Snowy Thank You

I have another dog card for you today.  This time I used a little stamp from Rosie's Roadshow called Bentley.  Rosie's Roadshow stamps are all small and they have a quirky sense of humor that I really like!  This is one of my favorite because it looks just like our dog, Bella. It's a good stamp to build scenes around.  The tree is from a Stampin' Up set called Festival of Trees.  I used Ranger Distress inks to stamp the trees.  The colors are Pine Needles and Peeled Paint.  The frame was made using a Die-namics die from My Favorite Things called Stitched Rectangle Scallop Frames.

I took some typing paper and cut 3 pieces with different wavy lines.  I used them as masks to make the snowy hills and I used a Clarity brush to apply the Night of Navy ink.  I am so in love with these brushes and the smooth soft look you get with them!!  Once I got the hills done, I used the same masks and stamped the trees.  The card seemed too flat so I stamped some more trees and added them with foam tape.

On the inside I used a stamp from the Stampin' Up set called Floral Phrases, a Die-namics die called Stitched Mini Scallop Rectangle STAX to echo the scalloped frame on the front and little Bentley again!  

Here is a picture of our Bella...isn't that stamp perfect for her?

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Keep stamping :)

Festival of Trees Tag

I needed a little tag for a gift I was sending up to my Dad and made this one using Stampin' Up's Festival of Trees.  I've used this set a lot this year.  The trees are a great size and look wonderful all decorated and the punch makes cutting them out sooo easy!  Here is my tag...

I used card stock from my scrap folders and stamped the tree, punched it out and then decorated it with Peel Off glitter dots from Elizabeth Crafts.  I colored some of the white glitter dots with Copics.   Then I added a greeting, a little glitter ribbon and a string and it was done!  Here's a close up picture.  

I was lucky enough to arrive at the post office during a lull and had only 3 people ahead of me!!  Imagine that on the Saturday before Christmas!  It made me a happy girl!  I was expecting to be in line for an hour :)

I hope your holiday chores are close to completion so you can enjoy family and friends at this very special time of year!

Happy Holidays!
