OWH - Penguin

Sandy gave us a challenge to send a penguin card since one of the Generals wanted them for his team.  She was worried we would all use the same penguin stamp.  No problem for me, I do not have a penguin stamp.  But my niece loves penguins, so I have had a bunch of cut out templates around and came up with this.

Cheers!

Thank you for looking.

OWH - December Daily Bread Challenge

For the Daily Bread December Challenge, what could be more manly than a guy watching TV, wearing comfy clothes and drinking a beer.  This is an Art Impressions stamp and I love them because they always make me smile.  This card is in my box to go to OWH and hopefully make someone smile . . .

Thank you for visiting.

For the his and her assignment, I knew exactly what I could do with the dies I have on hand.  Those circle dies were the best thing I ever bought.  These were fun to do making one just a little fussier than the other.  Enjoyed today's class, masculine cards are a challenge for us all.

Thank you for looking.

Online Classes - Holiday Workshop - Day Four Again!

After reading Day Four's assignment, I completely missed the boat with my other submission.  Stretch your stamps was the cry, use regular stamps for Christmas or use Christmas stamps for other cards.  Looking through the gallery, I was not the only one.  This is made with an OWH stamp set for the world.  I am having fun with the A2 curved edge die.  It can change the look of any card very quickly.

Thanks for looking.

My first thought was to combine several of the techniques today into one card.  I could not come up with several words to run down on this card, but thought the "cheer" message was so clever since Santa was holding a glass of wine.  I did try stamping a pattern through the gold embossed message, but it just did not work.  I added a stamped dash line around the edge.

The hardest part of this card, was taking the picture.  Much taller than I am used to.

Thanks for looking.

Online Classes - Holiday Workshop - Day Three

They said these were easy cards and today, I have to agree with them.  This was the fastest new technique I have ever tried.  I used thin foam on the big star and the little one for added dimension.  Fun technique, I have to remember this one . . .

Thank you for looking.

Great examples today from Jennifer McGuire and Debby Hughes.  I have a very small assortment of holiday dies and stamps.  But this die cut is all one level.  The wreath is a movers and shapers die so it was difficult to line them up for cutting, but I got it done!  However, since the center of the wreath punched as a shape, I am missing the window bars across the center. But in my eyes, it is perfect!
