Ready to get started on this year’s stash of Christmas cards?  Today’s cute pickup truck Christmas card is ready to deliver holiday cheer!  Welcome to Festive Friday, where we are celebrating Parent’s Day with a Watercolor twist!  I went with the twist.

pickup truck Christmas cardI am so happy Stampin’ Up! came out with a new pickup truck set.  Ride with Me is an adorable set, complete with pumpkins, balloons, and a tree to haul in the back.  It includes sentiments for birthdays, encouragement, fall, and Christmas, making it a very versatile set. Because I need to get started on my holiday cards, I opted to create a Christmas card. I hope you enjoy it!

Colors of the Day
pickup truck Christmas cardThe Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Stampin’ Blends are our friends! I used the Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend to create the frosty winter sky.  Dark Real Red shaded with Dark Smoky Slate was used for the truck. Light Balmy Blue was used for the window, and of course, Dark Basic Black is the perfect color for the tires. As for the tree, what could be better than Light and Dark Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends?

Sailboat Card for Challenge for PP449

, , , , ,
Comments: 7

Ready for a clean sailboat card in patriotic colors? Here’s one for you! It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

sailboat cardThis week Laurie is hosting a theme challenge for us:  Water Sports.  Water Sports encompass so many activities, but I opted to create a serene scene featuring sailboats.  I love the look of sailboats on the water. It’s so relaxing to just sit and watch them from the shore.  Enjoy today’s card!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Today’s card features the Lilypad Lake stamp set.  The water was stamped in Balmy Blue, while the sailboats were colored with Real Red and Night of Navy Stampin’ Write Markers.  Daffodil Delight, with a smidge of Pumpkin Pie, was sponged on for the sun.

sailboat cardAlthough it does not show up well in the picture, the new High Seas 3D embossing folder provides the perfect background.  The sentiment, from A Good Man, really seemed to fit the scene.

Brody

Many of you have emailed to ask about Brody.  Here he is resting up after playing with GQ and Jackie this afternoon.  He is doing great! He saw the vet Tuesday, and she was amazed at his condition. He continues to tolerate his piroxicam and his special protocol of Tagamet and Benedryl, both of which are used to treat his bladder cancer .  Every extra day we have with him is a blessing!

As always, if you have any questions, I am only an email away!
