As you all know November is the time to gear up for Christmas shopping. So many sales and crowds, well stick with us we have some great deals for your Holiday Shopping needs.

 

 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:

"Winter Scenes"

This set is my favorite set this month. I love music and making cards with music, so this set had my name written all over it!! I have 3 samples to show you. On card took 3 hours to make, one took 1 hour and one took 15 mins. (You will have to guess which card is which.)

On my first card. I stamped the background sheet music onto cream dp. I tore around the edges,  cut it it into 3 strips and I cut the three strips into four squares. I then ink distressed each square and sewed them to a cream piece of cardstock. I then took a piece of dp with a flower on it and stamped the two little music notes on it. I also stamped the music notes next to the scripture. I added a tea stained doily, ribbon, pearl beads on gold wire, two brown brads and handmade quilled peace roses.  This is card for a friend who just started a new job. It is really stressful for her. I am hoping that this card will cheer her up.

For this card I picked a piece of dp that had a design that was at an angle. I masked the top and stamped the sheet music over it. I then stamped the greeting from Daffodil Greetings. I stamped the little music notes by the sentiment as well as along the side. I then added ribbon and the pearl stick pins.

 My son said that this next one is his favorite of the three. I was going for a masculine look and I think I achieved that. The top three panels were paint chip samples that someone gave me with a bag of scraps. They were kinda small and I wasn't sure if I would ever use them. I had the striped dp on my desk and they matched pretty close to the paint chips. The paint chips were for a granite paint. They kinda remind me of sand paper. There is a gritty texture, and it has a little sparkle to it.

So did you guess which card was which? The first one took 3 hours the second one 15 mins and the last one 1 hour,

I hope you have enjoyed hopping with us this week.
