Merry Christmas from Canada(take 2)

Greetings!  I’m back with another set of Christmas cards for a colleague.  She saw the set I made HERE for another fellow colleague and wanted her own set for some out of country friends visiting at Christmas.  We made a couple of element changes, but the layout is the same.  I sure love making these :)  That red maple leaf sure jumps out from the white snowflakes and background!  Here’s the complete set…

Now I need to get on to MY Christmas cards!  LOL  I may be making myself a set of these :)  Have a great day and thanks for visiting!

Merry Christmas (from Canada!)

Hello friends!  Today’s card is one of a set of seven cards I made for a coworker this week.  A few months back, she saw THIS card and wondered if I could make a similar card for Christmas x7.

  She’s sending them to family outside of Canada so loved the homage to Canada (the sweet maple leaf behind the poinsettias).  I made sure to make them up as soon as I had the time and before report card season (next month).  She got them yesterday and was quite delighted :)  Here’s the whole set…

Though there’s a layer of die cuts, some sequins, and twine, they are fairly flat and I think they’ll be fine in the mail with standard shipping rates :)  Thanks for stopping by!  Come back tomorrow with some more new Verve!

The Beauty and Joy of Each Day

Happy Friday everyone! I had another request for a custom made card for a retired colleague’s daughter.  Though I’m still taking one last course and teaching full time, I couldn’t say no.  I always feel so honoured when someone asks me to make a card for a special occasion in his/her life.  This card is for my friend’s daughter’s 30th birthday.  I didn’t take a picture of the inside, but it has a “30” cut out in gold foil and then “amazing years” stamped in black ink.  I’m using the fabulous sketch from Stacey over on the Viva La Verve sketch blog.  Check out some more samples and then join in the fun!  Have a great weekend!
