CardMaker Magazine and Our Daily Bread Blog Hop

Welcome to the CardMaker Magazine and Our Daily Bread Blog Hop! We are sharing with you some lovely holiday ideas and hope that you will be inspired. 

I love pink and blue for Christmas, so I created my card based on the palette found with the ODB Christmas Paper Collection of 2014.  There is something so retro and charming about this combo, so I thought that the ornaments stamps/dies were a perfect fit. Since my husband is the Worship Leader at our church, I had to choose the Christmas Carols Sentiments - they will be just what I need for so many cards!

From here, please hop over to Dawn's blog, and see her wonderful creation!

Supplies: ODB: Christmas Carols Stamp Set; Delightful Decorations Stamp Set; Delightful Decorations Die Set; Christmas Paper Collection 2014; May Arts Ribbon; Core'dinations Cardstock

Love with Crafter's Companion

I've got a card to share with you that is another way to use the Crafter's Companion Create-a-Card dies.  I die cut the front of the card base, and sprayed the inside with Radiant Rain from ColourArte.  The sentiment was stamped on the inside of the card.

Thank You so Much

 I've got an easy thank you card to share with you.  Using the Die'sire Edge'ables sentiments really make a great statement without hard work.  I will be using this die so much after the holidays!

Wonderful Thanksgiving

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, if you are here in the States! I did! And even though it was a nice long holiday, I didn't craft any. I took a little break and just had a great time with my family. So now, I'm rested, refreshed and ready to get back to it. My sweet nephew did take some time to color this Prima turkey (and he used my new watercolor pencils before I even had a chance to use them - that's love right there!)

So from my family to yours - many blessings!
