Hello Again!

For those of you who read my blog, I apologize I’ve been MIA for a month. A month! It was just a case of life. Work, holidays, things like that. I have not stamped in a while. In fact I decided I was not going to send out christmas cards this year because I didn’t have time to make them (heaven forbid I buy a pack of greeting cards–people will think I’ve gone cuckoo). Today, being snowed in, I decided (read guilt-tripped) to make Christmas cards.

 

I had my eye on these from www.tinyprints.com and thought I could make them instead. I love tinyprints and have ordered before. I highly recommend them!

Supplies: Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White, Shimmery White; Ink: Chocolate Chip, RHR, Stazon White; Stamps: Season of Friendship, Best Yet (hostess set).

This is a 4.25″ x 5.5″ postcard (on the back I printed out a label that says the greeting with our names). The snow is piece of torn shimmery white cardstock stamped with the Best Yet sentiment in RHR. I matted the picture on a piece of white and RHR cardstock. The background is Baja Breeze with the tree from Season of Friendship stamped on the far left side. Then I stamped the snowflakes in stazon white b/c I was NOT bothering with craft ink or emossing. The little bird I stamped in RHR on white cardstock and cut him out, sticking him on the tree with a glue dot. Yes I cut out 28 tiny birds!

Surprisingly, I don’t have enough christmas cards for all my family & friends but I’m out of envelopes and out of patience (LOL) so I’m using random xmas cards I made a few months ago. They may not be as cute but they’ll do!
