Sand Couple

I cased this card from Carol Seitz.  Her card was a girl with a greetings from Florida sign.  I thought the idea was great for a card for my husband for Christmas.  We live in The Villages, FL.  We love to take vacations to islands and spend time on the beach or in the water snorkeling and scuba diving.  This is our first time since moving to Florida 4 years ago that we have not gone North for Christmas.  I can't say I'm missing seeing snow and snowmen.  I do miss seeing my family though!  What do you think, will he like this card?  I hope it gives him a chuckle.  I used the new fringe scissors to make the skirt and head and waist band on the man.  I braided the fringes for the sandman.  I love the greeting I used from Christmas Messages.  I'm glad it's a carryover stamp set.  I used a retired set in the inside.  It just fit the theme so well.  The Snow Days stamp set was used to create this card.

More Christmas Cards

Here's 2 fun cards I sent to some special friends this season.

Let Me Be Your Santa Next Year

I had two customers who let family know about their Christmas wish list.  Their loved one contacted me to order Stampin' Up product from the customers' wish list and I made a special gift tag and wrapped it.  Let me be your Santa next year.  Contact me at scrapandsun@prodigy.net or through my demonstrator web site www.carrieking.stampinup.net

Nancy's Cards from Canal Street Rec Center on December 12th

Carrie's Cards from Canal Street Class December 12

This card was made with the chalk board technique.  Everyone did very well with it, even though there were many steps.  The snowman and snowflakes were stamped with white craft ink and then heat embossed with white embossing powder.  We drew a line around the border with a white pencil and then smeared some white craft ink with a cloth to give it an erased chalk board look.  The good thing about this technique is that it is very forgiving.  If your new to embossing you should give it a try! 

The second card was also a new technique for everyone.  We applied the background color with painter's tape.  Using a long piece of that blue painter's tape,  place the tape on top the ink pad, rub lightly then pick up and apply to the paper.  Again rub lightly on top the tape and remove.  Everyone's will look a little different.  We used daffodil delight, gumball green and soft suede inks.  The moose was then stamped over the background with Black Staz On ink.  

Merry Christmas 2013

These are the 2 cards I sent out this year to friends and family.  We visited Milwaukee for Thanksgiving so this is our first Christmas staying home in The Villages.  Our daughter Breanne is now living with us so we are with family as well as great friends who are like family--Kim and Lynn.  Merry Christmas to all!  See you at class at Canal Street Rec Center at 11am tomorrow.
