Blue Christmas - My WAY!

Today's My WAY card is a Christmas card that was created from a card I received in my inbox a couple weeks ago. I loved the idea of using Midnight Muse and Crumb Cake and knew JUST what I wanted to do.

Check it out:

I started off with the Crumb Cake base and then added a layer of Midnight Muse on which I used my Whisper White Craft Ink to sponge around the edges.

The next step was to stamp the Merry & Type image onto the Crumb Cake Cardstock. It was also sponged with Whisper White Craft Ink and then matted onto a piece of Midnight Muse Cardstock which received the same sponging treatment.

The final step was the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes and a Basic Pearl.

This card will be featured in one of my upcoming Christmas Stamp Camps. Have YOU signed up??

Christmas in June for the Stampin' Queens

What? Christmas? Well...it's hot enough out there, so thinking of Christmas might help you cool down a little bit!

Where I live, it's 42C with the humidity factored in. For my American friends, that about 108F. So yeah. It's hot! Youngest DS can't even go outside in these temps due to his cardiac condition - it's THAT bad. (the temps, his heart is repaired)

So today, you get CHRISTMAS!

I'm putting the finishing touches on a my all day stamping event which is coming up this coming Saturday (YIKES!) and this is one of the cards we'll be making:

I started off with a Very Vanilla base and then added the strip of Red Cardstock. I stamped the images from Merry and Type onto Very Vanilla using Gumball Green and Real Red Inks. These colours look GREAT together!

The images were punched out using the Postage Stamp Punch and adhered to the Real Red Strip using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped just below the image panel, using Gumball Green Ink.

Here's the sketch for you if you'd like to try it out:

And this week? There's BLOG CANDY!!!! One lucky person who plays along will get a 10-second bow maker. Check it out here.
