play time

I promised my mom I'd make Tita Rose a card to thank her for her pasalubong, so I took out my PaperTrey stamps and started to play! I had fun with this, although it was a bit disconcerting that I couldn't find the correct shade of green that I wanted. I didn't want to use the Versa inkpads that I had as I didn't want to stain my acrylics; oh, and those can really leave their mark! Ho, I am such an OC. I settled for a generation stamp of SU's Old Olive. This design is actually a scraplift of Nichole Heady's card. I made a matching envelope to boot! How cool is that. This is making me not want to part with the card set. Haha!
Supplies: CS: generic; Stamps: PTI Butterfly Kisses; Ink: SU Old Olive; blings

Then, I decided to give some love to some of my other new stamp sets - some didn't come out the way I wanted them to, so I handed them down to Nikki. Well, this one didn't quite come out right either, but I'll just post it anyways.

Supplies: CS: generic; Stamps: PTI Faux Ribbon and SU Lexicons of Love and Paisley and Dots sets; Ink: Versa black and SU Cameo Coral

I managed to put together the last (I think) of my holiday cards for this year. I couldn't decide which charm to use so I just picked both. Made 5 of these altogether. I mounted the mini cards on foam tape to make them pop up a bit.
