Your a Classic


Cornish Heritage Farms came out with the neatest Silhouette Train Stamp Set...it brings you back to a simpler time! Paper used on this card is from BoBunny. The verse You're a Classic is also from a Cornish Heritage Farms set. What a nice card for a guy! (or a girl like me who LOVES trains!)

PEACE * LOVE * JOY


Doreen did this card in traditional fashion to my delight!! There's nothing better than the reds and greens of Christmas. She used Cuttlebug's Winter Trees Embossing folder on white paper and distressed it with Shabby Shutters Distress Ink. The stamp Peace * Love * Joy was stamped with Versafine Olympia Green and is from Penny Black. Paper on the bottom of the card is Christmas Past Collection from Graphic 45.

The striped ribbon from May Arts adds a snappy little touch. Spellbinders Labels Trio was used to cut out a window for the greeting...HOW CUTE IS THAT!

From Our House to Yours

Our new American Crafts paper is the base for this Christmas card. The beautiful country scene is a wood stamp from Penny Black called treescape. The verse from our house to yours is from Amuse. Doreen colored with Copic Markers, and added Prisma Glitter with a glue pen. She then added ribbon and a button (both from American Crafts) Doesn't it make you feel like your driving down that road when you look at it!!
