Merry Christmas~

Hello Stampers!

Wow!  It's been a long while since I last posted and I sincerely apologize.  I have been very busy stamping but just not enough time in a day to get everything done.  Something had to give and unfortunately it was blogging.

So, what have I been up to?  Well, hmm, the Christmas shopping is done.  My wrapping is about ninety-five percent done.  The cookie baking is ninety-five percent done.  Now I'm working on the cutest darn Gift tags.  Unfortunately they consist of non Stampin' Up! Sizzix Dies but I'm going to share any way.  I have a collection of dies that I acquired way before Stampin' Up! began carrying them and I still get those wonderful goodies as gifts from my family.  And yes, sorry to disappoint anyone of you, I do use them!  I do have a bunch of Stampin' Up! Stockings made using the Stocking Bigz Die from the Holiday Mini and I will be showing them in an upcoming post as well.  That Stocking Die is one of my favorite Stampin' Up! dies!  I had to charge the camera battery so I need to get the pics yet and prepare them for posting. 

Today's card is from my Christmas Card Club.  The last Club date was on Monday the 12th.  It was lots of fun; the group of ladies where diverse and a fun group!  I do have a Birthday Card Club forming and I will email all my local customers information about that club.  I also have some neat ideas tucked up my sleeve that I hope to unveil in 2012.

This card features the large Doily stamp.  I inked and stamped in White Craft Ink and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.  I used the Stampin' Up! Sizzlit Tags Die and the extra Large Wide Oval punch to create the tag.  This card is super easy to make but looks like a lot of fussing.  I LUV those kind of cards, don't you?

Enjoy and have a great day!
