Stamp and then ... Die Cut and DONE! From Prickley Pear

This was a quick and wonderfully easy card to make!I used this ornament set from Prickley Pear...and then I cut out the stamped images with the custom die and I was DONE!!! Just that quick! It is so hard to make  ANYTHING quick around holiday time...so when I was able to make this card SO quickly...I knew it was going to be my Christmas card.I can make alot of them and they are flat for easy shipping! I stamped the branch that is included with the set, chose an ornament I liked and that was it.I tied the little bows with the bow easy...I added a stickles dot to the middle of the ornament for some sparkle.Thanks so much for stopping in! And please be sure to check out the Prickley Pear Store for more fun stamp sets with matching dies!

Copic Color Challenge...and ART IMPRESSIONS

I love this little cupid from ART IMPRESSIONS. He looks so determined to get the love match made! I used the color inspiration from the copic color challenge and I used SCS sketch challenge number 211. I punched out the hearts with a SU punch and then I cuttlebugged them for texture and added some darling bows that I made MYSELF (believe it or not) with the Bow Easy.Trust me, I CANNOT tie bows without using it. They are available at my friend's store... so check them out... worth every penny in my opinion! So anyway... I LOVE the way this turned out... not your typical Valentine' Day colors... but with Cupid and the hearts... I think you get the idea!!! Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check back as I will have another post today featuring my DRS 3 d item...You won't want to miss that!
