Winter's Solstice Snowflake Christmas Card

 Hello friends,
hope everyone is having a good week!
Wow, I know I surprised myself,
LoL, 2 posts in 1 week!
I definitely will NOT get a prize for best blogger this year,
in the contrary if there is one to win for 
"You fell of the blogger wagon during the wild ride through the pandemic"
I'm probably running for first place.
Anyway, I have been busy and accomplished a few things in the 
last few month and I'm hoping to share and 
catch up with more new posts over the next few weeks.
And since we are counting down to Christmas
I would like to share our families Christmas Card
"Winter's Solstice Snowflake".
I decided to go with a red/gold and green/silver color pattern
 and a snowflake theme this year.
The cards where cut with the Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace
Die of the Month, DOMAPG-NOV19,
Amazing Paper Grace Picot Petite Circles, S5-431.
Poinsettia and greenery were cut with dies from the 
Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month, DOMAPG-NOV20. 
And for the first time I used the Foil Quill heat pen with my Cricut Air2
on one of my cards.
I have to admit it was easier then I thought.
The sentiment was hot foiled with the fine heat pen. 




I think the card came together right nicely.

I would like to take the opportunity
 to thank each and everyone of you for
sticking with me through the ups and downs of blogging.
I hope I will do better in 2021!
Thank you for stopping by.
To you and yours's
a very 
Merry Christmas!
Stay safe and healthy!

It sure has been a while!

 Hello everyone!

Wow, it sure has been a while!

It is amazing how time flies even during a pandemic. 
Sometimes I think it still should be March when our lives 
came to a screeching halt.
I sure have the feeling I been idling since then. 
Anyway, with less then 2 weeks left in this year, 
it seems there might be a little light at the end of the tunnel. 
Or one can hope!!!

So with all the craziness around us I been trying to find
 refuge in my little stamp room,
it sure helps to create something beautiful in 
a time were our world is turned upside down.
And I have to apologize, this Birthday card was made
quiet a while ago for all my family and friends who
had fall birthdays. 

I have to admit I'm in love with Amazing Paper Grace dies by Becca Feeken. 
This card was made with Amazing Paper Grace die
Splendid Trilliant (S5-426) and Antiquities Square (S5-396).  
Sentiment was stamped with the Stampin!Up Watercolor Trio stamp set, 
little flowers and leaves are a combination of punches and the Spellbinders 
small die of the month "W
arm Wishes" DOM-DEC18.
Well, what do you think?

I hope you enjoyed looking around
and come back often.
I will try to get my Christmas card posted 
sometimes this week but in the
meantime you can visit me on

Thanks for stopping by!
Stay safe and healthy!
