Cards Made with November SOM - Cherish the Day

I finally got around to making cards with the November Stamp of the Month.  I started with the Sonoma paper pack.  I used the Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel to make the printed paper really stand out - unfortunately, the glitter doesn't really show in the picture.  The November SOM was stamped on Kraft paper with Smokey Plum ink.  The heart started as white which I inked lightly with Bamboo ink then I edged the heart with purple. 
I have a couple other ideas on how to use this stamp set and since it has a stamp for every month, that will be my excuse for posting them later... lol

Christmas Cards using October SOM - Holiday Magic

I haven't been able to get the blog to do all the things I had hoped so I'm giving in and posting my Christmas cards... someday I will get the other pieces figured out.... wish me luck....

Sleigh from October SOM


The card is Outdoor Denim.  The background is from the Believe paper pack.  The trees in the background are stamped in Topiary.  The 'snow' is white card stock that I ripped to look like snow.  And the sleigh is stamped in Cranberry.

Stockings from October SOM


 Card stock is Topiary from Believe paper pack - embossed with a cuttlebug folder then sanded.
The Topiary is from the Believe paper pack.  The background stripes are also from the Believe paper pack.  The oval is embossed with a cuttlebug folder.


Tree from Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge

The tree was cut from the Art Philosophy cartridge from Sweat Leaf paper then stamped in Topiary with the Seasons stamp set that comes with the Art Philosophy cartridge.  I added Liquid Applique to all of the dots - heated with the heat gun.
