200 of these cards.

Stay tuned tomorrow for a couple of more cards that we designed for Stampin' From Our Hearts.

More Holiday Card Shares

Here are two more cards that I designed for the Stampin' From Our Hearts event on Sunday. These both use current colors and stamp sets.

The first one uses the Season of Joy stamp set with Glossy White, Brocade Blue and Night of Navy cardstock. We will be making 200 of these cards.



The next one uses Christmas Punch (new hostess set) and Bermuda Bay, Night of Navy, and Whisper White cardstock. We will also be making 200 of these cards.


Stampin' from Our Hearts is also looking for donations to help cover the cost of packaging and shipping. Please visit their website (button on my left sidebar) for more information and to make a donation.

More Samples as Promised

First of all, I would like to say thank you to all those that stop by on a regular basis and I will try harder to keep my post more up to date. I guess I didn't realize that I actually had followers! Thanks to all of you!!

Here are a couple more cards that I made for some SCS swaps. Lately, I've been signing up for all the swaps I think I can do, it's been fun and really getting me to stamp on a more regular basis.



The materials used here were Whisper White, Certainly Celery, and Regal Rose cardstock, Print Patterns II (hostess set), Manhattan Flower Texture plate, Fifth Ave Floral stamp set, Organza ribbon and punches.


This one was for a dormant list spot and I used Seasons of Joy stamp set to make a non-Christmas card. I did a Stamps in the Mail club with this set and this is a CASE of one of the cards that I created for that. Maybe I will get around to posting the other projects from that. The other supplies were Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Cameo Coral, Rose Red and Basic Black cardstock, Rose Red and Old Olive ink, brads, and punches.

Finally, here is a small project that I made using a template from SplitCoast and the Circle Sissors Plus. I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for yet, but I included a picture when it's closed and another of it opened.



I'm off now to have lunch with my sister and then spend the rest of the day stamping and scrapbooking. I will be spending most of the time working on the Thank You notes that are posted here (I have 350 to make in about 20 days now), but do hope to get some stamping done too, because I have a few more swaps to fulfill yet. I will try to post more tomorrow.
