Simple Snowman


Whew! Last card for my adventure tonight. I had another card in mind but it involved punches that were already in use in another card & there's no way I'm going to make a big crowd have to share between tables. So, I came up with something different.
He's super simple, but I do like the set-up. The Northern Flurries folder fits so nicely on the Top Note. It's hard to tell in the photo but the embossed snowflakes are given a little extra pop by the addition of some shimmer mist (small spray bottle of alcohol mixed with a good serving of Shimmer Paint). It really helps them to stand out. I thought about adding some snowflakes to the Razzleberry layer, but in the end simplicity won out. I sure hope the ladies tonight like what I've come up with for them. It's always great fun to meet new stampers!

Mojo Santa


I'm doing things a bit out of order this week, but I think that's okay. Mojo Monday on Wednesday seems appropriate for a week when I can't seem to get the days of the week straight. Short weeks always do that to me!
When I saw that the Mojo Monday sketch for this week included the Tag Punch, I just couldn't wait to use some more of my new Christmas stamps! The Santa tag from Tags Til Christmas is way too cute and goes so well with my favorite of our Santa stamps. There's nothing really fancy on this one beyond sponging the embossed bottom section to make the dots pop out a bit more, but I still like it. Besides, if you're making BUNCHES of your Christmas cards, simple is the way to go.

June Xmas Tree


Yes, I know, it's not a Mojo Monday card. Stay tuned for that one...there are just a few too many things for me to get done before work this morning. It will come though! :)
While taking photos this morning, I came to the conclusion that this card needs another layer. No worries though, I'll add one before my first Christmas in June class. That's one of the great things about getting everything ready to post here first: I have plenty of time for revisions!
I am finding it really fun to take out all of my holiday goodies to play in May. I think there may be a new tradition starting...
