Christmas Poinsettia Card

Hi Everyone,

Here is a card that I made using Papertrey Ink's Sunflower stamps and dies. The idea of using the sunflower stamp with red ink to make a poinsettia was posted on the Papertrey forum, and I couldn't believe what a great idea it was. So this one could be a keeper. I used the leaf from Papertrey's Delightful Dahlia stamp set. The Merry Christmas stamp is from a Web site that is no longer in business.

Fall Sunflower Card

Hi Everyone,

I just love this sunflower stamp from Papertrey Ink. I recently saw it stamped in red and used as a poinsettia--what a great idea! In the meantime, enjoy our great fall weather and beautiful scenery.

Two Christmas Bells

Hi Everyone,

Here are several cards using the Bells and Boughs stamp set from Papertrey Ink. I discovered that it's easier to cut the bells out on cardstock, then use the outlining stamp on the bell. When I was using the fill stamp for the bells, the stamping was often uneven. This seems to work okay. I used white Craft ink for the darker images. The only thing about working with Craft ink is that it takes a few minutes to dry before you can move it.

Three Christmas Bells

Hi Everyone,

This is a card using the new Bells and Boughs stamp set and dies from Papertrey Ink. Not only are they great for making Christmas cards, but they have lots of ideas on their Web site. This is one that I cased from Maille Belles' site. She has a few that I'm planning on casing--or recreating--whatever.
