To make this card I used:

Paper: Taken With Teal, Whisper White
Ink: Taken With Teal
Stamps: Lovely As A Tree, Upsy Daisy
Accessories: white ribbon, corner rounder punch, scallop border punch

I got the idea for this card from here. I used the colours and stamp sets I had on hand. Instead of brayering the background, I sponged Bashful Blue and masked the moon using a 1 3/8" circle cutout of a post it note. I then stamped the trees with Early Espresso.

To make this card I used:
Paper: Bashful Blue, Early Espresso, Whisper White
Ink: Bashful Blue, Early Espresso, Real Red
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Four The Holidays, Greeting Card Kids, Merry Chritermas
Accessories: stamp a ma jig, Stampin Up! Markers, 1 3/8" circle punch

For some reason this card reminds me of my winter coat. hahaha The design in this pattern is similar.

To make this card I used:
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Taken With Teal, Pretty In Pink, Sweet Pea DSP
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Lovely As A Tree
Accessories: Brads

I think the Old Olive and Night of Navy make this card perfect for a masculine birthday card. I used post it notes to outline the border of the stamped image for a clean border and sponged the background.

To make this card I used: (all Stampin Up!)
Paper: Night Of Navy, Old Olive, Whisper White
Ink: Night Of Navy, Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Basic Black

This is my very first crack at trying the Michelle Zindorf technique of stamping. Her stuff is artwork and I think it will take lots of practice to get as good as her. I used a sponge and a post it note torn with jagged edges to create the background and then stamped the tree using basic black.

To make this card I used:
Paper: Tempting Turquoise, Apricot Appeal, Whisper White
Ink: Apricot Appeal, Basic Black, Old Olive, Always Artichoke, Tempting Turquoise, Night Of Navy

I saw a similar design on Split Coast Stampers and decided to make this card using the stamp sets I had. The picture really doesn't do it justice, but the gold embossing looks so elegant on paper. I love it. Such a simple yet beautiful card.

I've been trying to figure out what to do with my Lovely As A Tree (SU) stamp set. I love it but was not sure how to use it on a card. I decided to do tone on tone with a simple card and a sentiment. I really like how it turned out.
