I used the new Lamppost for a Christmas card!  I know, crazy! lol  I just associate lampposts with carolers at Christmas… so my next card with the post will be for Spring,  since I got the Christmas one out of my head! lol  I used the bow from a Sugarplums stamp kit, I don’t see it in the store anymore and a couple sentiments from  Amy R’s Christmas sentiment sets… I’ll link them below.

The bow is colored with R02, 05, 08 and E07,  the post is colored with the Warm Grays.  The pattern paper and card-stock stickers are from Basic Grey’s Jovial pack.  I used the largest Labels One die from the newest size set. Edged everything with ink and the ink blending tool.  Added a couple pine branches from the Martha Stewart punch.

Inside I cut the Magnolia Doohickey’s Vintage tag die (link below) and stamped the sentiment on it and used a few of the card-stock stickers again from the Jovial paper kit.

I’m linking my card to the Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge blog… use a little yellow.

Stamp “stuff” I used on this card…

Thanks for stopping by!  Don’t panic… lots of days before Christmas! : ))

Flashback…

So here’s the scoop for Flashback Friday Challenge Blog**first card you have posted with a window cut into the front of the card** I found this in my Splitcoast Stampers Gallery,  I made it for Christmas 2007.   yipes,  where does the time go!  I know I got the idea from someone online but I sure don’t remember where now!  If it was you,  THANKS!  I loved the inspiration!  This is not the first card I ever made with a window cut in the front… I’ve been stamping since April of 1994,  so it’s impossible to remember that first one! For me that is!!! lol

HERE is my card in my SCS gallery.  Wish I had a picture of the inside but I can’t find one. figures.

What a fun challenge blog… I love looking back… have a nice day and see you tomorrow!
