Santa Thinks You're the Best
I always like to share my little 3 x 3 thank you cards I make for my monthly workshops. Even though we didn't have an official workshop in November since we just gathered together to make our own Christmas Cards, there were still some shoppers. Thank you ladies! You know who you are.
So here's the cute little card I made. Since we were making Christmas Cards, I figured Santa was the perfect character for the card fronts.
Recipe -
Real Red - 6" x 3", scored and folded at 3"
Whisper White - 2 7/8" x 2 7/8" (times two)
Stamps: Santa's Suit
Ink: Memento Black and Real Red
Pen: Ivory Stampin' Blend
Here you can see where I colored Santa's head, hands and feet with the Ivory Stampin' Blends.
Thank you for looking in today. Be sure to check out this great little stamp set. It is just so much fun!
Happy Thanksgiving Eve... it's Pie Making Day!

Peppermint Hug in a Mug
Did you buy anything fun from the 24-hour sale?? While those deals are gone, there are still plenty more to be had during the week, so be sure to check them out and get them while you can. Check the list here - Online Extravaganza.
Something I noticed was that the Watercolor Pencils are on the list, don't let those get away from you. I know I'm planning to get another set before they are all gone!
Now, on to today's card:
As I sit here sipping my hot cocoa and posting this card, I think how perfect a nice cup of cocoa can be! It's actually been too warm to even consider a hot drink around here, except in the morning and now, tonight there's a bit of cool coming through the window, under my desk and onto my legs!
Recipe:
Crumb Cake - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Real Red - 5 1/4" x 4"
Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
Real Red - 4 1/8" x 2 7/8"
Whisper White - 4" x 2 3/4"
Stamps: Hug in a Mug
Ink: Memento Black, Crumb Cake, Real Red, Early Espresso, Chocolate Chip
Tip: When stamping the "whipped cream" on top of the coffee, I inked it with Crumb Cake and then stamped off once. Since the stamps are Photopolymer - they are completely clear and so easy to line up the stamps perfectly.
The top two layers (Real Red and Whisper White) are popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Thank you for looking in today! This is my last day at the office until next Monday. I love Thanksgiving week! Taking an extra day on Wednesday to make pies and dessert for Turkey Day. Yum!
Happy Tuesday!

Life's Big Question
So, yesterday at the office apparently there was a run on birthdays. Thankfully I had some cards to come to the rescue, but then I realized, I really need to increase my stock, so here's one I made to add to the others.
Do you love it when you can take a seasonal stamp and use it for something else altogether? I sure do, so that's what I did here. Mostly because I wanted to color this pretty dress again with my Stampin' Blends, but also so I could show you how easy it is to throw together two unrelated stamp sets and they work just like you hoped!
Recipe:
Whisper White Thick Cardstock - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper (DSP) - 5 1/4" x 4" (plus a small package cut out from the back of the same sheet I used)
Whisper White - 3 1/2" x 2 1/2"
Early Espresso 3 3/4" x 2 3/4"
Whisper White - 3 3/4" x 1"
Early Espresso - 3 7/8" x 1 1/8"
Stamps:
Christmas in the Making
Five for All
Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento
Stampin' Blends: Daffodil Delight (dark and Light), Bronze and Ivory
Add a Pearl over the holly leaves and berries, then cover the ornament with a small package cut out from Birthday Memories and you have yourself a Birthday Card!
Thank you for looking in today - Thank GOODNESS it's Friday!
