Sentiment Christmas Cards

Today I am posting 4 cards for a SCS Challenge by Misti Monday.  The theme this month is to make a card that you would put with a gift.  I make cards for our church every year and I think sentiment stamps are perfect for Christmas cards.  I think any of these can be used with a gift!

I first picked a new 6x6 package of Stampin' Up Designer Series Paper called Santa's Express to use on all of the cards. Each of the stamps is an unmounted rubber stamp that I used my Misti to ink up.  I always use my Misti for stamping as I am sure to get full coverage on my images--especially with sentiment stamps!  I then die cut each of the stamped sentiments and layered with coordinating cardstock.  Some of the cards have Concord & 9th enamel dots and two have some green satin ribbon.

For this card, I used a Funny Bones stamp from Riley & Company called Dear Santa.  The die is from Gina Marie Designs called Pierced Chain Round Rectangles.  I added the green enamel dots for the final touch!

 

For my second card, I used an older stamp from Touché Rubber Stamps called Beautiful Celebration.  The die is a Rubbernecker called Nested Scalloped Ovals.  I added the green enamel dots and the green satin ribbon as a banner for the final touch!

 

For my third card, I picked a favorite stamp called Peace & Joy from Unity Stamp Company-Itty Bitty.  The die is a Stitched Rectangle from Gina Marie Designs.  I added the green enamel dots and the green satin ribbon for the final touch!

 

For the final card, I went with another Touché Rubber Stamp called In Your Heart.  The frames are from a Taylored Expressions Frame in Frame Cutting Plate.  I added the green satin bow for the final touch!

I hope you like my sentiment Christmas Cards and I am sure the people at church that buy them for a donation to our Building and Grounds Mission Team like them too!

No Coffee?

This is my April card for the monthly themed swap that Terry is hosting on SCS. Each month she will post a theme and we make cards using any stamp set we believe follows that thought. This is our 59th month and the theme for April  is "Coffee, Chocolate, Cravings".  

I went with a fun, older stamp from the Funny Bone Collection of Riley & Company called Depresso!   I die cut the sentiment and the layer behind from my  Gina Marie Designs Stitched Square Dies.  I picked a fun coffee bean patterned paper from the Moxie Cup O Java Perfect Blend Line.  I added a strip of Stampin' Up Early Espresso Grosgrain Ribbon and a coffee cup brad.  I think this is a fun card.

Here is the inside of my card:

I hope Terry and the others swappers like my card this month too! Terry has already posted the May theme and the ones for the rest of the year.  Be sure to come back in to see what we create!

Dear Algebra

This card is for a Mystery Swap on SCS. A group of us are doing a bi-monthly swap where we all use the same mystery image, sent to us by the hostess. This swap was created by Forest Ranger—Jeanette and we are now in our second cycle.   Darlene is the hostess this month and she picked a hilarious Riley sentiment.   Darlene will swap the cards--then send us the next image,  which Linda is going to sent to her.  I can't wait to get the swap cards back to see how everyone else used the same sentiment. Then everyone gets to do it all over again!   

I just laugh out loud every time I look at this card.  I thought it would be perfect us use some "math" type patterned paper--this is called Geometry!

I hope everyone who gets my card likes my card!

This is one of two cards I made for Deena's Card Mix swap on SCS.  We could use any stamps for any occasion.  I inked up two Riley Funny Bones stamps--the second card is to be posted tomorrow.  As far as the title of my post--I thought of my SCS friend Tami while making my card.  I am not sure if she has a bat or not--but I know she loves to sing and has mentioned bringing a bat in the past...............................  Just sayin'
