Festival of Trees Card #22

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

It's Count-down time.....
This is my last day in Wisconsin.....Tomorrow I head back to Arizona!
Here's some pictures from yesterday......

It started out with meeting my daughters at Starbucks.......And my oldest daughter making these home-made yummy brownies for me.  They were amazing with my morning coffee.

Then my youngest daughter gave me this ADORABLE reindeer that was made with Twoie's foot and hand prints.

We walked over to the Nail Spa and my daughters treated me to a spa pedicure.

And these little piggies took off to go shopping........

But before we hit the stores......We stopped at Applebees for some lunch.

So continuing my everything Christmas card show-case........I have my last Festival of Trees card to share with you.   Let's jump right in with my card share for today........

I saw this card on our Stampin' Connection site (CASE from Vanessa Dymmott) and knew I wanted to CASE it for my holiday cards this year.  I used the Trim the Tree DSP Stack for a touch of Cherry Cobbler plaid on the front of my card.

I stamped my Festival of Tree images with Pink Pirouette and used Cherry Cobbler ink for my trunk and the ornament bulbs.

And I also used Cherry Cobbler for my sentiment.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you a beautiful woodgrain door card ......................Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Went by our old house........

GREAT memories at this house.

Spent some time with Jenni and her family.

So continuing my everything Christmas card show-case........I have another Festival of Trees card to share with you.   Let's jump right in with my card share for today.......

I'm seriously in LOVE with this card.......

I used the On Point Textured Impression Embossing Folder on the Early Espresso center panel.  And I also punched out a stripe of Cherry Cobbler cardstock with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch and added it to each side of my Early Espresso center panel.

I used the Trim the Tree DSP Stack to punch out my Festival of Trees punched image.

And then attached the tree to a 2-1/2" circle punch.....stamped my sentiment and added a gorgeous piece of 1" Cherry Cobbler Sheer Linen Ribbon to the circle.

 One final touch was to add a Dazzling Detail punched star and this card was complete.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you the second to last Festival of Tree card ...................... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

This card came together in a snap!

I stamped the Festival of Trees image with VersaMark ink onto Garden Green cardstock.  I then used Whisper White embossing powder to make my tree image really pop.

I added some silver bakers twine to the bottom portion of my card.......

And then punched out a Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack 2-1/2" circle to mount my embossed Festival of Trees image on to.

Festival of Trees Card #17

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

It's Count-down time.....
I have 5 more days in Wisconsin......

Here's some fun pictures of me with my Twoie Boy at Rocky's Pizza Place.

He was having so much fun playing with my mouth......

And fell in love with me whispering in his ear!

So continuing my everything Christmas card show-case........I have yet another Festival of Trees card to share with you.   Let's jump right in with my card share for today.......

This card has a Crumb Cake base that has been embossed with the stripe embossing folder.

I punched out a 2-1/2" circle and then mounted a Festival of Trees in Cherry Cobbler directly onto my Whisper White circle. 

The stripe embossing folder added an extra level of WOW FACTOR to this card.....and when paired with the Cherry Cobbler cardstock and ink......the end results are an beautiful holiday card.

And the final touch to this beautiful holiday card is stamping a little "believe" onto the Whisper White circle with Cherry Cobbler ink.

Festival of Tree Card #16

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!

It's Count-down time.....
I have 6 more days in Wisconsin......

Today, I'm continuing my everything Christmas card show-case.  I have another Festival of Trees card to share with you.   Let's jump right in with my card share for today...........

This trio of tree card is so much fun to make.

The first thing I did was run my Whisper White panel through the Big Shot using the Stars embosing folder.  And then I used the Tree punch to punch out three trees on this embossed panel.  I created a layer of Pear Pizzazz and Whisper white cardstock onto my Real Red base card.

And then I used my Dazzling Details (Gold and Cherry Cobbler) to decorate my Pear Pizzazz trees.  

To finish this card off.........I topped each of my trees off with a small piece of 1/8" Real Red taffeta ribbon.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you more holiday cards ........... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
