Hi! It's a perfectly gray, gloomy Pacific NW day today and a good day to make cards.

I just got this cute little tree border die and had some fun making cards yesterday afternoon. I really like how this card turned out using black and silver for this week's Dynamic Duos challenge.

This would have been much easier if I'd also had the pine background die that goes with the border die but SSS was out of stock. Ah well!  I first stamped the sentiment and then embossed the snow. Next I attached the black tree border using glue. I die cut the trees again out of silver paper. Before piecing in the silver pieces I pressed the embossed flakes within the tree outline down flat. My QuickStik tool was a lifesaver for picking up those tiny little pieces and putting them in place.

Well I'm only about half done with my Christmas cards. Lots more to make and I still have packing to do for our move next month. Back to it. Have a great day!

SUPPLIES:
Stamps: 'Tis The Season Sentiments (PTI)
Paper: Basic Black (SU), White (PTI), silver
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Other: Pine Border Outline die (Memory Box), Dots #5 EF (Sizzix), Baker's twine


Edited:  WAHOO! My card was chosen as a Dynamic Duo Runner Up!

New Ink Splash & DD#66

Good Morning! It's a beautiful, sunny day in the Pacific NW!  Today I have a card for the Dynamic Duos Challenge using a set I just got called Ink Splash.  The challenge is to use Pool Party and Black. These two colors are wonderful together!

I usually fuss and fuss over my cards but this one came together quickly.  I stamped the ink splashes, added the sentiment and followed it up with some dots and sequins. The white/black layers are popped up on dimensionals - kinda hard to see that. Have a great day! I think I'll go make some more ink splashes :-)

Supplies:
Stamps: Ink Splash (Neat and Tangled), Side by Side Sentiments (PTI)
Paper: Pool Party, Basic Black, Whisper White (SU)
Ink: Pool Party (SU), Versafine Onyx
Accessories: Pool Party Candy Dot (SU), silver rhinestone (Recollections), black sequins (Avery Elle), dimensionals


Edited 8/24: Wahoo!! My card was chosen for an Honorable Mention. Yay!

Giddy With Excitement

Well I'm so excited. The card I submitted for the Dynamic Duos Challenge was picked as a Dynamic Darling.  Yay!

Well I'm off to my craft room for more stamping :-)  See you all later!
