Spending A Blustery November Day in the Craft Room

It was sunny, but windy and cold. The trees are almost bare. What better time to think of holiday cards and tags.

I tried some simple tags with just stamping and antiquing on the edges.

Adding some ribbon and a single, frosty snowflake gave it some holiday shimmer.

 I made up a shoebox of supplies for everyone to make their own Monday.

Now for the holiday card design.  I used nothing new, just scraps, Washi tape and ribbon strips

to make a colorful background. The sentiment Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas is dry embossed

and split diagonally.  A few rhinestone stars  red, green or silver and a ribbon add some sparkle.

An easy and fun to assemble kit for our card-making session on Monday afternoon.

And one more card for a friend who just had surgery.

Some color popping bursts, a scripty Hello, a few pearls

and coordinating organza ribbon make it energetic.

Just what she needs!

I now need to start production on my Christmas card.

The supplies I ordered are in.

The design is set and a prototype card made up.

Now, cut, cut, dry emboss, dry brush,

assemble and accentuate--80 times!
