I've been busy making Christmas cards to send off for a good cause. You can read about it here. I've always felt incredibly blessed that both of my kids were healthy and had no illnesses that could not be treated. Whenever I read about a child who has not been so lucky, my heart goes out to them and their parents. I'm hoping to have a dozen cards in the mail by the middle of the week. I'm thinking some will be duplicates of these.
Stamp: Rubber Moon; cardstock: Kraft and Pure Black by Papertrey, Patterned paper: 7 Gypsies, Prisma colored pencils. I found this cute stamp last weekend at Stampassion in Latham, NY. It had been several years since I'd been there, and I picked up a couple of stamps and a few embellishments.
Another version: Pure Poppy cardstock by Papertrey and patterned paper by Graphic 45, ribbon from Paper Source.
Embossing folder by Quickutz, ribbon by Papertrey, tree "decorations" Smooch, cardstock Papertrey
This was also done for a Hero Arts challenge. Quickutz embossing folder, Smoky Shadow cardstock by Papertrey, Hero Arts stamps, tree toppers Accents, Too by Mrs. Grossman, silver twine from Paper Source.
My first attempt at stamping on sticky back canvas. That went fine, but the distressing is a bit overdone. Stamps: Winter Swirl and Signature Christmas by Papertrey; patterned paper Eskimo Kisses by Basic Grey; twill Papertrey; Stickyback Canvas Claudine Hellmuth.
Stamp: 2008 Christmas Tag Collection by Papertrey, embossing folder by Cuttlebug, gold ribbon from stash.
I love how all the Papertrey stamp sets seem to work together. This card uses stamps from three different sets: 2008 Holiday Tags, Winter Swirls, and Signature Christmas. Ribbon and cardstock are unknown and from my stash, the gem is from Michaels and the tag is embellished with some Silver Fox Smooch.
