I am having the most lovely weekend, I stamped all day today making cards for ME to give away, not cards that I need to make for classes, design work or magazine work and it was lovely to not work with restrictions, I love “ME“ stamping sessions. I have had issues with my creative mojo most of this year it has felt but I am starting to feel I am slowly finding my mojo again. I have a few birthdays coming up that require “special cards” so that’s what I was working on today and this card is one of the cards I made today. I have used Beate’s weekend sketch {WSC102} I love her sketches. I have used Summer Love Rub-Ons, Great Friend Stamps and Walk in the Park papers from the current Spring Mini from Stampin’ Up!.

Here is the Beate’s weekend sketch {WSC102}

Here is my card:

And inside the card with a Butterfly image I have applied a “Inspire” Rub-On over, This is very suitable because this friend that is receiving this card is so inspiring. I just need to write my message inside, I can’t believe I did not start decorating the insides of my years ago because they look so nice and feel ‘finished’.

Materials Used:
Stamps: A little Birthday Cheer and Great Friend
Ink: Cameo Coral, Basic Grey and Baja Breeze
Paper: Walk in the Park, Cameo Coral, Basic Grey and Baja Breeze
Ribbon: Baja Breeze
Spellbinders: Label Nine

Tree Trimmings is one of my fave Christmas Set this year. It is in the Spring Mini and Super value at only $24.95. I could not wait to get playing with it and get a head start on my Christmas Card. For me Christmas Cards need to be simple because I make so many of them. This card is just very simple with only a few layers which I am not used to but I am really happy with this card.

To make this card, All I have done is folded Old Olive A5 Cardstock in Half. Tied Ribbon around a piece of Baja Breeze and attached to the front of the card as shown. For the main image panel I have stamps the Strings in Choc Chip at different levels using a Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to make sure they are all straight, While I had the Choc Chip ink pad open I stamped the greeting for Best Yet. The Christmas balls were Stamped on Whisper White then cut out and attached with a Stampin’ Dimensional to the end of each string. I guess I could of made the cards a bit quicker had I not cut out the balls, BUT…. That’s just not me {lol}.

Materials Used: All Stampin’ Up!
Stamps: Tree Trimmings and Best Yet (Hostess Set)
