SIMPLE CHRISTMAS TREE

Today I'm sharing with you the second card that we made at my monthly stamp club that was held last Monday.

It is very cute, very simple, Christmas tree! The tree is made using the mid sized pennant from the new Pennant Die for the always fabulous Big Shot.

I also used the Delicate Dots embossing folder for the card's front. I used the small circle from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack for the red glimmer paper, then I used the large oval punch to make slices from the silver glimmer paper. I punched the star using the retired small star punch and the trunk is just a 1/2" piece of Early Espresso. I stamped the Curly Cute sentiment in Real Red on Very Vanilla card stock and used the corner rounder punch for the corners. So easy....but I LOVE this card!!! I am going to make more of these to send out this year.

Here is a peek at the inside....

I used the pennant punch for the tree and a scrap of Early Espresso for the trunk....they are mounted on a piece of Very Vanilla.

Well, that's it for me today.....have a GREAT Christmas season and THANKS for visiting!!

Until next time....find some time for stampin!!

Hugs, Cindy

OWL PUNCH ~ CLUB CARD

Hi Stampers!

I have had every intention of being a more consistent blogger....but life just seems to keep getting in the way....darn it!! Oh well....I do need to keep my priorities straight though.

This week Madison has been bugged by an ear infection....so today I took her in to see her pediatrician. She not only has an ear infection, but blisters on her eardrums (OUCH!!!). She is on the road to recovery with antibiotics.....so by the time school starts next Thursday she should be 100% and ready for the school year.

Also, this week Andy was away at camp and came home today.....he was EXHAUSTED!!! But he had a WONDERFUL time....we sure missed him though!! I wish I had taken a picture of him when he arrived home....he was COVERED in dirt, along with ALL his belongings!! But I still had to give his dirty face a big kiss!!!

This coming Monday evening is my monthly stamp club.....so I spent some fun time designing a card for them to do. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the new Owl Punch.....there are ENDLESS possibilities!!!

This card was SO EASY to make......I just love how it turned out!

I also have to show you what the inside looks like.....thought it turned out pretty cute too!

All I did was cut a circle out of scrap and place it over my inside piece and stamp it using the Woodgrain background stamp.
