Gina K November Release Party invitation

Hi everyone!!  I am very excited to extend an invitation to Gina K. Designs November Release Party. We have a fun evening planned for you - chatting, prizes, challenges, stamp sets reveal and design team shares.  So check this out, Gina is doing things differently this time -all the stamp sets will be revealed and you can start shopping at 7pm (CST)!

If you've come from Sharon's blog, you're at the right place. If not make sure to head over to StampTV where you will find a list of all those participating in today's hop.

Here is one of the cards I will be sharing at the party.  I used the flower image from the set, Nature's Greetings.  I went pretty simple with this one, just coloring these happy flowers in with Copics.  See the pattern paper at the bottom?  It's from the Echo Park Holly Jolly Christmas pad - the colors are so bright and fun, you use them for more than just Christmas.  Cool, huh?

Stamp Simply sale and a Featured Stamper card

Hi everyone!  Just a quick post to let you all know of a 3 Day Sale going on over at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store through the end of tomorrow (Wednesday).  In lieu of a Black Friday sale, Sharon is putting some of her favorite products on sale:

And don’t forget to check out the Sale Bins.

I also have a SCS Featured Stamper card to share today.  This week's stamper is Tenia Sanders-Nelson.  I had fun looking through her gallery and chose this card to CASE. 

My card uses some of the fabulous Silver Mirror cardstock.  P.S. I love this cardstock.  It is very shiny (like a mirror) and is very sturdy (like Gina K Designs or PTIs).  Perfect to die cut and emboss!  The snowflake die is from 2011 Snowflake Pendant set.  So pretty!  Once again, I used the "negative" pieces as accents.  The paper is from KaiserCraft's Silly Season Christmas pad and I love that it has silver throughout the designs. 

The ribbon is the white tinsel edged sheer ribbon and I accented it with some silver cord.  Can I just say how happy this silvery matchy matchy stuff makes me???  Yep, pretty darn happy!

Thanks for stopping by, I'll leave you with a close up picture:

It's all about My Mind's Eye

Hi everyone!  I have to say, I am enjoying my love affair with My Mind's Eye.  When they came out with 6x6 pads last year, I was OVER the moon!  Their designs are soft, feminine,   never over the top and always have some simple stripes or dots for simple card designs.  AND perfect color palettes.  My first love of 6x6 pads was Basic Grey, remember way back when they were the only paper in 6x6?  Gosh, I loved their designs then.  Sadly, either they changed, or I have, because I haven't liked their papers in a long time.  Thank goodness MME stepped in to save the day.

But I digress... today's card uses some of the pale pink papers from the Lost and Found "Blush" pad.  This has to be my current favorite packs right now (I used it on my wedding tag below)!!  I also used my Spellbinders Edgeablities, Rectangles Nestabilities and Pennant dies on this simple card.  The stamps are Waltzingmouse Stamps (I really love their stamps and don't have nearly enough in my collection -LOL) the Say It Loud set.

This card was for the MME blog sketch challenge #27, but it turns out it is TWO months old!  They are already on Challenge #29, and here I thought I was ORGANIZED!  lol!

Here are a couple of my current favorite MME pads.  You can find them all at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store!

JustRite Christmas Linky -part 2

Hi everyone!  I  have another JustRite Stampers Christmas Linky Party card to share!  Have you checked out the Mr. Linky on the JustRite blog?  There are a lot of fabulous Christmas cards, you should check it out.

 

My card uses the brand new clear set O Christmas Tree (it's even on sale for $11.21 right now!).  I LOVE that this set is compatible with Spellbinders™ S5-028 Nested Pennants and S5-029 Nested Lacey Pennants dies!!  Those banners make perfect trees right?  For the background, I stamped one of the tiny snowflake images in pebble ink and accented each with a tiny rhinestone.

I've always thought the paper torn shaped to look like snow drifts was so clever, and I wanted to give it a try.  It didn't turn out like I thought, but I do like how I was able to use the sentiment from the pattern paper (Lost and Found Christmas from MME).   

 That's it for today!  Thanks for stopping by and I'll leave you with a close up picture.

Most supplies on this card can be found at the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

Card Deets:

Stamps - O' Christmas Tree

Ink - Fern, Pebble (AMuse)

Paper - Pure Luxury White and Cranberry Tart cardstock (Gina K Designs), Lost and Found Christmas 6x6 pad (MME)

JustRite Christmas Linky Party

 Hi everyone!  I have a card to share with you for the JustRite Stampers Christmas Linky Party!  JustRite has invited designers to get a jump on Christmas cards and link their blog posts to the JustRite blog's Mr. Linky.  The Linky Party is a week long party - so you have an entire week to create your JustRite Christmas Projects. 

My card uses the wreath image from Christmas Trimmings and the sentiment is from Deck the Halls.  I colored the wreath with Copic markers and added a dab of red stickles to each berry.  The Christmas paper is from the My Mind's Eye, 12 Days of Christmas pad.  I went pretty CAS on this one and yep, I used more circles on this one.  I can't help it, I am addicted to my Spellbinders™ Circles Nestabilities! 

This card is nice and flat -perfect for mailing!  Thanks for stopping by and I'll leave you with a close up picture.

Most supplies on this card can be found at the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.
