Snowman Love card

Sometimes simple is the best way to express yourself.  This is the perfect card for the snowman lovers out there...and there is a lot of them, myself included.  I had this slightly metallic stock on hand waiting for the perfect project.  I kept the snowman in a flat stock to make it stand out more.

Sending Holiday Hugs card

What better way to deliver a hug than with an adorable little bear?  This guy is called James and he's from Lili of the Valley stamp company in the UK.  They have such adorable stamps and a great selection for every occasion.  I matched it up with the expression from Mama Elephant.  This is my favorite set of holiday expressions with such a cute font.

Congratulations Divorce card

I hope no one will take offense to this card but trust me, it was made tongue-in-cheek.  As a divorced woman, I see humor in the card and made it so someone can give to a person going through a divorce to make them smile.  Humor helps tremendously during a stressful divorce and having a friend give you a card to brighten your day means so much.  The set of the lady didn't have this saying so I liberated it from another set from Unity Stamp Co.

Relax & Enjoy card

I love when you find a versatile stamp that can be used for lots of occasions which is why I kept the inside with just a general saying pointed towards no specific holiday/occasion.  I figure it can be used for a birthday, Father's Day or for a retirement.

Ferris Wheel Snowmen card

I'm a snowman lover so when I saw this stamp with a bunch of them on a Ferris Wheel, I did not hesitate to order them.  Unfortunately the company is located in Germany so I did not receive them until after Christmas last year but I'll be sending them out this year.

Fall Kitten card

I think it's the natural reaction to humans and our furry friends to jump into a pile of leaves on a warm Fall day.  Newton's Nook has a new Fall set that I ordered yesterday but I decided to dig out the set that I got from Simon Says Stamp during Stamptember and create this shaker card.  I didn't add any wording to the front of the card.  I can add happy birthday, happy Fall, happy Thanksgiving or hello to the inside later use.

Warm Wishes Teddy Bear card

It's time to beat the rush of the holiday season and make some Christmas cards.  After all, Hallmark is already showing holiday movies and it's hot outside so working on Christmas cards has a cooling effect and is a nice way to beat the heat.  I love this little teddy bear nestled in the poinsettias.
