Cards For Holiday Gifts

I've been working on some quick cards. I'm getting ready for holiday gifts. I'm putting an assortment of cards to give as gifts this holiday. So I've been working on cards, now I just have to start creating packaging for the cards. Here's a few of the cards I've made.

Have A Great Day!
This is such an easy card. I used Elegant Eggplant for the card base. White cardstock for the card. Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Bliss Blue, Certainly Celery, Basic Black

Stamps: I used one of Stampin' Up's retired solid images (don't remember the name of the set) and a butterfly stamp.

Technique: Masking

All I did was stamp the solid images across the card in the different ink colors, masking as I go. Thenk stamped the butterflies in black ink on the colored images and stamped my saying at the top using black ink. Adhered the white card to the Elegant Eggplant card base. And that was it. Very easy card. You can use with a Birthday sentiment, Get Well and many other sentiments.

Friend Card

This card was super easy! There was no stamping, just a little inking at the top with a sponge and Bliss Blue ink pad. Everything else was from some of Stampin' Up's discontinued DS Paper and Simply Scrappin' elements. The Friend circle was popped up with dimensionals, you can't see that in the picture. And I use a black marker for the dragonfly's travel stitches (as what I call them). Easy Peasy!

Thank for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!
