A Deer Christmas and Birthday

This is a stamp set I would not have purchased for myself but since it was give to me as a gift I had to use it.  I looked at it and looked at it and finally my son said to me "what is your problem" and I told him he looked at me laughed and said "add a red nose".  Light Bulb Moment!  The stamp said I am referring to is SU's  Remembering Christmas and JoAnne Hewins was the friend who gave it to me.  So I came up with a Christmas version and a Birthday version.  I have to say this set grew on me and thanks Rob for the red nose idea.

Chevron Design with DSP

My friend Pam told me about this and I tries it.  Had some trouble getting it right but once it was done I was very happy with it.

September Woo Hoo Stampers Swap

The September Swap theme is Fall.  I just got the new Chevron Punch and Walk in the Wild stamp set from Stampin' Up and I knew exactly what I was going to do.  The Chevron Punch is great for layering.  In this card I backed it up with DSP and gave it a whole different look.  I have been a Moose lover for years so this stamp set was perfect for me and I had to use it.  The swap card for the group says Happy Thanksgiving and not Happy Birthday, I always make a few extra for different occasions and this make a great masculine Birthday card.

Sept Southern Belles Swap

I wanted to do something different so I played around with paper and folds and came up with this card.  Closed it measures 5 1/2 X 3 inches but when open it is a regular sized card.  I scored it at 3, 4 3/8, 5 3/4, 7 1/8,  The first fold is a mountain and just go on.  This is a Christmas version and for my September class I did a Birthday version.

Christmas Bling

I wasn't sure I would like the new Silver Foil Paper from Stampin' Up but I do have to say I love it.  It is a sturdy cardstock and takes well to the embossing folder.  This card has a lot of bling and you don't see it in the picture.  The silver foil paper looks like an engraved mirror.  The silver glitter paper, the snowflake stamped in silver metallic ink and the embellishment add all the more bling to the card.  I really like it.
