A day late and...well I won't finish that...LOL.  I created this card for Sharon Armstrong's Mystery Monday and I must say I like how it came out.  Not exactly monochromatic, but darned near enough...LOL I used the Cottage Rose Bundle, Annual Catalog (2022-2023) which I don't use nearly as often as I should, and colored with Stampin' Blends and added embellishments to finish the project. This card was fun for me...I love most things shiny and what could be shinier than foil and in this case, embossed foil. This card layout is very versatile and can be used for any occasion or season...birthday, thank you, Christmas, Mother's Day and so many more. Measurements: Cardbase: A2 -5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" Foil (DSP): 2 1/2" x 5 1/2" I hope you enjoy this very simple card and give it a try. Happy Stamping!

Well, another Mystery Monday Stamping with Sharon Armstrong, Independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator has come and gone and I loved this project. The layout was very simple and only a couple of steps.   A little DSP, some cardstock, a few embellishment and voilà the card is done.    For my project, I knew I needed a couple more Christmas cards so my theme was a given. I then decided on the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper out of the multiple choices I had from the current Annual and Mini Catalogs. I loved the font used on sentiments in the Christmas to Remember bundle and hadn't used it nearly as much as I wanted to so I had to incorporate that as well.  Lastly, had to add some of the die-cut elements from the Christmas Season Bundle.  Both cards are the same layout, just the reverse side of the DSP...and don't you know it...one card becomes two. Measurements of the card:  1.    Cardstock – 5 ½” x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼” 2.  Desi...
