I LOVE the Amy R Sentiment sets!  Great price point!  Great shipping price from All That Scraps but most of all,  I LOVE how the red rubber stamps!  I don’t even mind the smell and I love cutting the stuff up!  crazy! lol  Check out the two new Valentine sets that CC Designs released last month, HERE.  Stamps are still 25% off!!!!!!!  HURRY!!!!  I ordered some more last night because more Magnolia stamps came in stock!!!!!  HURRY!!!  I know, pathetic! lol

Here’s that birthday card finally! lol

I had so many things I wanted to try but when I saw Shari’s card on the Hero Arts blog last week and then I saw the wrapping paper Heather picked to wrap the gifts she was giving for Christmas… I had to try to incorporate them all into her birthday card!

Hero Arts wreath, house, damask stamps,  May Arts ribbon,  Anna Griffin paper reindeer ribbon, Martha Stewart Scandinavian snowflake punch,  Hero Arts gems.  Copic Sketch Markers used to color the house – v91, 93, 95, 99 – YG91, 97, 99.  Rock Candy and Lace Frost Stickles.

I’m linking this to the Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge #88….

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy stamp shopping!  It’s a Winter Wonderland here…lots of snow… heavy frost on the trees…pretty!

a little Christmas from Hero Arts…

Pam Sparks25 Comments

I needed another Christmas card today…made me so happy that I got to try this!!!   I saw a card in Hero Arts Flickr gallery with some of their new stamps and I don’t have them “yet”  so I had to improvise!  I used Hero Arts H2887 Real Pine and the ornament is from a set LL260 Good Cheer Messages.  I did sneak in that Stampin Up Baroque stamp and I think the music background is Penny Black…it was fun to emboss and play  to create this anyway! : )  The paper lace/ruban at the bottom is from Basic Grey Capella.  I edged all the papers with vintage photo and/or walnut stain Distress inks, HERE and the ink blending tool, HERE…can’t stamp without them! lol

I hit the ribbon with the heat tool to make it “shrink  and crinkle” up.  Stampin Up and Bazzill card-stocks… not sure where those pearl things came from but I am so glad they were in my drawer! lol

Linking up to a some Challenge blogs…

Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog… “cut it out”

7Kids College Fund Challenge blog… “anything goes”

Simon Says Stamps Challenge blog… “anything goes”

Mad for Markers Challenge blog… “anything goes”

Hope you’re having fun creating…After Christmas I’ll be catching up with a lot of blog commenting that’s for sure!  I know I’ve missed a lot this week while I’ve been in the “getting cards mailed ” mode.

This card makes me want to burst out singing “Joy to the world”!  So thankful for Christmas…the birth of God’s son…hope you feel the JOY!
