be merry

Once again I am late for mojo monday. Oh well, better late than never I say! Today, I wanted to do something a little more simple. I only used one stamp.

• I started out with a standard card (5 1/2x 4 1/4) in Soft Suede. I used one of the designs from the Christmas Cocoa Specialty paper cut at 5 1/4 x 4 which is layered on the card base.
• I cut a piece of the Real Red paper from the Christmas Cocoa Specialty paper at 5 1/4 x 1 1/2 and layered it to the card base.
• On a piece of 2 1/2 x 4 Soft Suede, I layered yet another design from the Christmas Cocoa Specialty paper cut at 2 1/4 x 3 3/4.
• For the top layer, I cut a piece of Soft Suede at 3 1/2 x 3. I layered a piece of 3 1/4 x 2 3/4 Very Vanilla. I stamped the "be merry" from the Warm Words stamp set in Real Red.
• The bird and poinsettia were both made with Stampin' Up!'s Birds and Blooms Sizzlets dies for the Big Shot. I punched tiny Yo-Yo Yellow dots for the eye and center of the poinsettia. The poinsettia is popped up with dimensionals.
• Done!

I am using this card for two challenges this week; mojo monday 113 and Pals Paper Arts (PPA16). Be sure to stop by both sites and try the challenges for yourself. They are great fun!! Thanks for visiting and have a great day.

Cherish

Today's card is for Pals Paper Arts K.I.S.S. challenge. I knew right away which stamp I was going to use because we just got back from a destination wedding. It was beautiful and simple. The couple got married on the beach at sunset.


Now for the card. I used Whisper White and Elegant Eggplant as my only two colors. The bride and groom is from the To Have & to Hold set which is retired. I added some "bling" with the Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the flowers and the sentiment. The word "cherish" is from the warm words stamp set and punched with the word window punch.


I hope you like the card and be sure to go to www.palspaperarts.com to participate in the challenge. You just might get addicted like I am. Thanks for visiting and have a nice day.
