A Vellum Poinsettia

Hi,

More of the same.  Same but different.  Same story, different details.  I know you get it, I have a new card, but it's with that same poinsettia stamp that I just can't put down!  This is one of my favorites!  Hope you like it.

Cheers,

Val

Third Christmas Poinsettia

Hi,
Recently I purchased several new Christmas stamps, from several companies.  Some  have still not touched any ink,  as when I do have stamping time, I seem to gravitate toward this poinsettia stamp by Penny Black.  It has so much personality and turns into something new each time I stamp with a new color of ink or paper.  Now that's good value.  It was this card that inspired me to make the following:

Materials:

Paper: PTI C/S Kraft, SU C/S Real Red

Stamps: Penny Black Christmas Star,Hero Arts Antique Brocade

Ink: Color Box Frost White, Versa Mark

Other: Stampendous White EP, ScorTape, Glitter Ritz

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday # 41

Hi,

I am really glad Jennifer posted this challenge as I had never used a glue pad, but with the holidays approaching, I can foresee much glue pad and glitter!  Actually, the most difficult part of the challenge for me was getting a decent photo.  Here is a closeup so you can see just how pretty those glittered images are:

Hope you enjoy the card,

Papertrey Ink MIM #40

Hi,
Made a card for the reverse applique challenge at Papertrey Ink.  After quite a bit of trial and a lot of error, I discovered that it is very difficult (for me at least) to sew neatly around small cut out shapes, such as hearts. So, I decided on a much larger simpler shape and managed to create something that will not instantly jump into the recycle bin!
Have a good one,

Val
