Elegant Reindeer

I am so excited to show this card to you guys today! I love diagonals so when I saw the sketches for the Midnight Madness challenge I was like a kid in a candy store!



The colors (ivory, black and one accent color) came from Carla's color challenge at stampTV and they really add the elegant effect.
I used Cuttlebug's candy cane stripes embossing folder on the panels to add even more diagonal dimension. The stamp is from Layers of Love, Reindeer Waltz -- this set has the most beautiful reindeer images -- see them here. I heat embossed the reindeer in black on this glossy ivory cardstock and he is so very shiny! Added a little poinsettia embellie and it's done!

Enjoy your day,
Betty

Urns

I've been busy this weekend helping my daughter make curtains for her apartment so I'm posting a card that I made a while back and never posted. I've used the stamp set "Her Majesty's Urns" from Layers of Love. This set has eight different decorative urns -- so pretty! Stamped the urns on a "speckled" piece of dp that gave them an interesting look. The ribbon along the top and bottom edge is from Michael's. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Christmas Tag

Here's my entry for Giovana's Christmas challenge at StampTV to make Christmas Tags. This one was cut with the Top Note die made by Sizzix for Stampin' Up and Nestabilities Ribbon Tags Trio die. The stamp is from Stampin' Up too, but I'm not sure of the name of the stamp set.
I also made a card with a Christmas theme yesterday for the sketch challenge over at StampTV. The stamp is from Layers of Love, "Reindeer Waltz", the dp and card stock from Stampin' Up. Why am I thinking Christmas when the heat index is over 100 degrees F. here in Texas???
