I made these two fun Christmas cards from the stamp set Newton's Nook Designs "Holiday Wishes 

                                                             

Card One:

• Size: The top card is a 5 x 5 card stock.
• Snow Design: I used my CTMH embossing folder called Confetti and then I brushed on "Wink of Stella"clear to make it look like snow and to give it a little shine.
• Tree: With my cricut explorer I cut a Christmas tree and then I stamped the ornaments on the tree with black ink. I used WOW, HO- HO- HO embossing powder from Laura's Loft.    
• 
  
• Presents: The cute little presents are also in the package of the stamps. I also cut them out, and colored them and also added the same embossing powder. I just love the way they turned out.                                    

Card Two

• Size:  5 x 5 red card stock (same stamp set)
• Second Layer: Then some Christmas paper for the rest. 
• Stockings: I stamped the cute stockings and then colored them again with markers, I then cut them out and put black marker on the edges to stand them out more. Using the Holiday wishes stamp set again and stamped the words with black ink.
• Presents: The cute little presents where colored with markers and then cut out, then embossed with " WOW " Ho,Ho,Ho embossing powder!

I really love this stamp set Holiday Wishes, it has been a lot of fun. To find these great products and so much more please check out her at

Christmas card "Wishing you Peace on earth"

Hello crafters, I am so honored to be featured on the DT of Laurs's Loft at
www.lauralscott.com for my Christmas card.
I had so much fun making this Christmas card.
I used the stamp set called Newton's Nook, Holiday Wishes. I have used this
same stamp set to make many cards different ways.
Check out Laura's new store at www.shop.lauralscott.com. This is a 6 1/2  x 5 card. I then cut a 6 x 4 3/4 white card stock and on the embossing
folder on put on red ink from ctmh, and embossed it. I then took Wink of Stella Brush
and added it to a few places to add some shine.
On top of that I took another 4 x 3 white cardstock and stamped the ornaments with black
ctmh ink. I then colored them in using Bic markers. I then added liquid glass on them to
bring out a shinny look to them. For the words they are also on the stamp set Hoilday wishes,
I stamped them in black and red ink. They turned out so nice and clear.
To finish it off I tied a bow of gold ribbon on top.
I hope you like my Christmas card. I am pretty new at this, but this stamp set
is so much fun to use in so many ways. Also this stamp set has words in it that
I plan on using all threw the year. Thanks for stopping and looking.

Fall flowers card

I really stepped outside of my comfront zone to try and use my stamp set from

CTMH called Paper Garden, I used a 7 x 5 kraft card, and on top

of that I used a 6 1/2 x 5 1/2 white card stock. The colors I used

to stamp where also from CTMH, Honey, Autumn Terracotta, Pear, 

I had so much fun stamping and really like it. I cut a tag from my

Cricut explore, and then stamped the words on it. Any words

would go with this card I think. Hope you enjoy it as much as 

 I had fun making it. 

Art Impression, Live, Laugh,Love, card,

Here is another card made with the Live, Laugh, Love, Art Impression clear stamp set. I used a 5 1/2 x 7 kraft premade card paper, with a white card paper cut out and used  a corner punch to punch the corners out. I also used a pale pick to distress the edges and corners. I stamped the picture with black ink. Then used assorted markers to color it in. The embossing poweder Wow was used  for the words live,laugh,love, on a tag. I really enjoy  these stamps sets , they bring a little laughter on the cards and for the lucky person who will get them.

Live, Laugh Love Art Impressions, clear stamps

This is a new fun stamp set, I stamped it with black ink, then used different markers Close to my heart and Coptic markers, I am pretty new at this so I am learning what works the best. I am happy with both kinds.  I used a soft pink color for distressing the edges and tags. The inside I used a new embossing folder called confetti from CTMH , I really like it, I also used Tim Holtz mini ink blending tool. I used the soft pink ink again. The tags I made with my cricut explore. I can't wait to give this card to one of my friends.

I am new at this but here it goes.

Intro for me , I am a 54 a farm wife,and have been married for 34 years, and have six kids, and my youngest is a senior. I also have 4 grandkids, with another on the way. My family is the reason I live every day. I have worked outside the home with many jobs. but getting hurt and getting sick has grounded me and made me soul search of what I love to do and can do. I had done crafts of all kinds before I had kids, And have found my love for them again, yes lots of things have changed. I am truly excited every morning when I get up to see what I can do today. So bare with me and my learning how to blog. And my journey of my new life.
