Holiday Greetings

I was on a roll last week and played with this fun stamp set by Pink & Main that I got from Scrapbook.com. It's called Winter Cardinals and has a coordinating die set.  You've seen a couple cards last month using this set.

I used a print from my stash that kinda coordinated with the image. I colored my image using my OLO markers. Sadly I'm still a bit shaky so my coloring isn't that good. You can see it in the scarf.
 

 I added some little gold sticker dots from my stash.  I still have a bunch from teaching years ago at a scrapbook store in Green Valley, AZ.

Now I have 2 cards for next year.  I ran out for this year since I've been unable to function from the chemo and sent out a bunch of store bought cards. I haven't purchased cards in about 25 years.

Penguin Chrisstmas

I'm feeling so much better that I actually played at my desk! I had some great sequins that required me to use a fun penguin stamp set from Whimsy Stamps called Penguin Farts. This set is an absolute hoot! There is a coordinating die set but I don't have it.

I get such a laugh from these penguins. And the sentiments in the set are hilarious! I recently received the Merry Christmas die from a friend (it's probably from Wish) but just had to use it.
 

How do you like my sequins? I used a fun Picket Fence Studios sequin set called Penguins Come to Christmas. It's kinda hard to get a good close up but you can see the little penguins in the mix! I love them!

I only have a few days before I go in for surgery and hope to get my required Spellbinders projects done before then. My brother is coming from Denver to be with me and Dean through the surgery and a couple days after. I won't be able to make any cards for about 2 weeks after I'm supposed to go home about the 27th or 28th.

Forever Mine

I started on this card last week but my chemo fatigue stopped me. I'm glad it did because this is nothing like I was planning. I decided to make Spellbinders Small Die of the Month, Stitched Die Card Front, into an easel card!

This is a small card, 3 1/2" x 4 3/4". The die set was actually made to fit a standard A2 card but I wanted to do something different. I love all the samples I've seen but again, something different.


Here's the front view. It's kinda hard to see the little red gems in the black circles but in person, they pop!
 

 I used 1 strand of silver floss for my stitching. And the heart was cut from Red Mirror card stock. I used my Bearly Art Glue to adhere the black grid piece to my deep red card stock.

I like how this turned out, don't you?
