This card is designed similar to the VERY FIRST card I ever mad, way back in March of this year. It was at a stamping class at Blair's. The card we made looked like this so I decided to change it up a bit, using a different sentiment and colours. This is the first time I have used Taken With Teal and I really like it!!

Paper: Taken With Teal, Whisper White
Ink: Taken With Teal, Rose Red, Orchid Opulence, Pink Passion and Summer Sun

Here is the first of what I'm sure will be many Christmas card designs for 2009. This is the one that I am advertising and selling to friends and co-workers, anyway. I saw this design on Blair's blog but didn't have any of the stamp sets to make it so I improvised. I like how it turned out!

To make this card I used:

Paper: Whisper White (SU), Bashful Blue (SU), Real Red (SU)
Ink: Basic Black (SU), Real Red (SU)
Stamps: Four The Holidays (SU), Polka Dot Punches (SU), Holiday Lineup (SU)
Accessories: scallop punch (SU), corner rounder punch, Stampin Up Markers

This is one of my favourite cards I've made so far. I'm going to start showcasing them here, in a blog, rather than clog everyone's email boxes every time I create a card. I think it is safe to say I am obsessed with card making. It's surprising to me how much I like it, given that I never took to scrapbooking at all. I think what I enjoy the most about making cards is that I can take my supplies out, sit down, make a card in under a 1/2 hour and then put everything away. The time committement isn't there like it would be with scrapbooking.

This card was fairly simple to make:

Stamps: Polka Dot Punches (SU)
Ink: Basic Black (SU)
Paper: Certainly Celery (SU), Whisper White (SU), Black (generic), Yellow (generic), Delicate Dots (DSP SU)
Accessories: Blad brads (generic), Pastel colours (SU), Yellow Ribbon (Martha Stewart), Chit Chat Rub Ons (SU)
