I of course went to my favorite stamp store "Door County Rubber Stamp and Scrapbooking" (check out their Facebook page). I picked up a few of the new Northwoods stamps and this cutie was one of my favorites.
We have the Elf on the Shelf so when I saw the cloths line of elf cloths I just had to have it! The "Welcome Winter" and "Christmas is on the way" are just misc. stamps I had laying around. Not having all my tools readily available seems to keep giving me challenges to create cards with next to nothing. Both cards have 1 layer and that's the sentiment. I used Recollections 110 lb white card stock. First I stamped the image, then using my scoreboard I scored a top and bottom border of 2 lines 1/8" apart and then went over those lines with a glitter gel pen in red. The cloths were colored with the glitter gel pens as well for instant sparkle. I then proceeded to score lines on both cards making each different by switching the direction. Can the left have lines 1/2" apart while diagonal is 1/4" apart. I thought they made really cute simple cards and I'm definitely going to bring these for our group to make.
Well I made a few more cards while I was up there and I'll be posting those later after they are unpacked and I get some pictures. All were done with my limited supplies so as you can see you don't need alot to start card making but I guarantee once you start.......your supply stash WILL GROW!!! I really need to work on a system of carting more tools up with me on my extended stays at the cabin. Or..............maybe I just need more tools that I can leave up there???? Hmmmmmmm.....wonder what Hubby would think! LOL
Until next time.......
HAPPY CARDING!
