Christmas Card #3

Today's card is my third Christmas card that was made for 2010.  I did actually make some others, but did not photograph them before sending it off ... oops.  I had a blast making my cards this year, but am ready to move onto other themes and stamp sets.

The final one ...

Stamps:  Jolly Old St. Nick
Paper:  Bashful  Blue, Cherry Cobbler, Wild Wasabi, White
DSP:  Bashful Blue
Ink:  Black, Cherry Cobbler
Accessories:  Nestabilities circle/scalloped dies, brads, Prismacolor markers, daubers
All products are SU unless otherwise noted.

I making this post short and sweet today... I'm pretty tired this evening.  I was at Belk Department store at 5:50 a.m. this morning.  They were giving away gift cards to the first 250 customers.  My lucky husband and daughter's card was worth $100 ... mine $5. Ok, I was the loser this morning, though I did have fun shopping and then meeting some good friends for breakfast. 


Until next time ...

Christmas card No. 2

Happy Friday!  I had a great day shopping with Bethany yesterday.  We got a lot accomplished and had a lot of laughs.  It has definitely put me in the Christmas spirit now that we are all together.  Now I just need to wrap our purchases ... that is what tomorrow is for. 

The card I'm posting today is one of my Christmas cards that I sent out to my family and friends.  I made three different cards and actually posted one earlier here.  That one was made for a color challenge.  I liked it so much that I made more.  For today's card, I used the same set, just a different stamp from it.

Stamps:  Jolly Old St. Nick
Paper:  Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla
DSP:  Jolly Holiday
Ink:  Old Olive, Black
Accessories:  oval punch, corner punch, Old Olive ribbon, Prismacolor markers and pencils, snowflake from cricut cartridge, brad, sponge, Stickles

All products are SU unless otherwise noted.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

PPA 72 - Fashion Inspiration

Like everyone else out there this time of year, we are all so busy.  I wanted to take a few minutes away from shopping and wrapping presents to make a card for the Pals Paper Arts challenge this week.  Here is the inspiration photo ...

I've always admired the folks out there that can put a card together in 10 minutes.  I thought, I'm going to try this...once again.  Well, I still cannot put together a card in 10 minutes ... lol.   Today's card was created in about an hour ... I'm slow I know.  My daughter is always giving me a hard time about my procrastination on what I want to do next to the card.  I'm forever doing something and then taking it apart and trying something else.  That was the case of this card too.  Here is my finished quick, clean and simple card ...

Stamps:  Jolly Old St. Nick, Curly Cute

Paper:  White, Sahara Sand

Ink:  Sahara Sand, Bashful Blue Marker

Accessories:  Rhinestones, Dazzling Diamonds, dauber,blender pen, CB swiss dots embossing folder, white ribbon (non-SU)

All products are SU unless otherwise noted.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Paper Players Color Challenge

I really wanted to make a card last week for The Paper Players snowman challenge, but it was never accomplished.  I was working on my Christmas cards all week.  When I saw what their color challenge was today, I knew I had to make time to participate.  So I did just that this afternoon.  My hubby headed out-of-town on business and Michael was doing homework, so I came upstairs and created.

This is what got my inspiration swirling along with the sketch challenge (#306) at Splitcoast.

This is what my inky fingers created ...

Stamps:  Jolly Old St. Nick

Paper:  Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Always Artichoke

DSP:  Jolly Holly

Ink:  Staz-on black

Accessories:  Cuttlebug Spots & Dots embossing folder, eyelets (non-SU), Spellbinder circle dies, Prismacolor markers & pencils, White Signo pen, Crop-a-dile

All products are SU! unless otherwise noted.

• I used my Signo pen to color in all the white parts ... it adds some texture too.
• I did not want to add too many details to this card.  I wanted Santa to be my main focal point.
• I apologize for the photograph not being the best.  I took the picture tonight and used artificial light.

Thanks for stopping by and I enjoy reading your comments.  If you have any questions, please e-mail me at pgiudici@comcast.net. 

Have a great day,
