Just Beclause- November swap from Marisa

Is this the coolest card or what? This is a swap from the ever talented Marisa H. -Janet's sister and what a dynamic duo they make!

It's made with the Just Beclause set from the current mini and I love all the details on the card. You can find Marisa's gallery under "mh1016" on Splitcoast here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=33619
She has really adorable punched animals- leave her some love on the comments.



She used a basic small grommet hardware to accent the date in silver which adds sparkle.

This is the front base of the easel card she made and the card is propped up behind the little circles that are mounted on dimensionals.

And this is how it looks from the side. She makes really classic, clean and balanced cards that I adore.

I will be sending out easel cards for my holiday greeting this year so I better get cracking!

Count down to Christmas: 26 days!

November Swap from Janet

There are people that you meet and see a facet of them and then you learn more about them and realize what a gem that person is and make you want to get to know more about that person.

Janet Pulskamp is one of them. When I was invited to joint the local stamping group my friend Diedre said -" there is a doctor in the group!"' and then I saw that it was Janet whom I have met through local women's medical group but never realized what a talent she has. She always has such clean styling and balance, you can recognize instantly that it has the "Janet touch".

I received this swap at the last stamp n chat and she's given me permission to post it here for you all- and you know that I will be casing this totally for one of my stamping workshops- Actually, you can't say case if you are not changing anything, can you?.(lol)... all right I will be replicating it! (as a Star Trek fan would say...)

Love the color scheme! Love love love the slit punch detail at the top! This is one of my favorite sets from the mini Wandering Words and hope to be using it for my own valentine cards so thank you Janet for another beautiful card idea!

Deer Friends swap Card

I got this card as a swap at convention- it is so Christmassy (sp?) so I thought I'd share it with you- the original creator did not have a name sticker on it so I can't credit it but it is done with artichoke cardstock stamped with the circles from Priceless in artichoke and sparkle in night of navy and little crystal blings added to the edges. Take a strip of navy and then vellum stamped I believe with white stazon- snowflake source unknown- then real red 1 3/8" circle then stamp snowman after using black, orange and red markers to color in.


















I think the snowman circle must have been run into a stickermaker to get an even coating of adhesive then sprinkled with dazzling diamonds. It is really pretty IRL.

My kids are already counting down to when Santa is coming- Is there an advent calendar going out 40 days?
