SplitCoastStampers gave us the challenge of using a card from our saved favorites from the site and make a card today.

I have saved alot...and forgotten to look at them later.  This was a real treat.  Some I forgot about others I could not remember why I would have saved them.


The card I chose can be seen here ~  Simply Snow Swirled ~

I do love this stamp so it was an easy one to pick and use.  My card stock is white annd Always Artichoke.  I used nestabilites and the Snowflakes embossing folder in the backgrounds. 

After stamping the tree I used Glitter Dome stickers.  Then added the ribbon and bow.

The color challenge is Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler & Always Artichoke and I added Very Vanilla to it over on SplitCoastStampers.

I used the Yuletide Christmas & Snow Swirled Stamp Sets from Stampin Up!  The wreath is Always Artichoke in craft ink and then clear embossed.  Assembled then finished with a bow.

The colors for today are perfect for another Christmas card and the last one I need to make.  Real Red, Whisper White and Basic Black.  I do love these colors together.  I have in the past used them for several cards.


On this one I scored the background using the Scor-Pal.  I stamped the image from the Tags til Christmas, in red and punched it out using the Ornament Punch, and stamped the sentiment in Real Red as well.  The sentiment is from Snow Swirled stamp set.

I used a black ribbon for the black and popped a little gemstone on the ornament.  Both stamped images are mounted using dimensionals.

Hope You Can Cling To/Breast Awareness

I've done three challenges for SCS for today...they will also be part of several to be mailed and used by the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center for patients being treated for breast cancer.  Been there ~ done that.  I was diagnosised and treated for Breast Cancer in 2006.  Went through the chemo and radiation.  

The first is to make a holiday card with pink.  I picked Christmas!

I used Pretty in Pink with Certainly Celery for this card.  Snow Swirled is the stamp set I used.  I adorned it with the new jewels SU has.  I also stamped some snow flakes around it with Craft Whisper White.  The sentiment was punched with the retired key tag punch. I also used to score pal in the background.

My next we are to use lace and lingerie if possible.

I found this lace I had never opened with these nice pearls and thought it would do nicely.  I layered Whisper White, Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo card stock.  I used the stamp set by Skipping Stones Design called Bra Volume #2 and stamped it in Melon Mambo ink.

Next up use brown as you would black.  Easy I love the look of Pink and brown together.

My cardstock is Early Expresso and Pink Pirouette.  I used the Scallop Trim Punch along the bottom and added pearls.  I used the Eastern Blooms stamp set and inked it in Pink Pirouette and Early Expresso.  I applied pearls to the flower branch as well.  For the sentiment I used the Curvy Verses Stamp Set.
