I had trouble photographing this – the first photo I had the card taped shut, so you can see the chicken through the window. Overall gloomy day on Monday, the lighting was just never optimal.
Supplies: Stamps – Newton’s Nook, paper – Heidi Swapp, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, inks – VersaFine Onyx Black, ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens Brown (060), Carmine Red (022), Orange (070), Yellow (050), dies – Spellbinders, embossing powder – Filigree Fine Art Powder clear.
I started out thinking I would make a different size, and create my own envelopes. Alas, I did not have time to do that, I found some A10 envelopes (that were not security interior envelopes!) in my stash, and made the cards 3.75 x 9.25 inches. I glued a 4 inch pocket to the bottom of the interior to keep the money in place.
I probably will not post between now and the new year. Just too much going on.
Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! May 2020 be full of love & light!

This image and sentiment were part of my Sunday morning scavenge.
I also unearthed a scrap of pale blue mulberry paper that must be 15 years old.
Here we are, the Friday before Thanksgiving, and I still have so much to do! (and WHY did my dryer pick this week to stop working???) I don’t think I will be blogging next week – I’ll be back the first Monday in December.
If you celebrate, have a great Thanksgiving.

Someone in my husband’s family is getting married next week.
I based my color and design choices on the invitation we received. (I looked it up online – the design is available from VistaPrint.)
I used the navy, the floral theme (I don’t have roses), and the oval shape.
Stamping on dark cardstock is a lot of work! Each flower or leaf was stamped first in white, then in at least one layer of color. I would not have been able to do this without my MISTI for repeat stamping.

How many gift tags do I have left from last year??? I will need to dig them out to count them!
And yes, I know the sentiment is too low on the tag. I was struggling to get the long skinny stamp to stay straight, and I was out of time to reset it and stamp again.

I finished the paperwork I was working on for the in-laws early in the week, and even found time to stamp and color a few things before other chores took over (making a birthday cake, cleaning the house).
I am hoping that a few fun size bags of M&Ms will lure my mojo to the craft table this afternoon!
Have a great Friday!
