Hello peeps and Happy Monday to you! I hope that you all had a lovely weekend! I decided to throw a cup of coffee all over the couch first thing Saturday morning! That was a fun clean up! The rest of the weekend was filled with friends as it should be. Brian made me some pickled onions and butternut squash soup on Saturday and I got to see Heather on Sunday. Her and George went to Bear Mountain for a hike on Saturday. She will be feeling that today. We went to IKEA and looked at the Holiday goodies that they have. I got a few glass ornaments in bright fun colors. I stopped by Brian and Kim’s after to have some dinner and homemade apple pie. A fun weekend but always way too fast!
Since we are in November, can you believe that, it’s time to get cracking on the Holiday cards! I have a Christmas card for you today. I used the Simon Says Stamp Warmth and Wonder Stamp Set and Simon Says Stamp Gingerbread, Earl, Cranberry, Cocoa, Rhubarb and Apple Pawsitively Saturated Ink to stamp the bow, bird and sled onto Hammermill 100lb Card Stock. To make it a little easier to line them up I die cut them out first with the coordinating Simon Says Stamp Warmth and Wonder Dies. I cut out an extra to back them all for a bit of stability. The greeting is heat embossed in Brutus Monroe Gilded Embossing Powder. For a background I embossed the Simon Says Stamp Snowflake Visions Embossing Folder with a piece of Spellbinders Glacier 100lb Card Stock. It’s adhered to a card base of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. The names and greeting are adhered with a mix of Simon Says Stamp Big Momma Foam Tape and Bearly Arts Glue. We always need a little sparkle and for today I added Simon Says Stamp Embellishment Mix Gilded Sequins.
I love the sled and the bright pop of the red bird!
I also love a simple stamp layering set! It makes bringing the images to life a lot easier! I hope that you liked today’s card and I thank you so much for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of your Monday! 🙂
