a lot like Christmas!!! WHEW! I spent 16 hours Christmas shopping yesterday with a friend and I have to say it was a wonderful day!! I am still smilin' from all the fun we had!! And, I was able to put a dent in my Christmas list - a small one, but hey, that just means I need to do another day!! Great fun, I just love this time of year!!! So, in keeping with my mood, I am sharing another Christmas card with you all today - loved all the bling I was playing with from yesterday and so I made another card with more bling :-) I love this
Cardinal stamp - it is one of the prettiest stamps I have, I just think it is very elegant! The set is called
Cardinal Christmas, isn't that bird fabulous??!!! I enjoy coloring him in with my
stampin' write markers, he is just so fun to color! I used traditional colors on this one - reds and greens all th way but with a splash of gray that I love! I kept the card simple because I wanted the focuse on the image - I stamped him in
Black Stazon, colored him in with
Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, and Early Espresso stampin' write markers, and then ran the whole piece of
Whisper White card stock through my
Big Shot using the
Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder - love it!! The sentiment is stamped on
Old Olive card stock and is punched out using the
Fancy Label punch. I then added some of the
fine red glitter using my
two-way glue pen under the words and also on the berries on the branches! I have to say, this was a fun card to make - I love getting all glittery, LOL! I am leaving the recipe of everything I used below so if there is something here that catches your eye and you HAVE to have it, you can order it in
my online store! Have questions?? Feel free to
email me and I will get back to you with an answer :-) Today I am working on some more cards for my workshop on Saturday and then my Stamp-a-Stack on Sunday so lots of stamping fun for me today!! I hope you are all having as wonderful a week as I am!! I will be back tomorrow with more to share- until then, Happy Stampin'!!

Such a beautiful card you've created!
So pretty Alex. Love the polka dots. You are a shopping machine!
Love that bird, I used to have it and got rid of it, groan! We haven't had snow yet so it doesn't look much like Christmas around here!
