CAS Snowflakes

I had a little time before work this morning and was able to play along with this weeks CAS challenge on SCS (splitcoaststampers) which was to make a holiday card.  I have been focusing on my Christmas cards and actually yesterday, I sat and addressed all my envelopes.  I don't have all my cards made yet, but the envelopes are ready, lol!  I find that addressing the envelopes takes longer than writing the cards, so I figure I am ahead of the game so far.  I hope to have all my cards made by this weekend and sent out by the beginning of December.  That will be a first if it happens!!  A girl can dream right?

Anyway, I have been stuck on snowflakes lately, so this was easy as my snowflake punches were sitting on my desk.  I now want to mass produce this and make it my Christmas card for this year.  The only problem is what to do with the other 25 that I have made so far, lol!!! 

I punched 2 large snowflakes and 1 small snowflake out of spring moss cs and popped them up.  I added a little pearl to the center and stamped my sentiment in smokey shadow ink.  Rounded the 2 bottom corners and that was it!  Clean and simple!  I think I will be making this in lots of different colors.

Hoot Hoot!!

Wow, it has been over a month since I posted anything on my blog!!  Shame on me!  It's not that I haven't been creating, I just don't seem to have had much time for blogging them.  I can't believe it is almost September already!!  Both my boys have started college (one's a freshman and the other is a senior) and my daughter will be a senior in high school next week!  Ugh, I feel old, lol!!

Anyhoo, I have a super simple little card to share that I just made.  I am rather obsessed with washi tape at the moment and have a ton of it.  Seriously, I think I could lay all my washi tape out and reach from Virginia to California.  It's a sickness really, ha!  Isn't that little owl washi tape just adorable??  I created the little dots using my pearl pens and the sentiment from Papertrey Inks Wise Owl set was just perfect for this cute little card!

 

supplies:

various washi tapes, sentiment by PTI Wise Owl

aqua mist ink, twine, pearl pen

 

Enjoy the rest of your day :)

Summer Card Camp 2 Thanks Card

I'm back with another quick CAS card from the online summer card camp 2 class.  On Saturday there were some bonus color combo's to choose from and I chose the yellow, pale pink, brown, white and black combo.  I left off the black.  I also used a sketch from the first day of class by Jennifer McGuire.  There is no stamping on my card today.  I used a die cut from memory box.  This came together pretty quick and I will be using this sketch again and again! 

I had one of my dearest friends come and visit this weekend whom I haven't seen in over 22 years, so I didn't have any time to play.  We were too busy yapping and catching up, lol!  It was awesome!!!!

Anyway, here is my card:
