Christmas embossing

 I actually got my Christmas cards done early this month.  Our challenge with my stamp group was to use embossing folders. My first card also works for the Just us girls Spotlight challenge

• Darice - Mosaic Candle embossing folder, colored with markers
• Spellbinders - A2 matting basics A die
• Hobby Lobby - Country tags

• Fun Stampers Journey - Cozy knit embossing folder, inking around edges
• Paper Studio - 3D Snowman sticker
• Spellbinders - Big Scalloped oval small die
• Diamond Press - Vintage Christmas sentiment stamp, fussy cut and inked

This last one was inspired by the last two cards I will show that I had done before the challenge was posted.

• Darice - Hanging Ornament embossing folder, colored w/ Spectrum Metallic markers
• Hobby Lobby - Country tags

This is a scratch art card kit. I bought it at Michaels on sale before Christmas. It comes black with white outline and you have a wooden stick with a point that you scratch off the white part and what is inside.  I think I like the diamond dotz better.

Sealed

 Using my sealed dies and stamps for another sympathy card I needed.  After stamping the seal I added some Nuvo crystal glaze to give it that seal look. I cut all the flowers and faux string from scraps and inked them.

Northwoods

 Today I am sharing in the Neglected stuff Challenge for my next masculine birthday card. I just don't use my rubber stamps on blocks as much anymore.  I took the stamp off the wood block so I could use it in the Misti stamping platform. I colored it with markers and fussy cut it out. I added some die cut leaves to it and a stamped sentiment I don't think I have used before.

• Northwoods Rubber stamps - 2007 colored w/markers
• BasicGrey - Periphery Paper
• Hero Arts - Birthday messages stamp set
• Impression Obsession - Grass die

Get well

 I turned to one of my stamp sets that came with a British card making magazine for this get well card I needed.  I had to stamp the trellis twice to have it go the length of the card it is actually just a square stamp. The bee, trellis and sentiment all stamped directly on card base. I colored the flowers and then fussy cut them and popped them up on top of the trellis.  The sentiment also came in this stamp set.

Preteen birthday

 I recently used this die for my hubby's coworker who loves gaming but this time it went to a preteen boy who also loves games on the computer and video hand held games.  I actually used the sentiment die that comes with it also. I used another piece of the wood veneer cardstock I bought from Amazon to look like it is sitting on a wood table. I colored in the controls with metallic markers.

• Spellbinders - You've got game dies
• Cardstock warehouse - Wood Veneer Cherry collection card stock
• We R Memory keepers - For the Record paper

I would like to share today's card with the Word Power Challenge
