Winter Berries

Hi,
I was having trouble coming up with a card idea, when I decided to take a favorite stamp and just make something.  Sometimes I spend too much time looking on the computer for that perfect card, when I could be making a card. Some cards I will like, some I won't, but that is all part of creating.  So here is my card using the Penny Black Winter Berries stamp.

Cheers,
Val

Materials:
Paper:  PTI White, Vintage Cream

Snow Swirled Christmas Tree

Hi,
I am in the Christmas card making mode, which is a good thing as a friend and I will be selling a few cards at a local Christmas craft fair in November.  I have several wooden Christmas Tree stamps that I keep in a wooden box ,they are my very favorites.  The tree in this card is from a Stampin Up! set Snow
Swirled, which never seems to go out of style.


Have a wonderful day,
Val
