Buffalo Plaid Christmas

Most of my cards are for my design teams, but sometimes I just play around and make a card for fun.  Such as this white Buffalo check card...

This is pretty basic, too, other than my BG.  I found some stencils at Tuesday Morning that were intended for cookies, but they are in my craft room and will probably never ever make it to the kitchen!!  :D
I used the Buffalo plaid (AKA gingham) stencil and used my blending brush and added black ink to white cardstock.   I used 2 different sized snowflake punches and embossed them with CB Swiss Dots.  My sentiment is Pink & Main's Merry Christmas stamp and die set.

We'd love to have you play along with us this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches!

Snow much fun!

I've got a thank you card to show you today.  I'm so excited that ALL of my Christmas cards are mailed!   (That does not usually happen until the week before Christmas, so I'm happy this year!)   So now I need to get going on thank you cards.

I used Doodle Pantry's Snow Birdie.  It's printed on Kraft (not sure why it has a pink tint!), cut with Spellbinders Labels 8, and inked with TH faded jeans.  My DP is Recollections Winter Frost, and the snowflake brad and twine are both Recollections.

Need a hug?

**Click HERE or scroll down for my Tuesday Morning Sketches post.**

I don't often post more than once a day but wanted to share these little cuties.  This card is on its way to my daughter.  She begins her mid-terms tomorrow!!  She is a good student and studies hard, so I'm certain she will do well with the Lord's help, but I wanted to send her some encouragement, too. 

I have so many 6x6 pads that are mostly gone, so I'm trying to use up all the left over pages.  These are from We R Memory Keepers "hall pass."  My image is Big Bear Hug from Doodle Pantry.  The tag is from Kraft Outlet.

Challenges...
Little Red Wagon #311 - tags
Tuesday Throwdown #267 - "You have my support"

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!!

More notes for hubby

When I started making cards, I made them as I needed them to use and give.  (It usually took me a couple of hours to make one!!)  Then I discovered challenges.  :)  For awhile, I made cards to fit the challenge.  That's ok, but often they were a card that I would not necessarily use.  Kind of a waste!  So now I make cards that I will use and that will often fit in challenges.  These cards, I will not technically use, but my husband will. :)

These cards are pretty CAS as were the last bunch I made for him.  This makes it easy for it to be mailed!  And also I can make more for him in a shorter amount of time.  The image is Assemble Together from Doodle Pantry.  It is cut using Spellbinders Scalloped Labels One and Labels One.  I used a MS border punch on some and ribbon on some.  I've got several more images printed, so I'll be back before too long with some more to show you.
