Today I have a very quick duo of no stamp cards, but first let’s address the winner from last Saturday’s Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style.  Last Saturday we focused on holiday decor items and had fun with it.  The winner was selected this week from my blog, and the winner chosen by Random.org was #56, who is

Sheila from Texas

I really love to make quick, no stamp cards.  And that’s just what I did today.

I used sheets from Bo Bunny’s Father Christmas 6×6 pad and let them act as my focal image.  I added some ribbon, roses and rhinestones — done!

These cards are made 6.5 x 4.75″ to fit perfectly into an A6 Clear Box, which is how I will both store and present them.  The focal image panels are 6 x 4.25″.

This card uses 1/2″ Wrinkled Ribbon in Burgundy.

Both cards use Prima Avon Roses — not sure which packs as mine are opened and all mixed up.  They are all beautiful in rich tones, beautifully gilded.

This card uses 1.25″ Silk Ribbon in Burgundy.

Bows on both cards are made with the Original Bow Easy.

Deb made these darling bookmarks for gifts.  HAD to share them — using Prima’s Trinket Flowers and the Striped Twill on this one.  See Deb’s full post with more bookmarks here.

All items used are available at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store, as linked above.

My Christmas Cards

I’ve had to make some decisions on mailing Christmas cards this year.  We ordered 5×7 photo collage cards with our family photos from the summer wedding.  So due to packaging issues with the larger photo cards most people will not be getting a hand made card.  My cards will be inserted into gift baskets and bags for those who live near us and to those where we hand deliver.  So what this means is that I have a lot more cards this year than I will use.  They are all neatly packaged so they will keep for next year, but I have listed many for sale in the event anyone out there needs a few cards yet.  I KNOW 99.9% of you reading my blog and visiting my store make your own cards rather than purchase them already done, but I do get frequent requests to sell my cards, so once they are here I thought I’d list them.
