Another Easel Card

Flourishes: A Celebration of Seasons stamp set.

 I love this set because it features lovely silhouette stamps that make for an easy peasy card.

As I mentioned  earlier this week I am also loving this easel card layout. The background was dry embossed with a new Sizzix embossing folder. I wish they would stamp the names on the folders because I can never remember which ones are which.

Red Green Gold Sweet Stamps Challenge

Our challenge this week at Sweet Stamps is a color challenge: red, green and gold.

 Okay those colors speak Christmas to me, so I tried to go a bit differently and chose this beautiful Tessa (565E) stamp and paper pieced her with Authentique Wonder DP. I added the Happy Winter (8028B) sentiment. I popped her up with foam tape in the Cheery Lynn Polynesian Sails Oval (DL153) and added some Cheery Lynn Flourishes (B117). Bottom border is the Carnivale die (DL129).

I added some Candi vintage dots as embellishments.

Celebrate the Season

I just got this gorgeous silhouette stamp set from Flourishes and I could not wait to play with these awesome images.

This set is called a Celebration of Seasons.

I was out and about this weekend and judging from the traffic in my little town you would have thought it was a week before Christmas. Yes, the shopping has begun!

So I might as well get a handle on my Christmas cards.

Okay, the other obsession I have right now (yes, shopping is number one) but the other card making obsession is making easel cards.

So here you go an easel card. Keep your eyes out for more of these fun cards.

Have a great start to your week!
