Merry Monday Anything Goes Christmas Card

I joined a card/project swap this past month and just finished up my cards for it, so I thought I'd share it with you. It also works for the current challenge over at Merry Monday "Anything Goes Christmas".

Recipe:
Paper: Frosted, Crystal Blue CS, White Daisy CS
Stamp: Look To The Light
Ink: Twilight
Tools: Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors, Scallop Border Punch, Sponge Dauber
Other: Red Shimmer Trim, Aqua Dots, MIFYH Volume 2
(All supplies by CTMH)

I've never used the shimmer trim before and have to admit that I love the self-adhesive backing, and how it lays flat, making it perfect for mailing.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Merry Monday #43 Silver-licious Card

Silver has always been one of my favorite colors. My father owns an excavating and trucking business, and our first company colors were black and silver, followed by a second company that was red and silver. From the time I was 12, I would answer phones for him, or type up the occasional proposal. Now, 20+years, I am still working for him, but with a more official title of Bookkeeper.

This next card showcases my love of silver quite well. 

Recipe:
Paper: Pink Polka Dot Paper, Silver Pearls CS (Jo-Ann's), White Daisy CS (CTMH)
Stamps: All The Best, A Holiday (CTMH)
Inks: Hollyhock (CTMH), Black Pigment (Tsuniko)
Tools: Scallop Border Punch (SU!), Craft Heater, Craft Tray, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors, Sponge (CTMH)
Other: Clear Detail Embossing Powder, Bitty Sparkles, Glue Dots (CTMH), Black Gingham Ribbon (Jo-Ann's)

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
1. Merry Monday #43 Challenge
2. There She Goes TSG183 Inspiration Challenge

Have a great night.

Merry Monday #41 Christmas Card

When I first looked at this next sketch, I thought snowflakes. After a few days of looking at the sketch, I thought about ornaments. Then I remembered that I had a cute Spellbinders Shapeabilities set that would be perfect. From there, it was a quick conclusion for the rest of the card.

I was inspired by the sketch from Merry Monday.

Recipe:
Paper: Red Polka Dot (On The Bright Side: MME),  Green Check (Kissing Booth), Chocolate CS, Colonial White CS (CTMH)
Stamps: Very Merry Christmas, December 25th (CTMH)
Inks: Chocolate, Cranberry (CTMH)
Tools: Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors, Floral Doily Motifs Shapeabilities (Spellbinders)
Other: Green Sparkles, Cranberry Baker's Twine, Foam Tape (CTMH)

Thanks for stopping by.
