Santa Black & White

I love black & white cards as well as clean & simple and because I had sent card to many people either donation or at one point my mailing list was close to 300 had to figure out how to make many cards that were nice that still had work but easy to mass produce and this was one of them. I picked damask brocade page embossing folder by CB and my Santa stamp love his face then from there I started embossing my paper and then stamping until I got tired of the same image then punched the Santa with 1-3/4" circle punch, cut the embossed layer to the size I wanted and then cut my black layers to mat both finally used a black glitter tape ribbon and finished the cards

SW Christmas

I like some SW images so when I saw this stamp at the stamp show years ago had to have it for a different kind of card. Some areas in México have a lot of cactus and I love tunas mostly the green, but I can eat the red, I do hate to peel them though. For this card I stamped the image with Memento tuxedo black and colored with Copic markers for the Christmas lights used glaze pens and for the star used a star shape rhinestone in my stash

Peel-off Christmas

More quick and simple Christmas card. These were done with peel-off stickers, homemade glitter paper and Spectrum Noir alcohol markers

For the first three used Merry Christmas stamp by Impress with the first and third with Memento tuxedo black ink and the second with Memento dew drop love letter ink

for this last card used cute & curly stamp set by SU and oval punch with Memento dew drop northern pine ink

Christmas ornament

This is another Christmas card that is quick and easy and one that you can make multiples very easy. I embossed the layer of red with Christmas set the one that had words by Cuttlebug then used SU's ornament punch then on the area that I had the opening but on the card base I used a bunch of washi tapes from my stash to cover the opening then mounted the embossed layer finally added the polka dot ribbon by Offray

Clean & simple Christmas

These two cards are on the very clean and simple great for making multiples very easy. For the first used holly embossing folder by Cuttlebug then stamped one of the 2010 Heirloom ornaments with Memento rich cocoa ink from nesties ornament stamp set by Sparkle N Sprinkle that matches with the ornaments die set by Spellbinders which I used to die cut it mounted it on the layer as if it was hanging from the branch added the 3/16" feather edge white ribbon by Offray; for the message used a scrap to stamp one of the messages from Tradiciones Navideñas stamp set by SU with Memento rich cocoa ink then punched it with extra-large oval also by SU

For this one switch the embossing folder to winter wonderland also by Cuttlebug and used Memento tuxedo black ink, added berry pearls stickers by MB as berries and the ribbon is 1/8" double face red satin by Offray

Hanukkah

Found another Hanukkah card I made with the same festive Menorah stamp by American Art Stamp that I put in my donation box last month. For this was very similar to yesterday's card except I used a lighter blue A2 size on top of a white card base and then a silver shimmery paper then die cut the circles with Small circles and small scalloped circles dies sets by Spellbinders on the white circle stamped the Menorah with Brilliance platinum planet ink and colored with Wink of Stella glitter brushes yellow, silver and blue. For the message I typed it on the computer and then punched with word window and mounted on a layer punched with modern label both by SU

Happy Hanukkah

 Hanukkah started last December 7th at sunset and will end December 15th at nightfall. I started sending cards to the parents of a stamping friend who are Jewish with this card. I wanted to have texture on the card but wasn't sure how to add it with the only stamp I have so I used glitter paper for my top layers. I will think of something else for next year but for this time which I had to come up with in a day as I wanted it to arrive on time I made the card base of Accent Opaque Digital International Paper 120 lb. cover smooth white cardstock then die cut a layer of Navy 65 lb. cardstock by Recollections with Cindy Echtinaw Designs Card Creator Perfect Layers A and then cut with trimmer the dazzling diamonds glimmer paper by SU then decided to cut a strip of navy and another glimmer paper then on another piece of glimmer paper stamped a few time with Tuxedo Black memento ink the Menorah which is a stamp by American Art Stamp then colored with Copic Markers. In the center there was a star so I added an epoxy star which I also colored with a Copic marker then punched the pieces with a 2-1/4" and a layer of navy of 2-1/2" both punches by EK Success. Mounted all flat
