     This is a fun Thanksgiving card made with the new Expressions Framelits and the Magnificent Maple Stamp from the new Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog. I used baby wipes and reinkers for my stamp pad.  It is a fun technique, but takes some practice.

Here is the inside of the card. Thanks for looking.

     This card also uses Island Indigo card stock as the base and a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock. I ran the Whisper White piece through the Big Shot with the Northern Flurry Embossing Template. Then I added snowflakes from the Snow Flurry Bigz Die from the Winter Catalog. I cut out the two largest snow flakes from Island Indigo and Pool Party. I layered them for sort of a reversed shadow look. Then used the 1" punch and glimmer paper for the center. I used the large oval punch for the saying. I punched out a Whisper White, Island Indigo, and a Silver Glimmer paper oval. I cut the Island Indigo and Silver Glimmer ovals in two and layered them behind the saying.

Quick Christmas Cards

     Wow! My first blog entry. I have always wanted to do this, but never made the time. I hope you all can find some useful ideas here.

  This first card is very simple. I used Island Indigo as the card base and a 4" x  5 1/4" piece of whisper white layered onto that. The eyes are from the 3/4" punch and the mouth from the large circles of the owl punch. The nose is a leaf from the build a blossom (I think that's the name) punch, out of Tangerine Tango. I also sponged on a little pretty in pink for cheeks and added lines to the nose with a Tangerine Tango marker to make it look more like a carrot. The Merry Christmas stamp is from the Come to Bethlehem stamp set. I stamped it in Island Indigo.

 Not sure how to add another picture so I will post again later. Hope you enjoyed this one
