You’re a Friend Like No One Elf

Just a quick holiday card featuring the BB Santa’s Elves stamp set by My Favorite Things and coordinating dies. I love the whimsy in this stamp set and the elves are easy to color. I was able to put this card together fairly fast and at this time of year, that’s a real plus!

I like adding patterned paper to the inside rather than leaving it white. Here I used the coordinating paper from Happy Christmas Three by Authentique and one of the sentiments from the Christmas Sampler stamp set by Paper Smooches.

I Hope Santa Spoils You Rotten

I’ve started making Christmas cards to post in the shop and to send out for the holidays. I fell in love with the Santa’s Elves stamp set  that My Favorite Things released last winter, but it was so popular that I couldn’t get it last year. So this year, I made sure that I had in my stamp collection.

The elves are simple to shade and color. I colored these in shades of red to keep it simple and quick. I had the Crimsom 6×6 paper pad from Recollections in my stash so I selected three different patterns. Colored up the image, added a few sequins, and voila! Three new Christmas cards! For the inside, I used a simple sentiment from Paper Smooches Christmas Sampler stamp set.

Sorry I Hissed at You

I recently broke my ankle, specifically my right ankle, which means that my days of hopping into the car and driving off have been replaced by hopping around on crutches. So when my husband volunteered to take me to Photo Scraps, I stocked up on some goodies including this stamp set from My Favorite Things.

I meant to make Valentine Day cards, but time got away from me without a single card being made. So this seemed like a great opportunity to destash some Bo Bunny cardstock that I bought a few months ago.
