Surprise!!!

Don't faint! I am actually doing 2 post in 2 days. Starting New Year commitments early. I want to share another Fall-inspired card with you today. I absolutely love the new set in the Holiday Mini called "Gently Falling", it is beautiful. It is one of our 2 step stamping sets. It is designed with an outline stamp and a filler stamp. Gives you lots of options!! This card is stamped on Natural white cardstock with Perfect Plum, Cajun Craze, and More Mustard. I used the Designer Series fabric from the fall collection instead of ribbon for the bow. Have a great day and be blessed friends.

Birthday Cards

I'm working on Birthday cards for my card keeper, so tonight I am hostessing a Stamp-a-stack making birthday cards. We are doing a masculine card, one that could be for a younger person, and a flowery more girly card. Then, as a special project we are doing a really cute candy wrapper favor. Here is the Masculine card. It is made on a Whisper White card base with a layer of DSP Nautical Expedition, and a scallop circle from the Scallop circle 2 Big Shot Die. The Ship is from the Open Sea stamp set and stamped in Not Quite Navy and punched out with the 2 1/2 circle punch. The birthday greeting is from Happiest Birthday Wishes Hostess set. This birthday wish is punched out with the scallop circle punch. Quick and simple card. Well, that's if for today. Gotta run....Be blessed by being a blessing to those around you today.

Summer is almost gone!

It's hard to believe summer is almost over. We will still have hot days here in Dixie, the dog days of summer, they call them. However, school is starting this next week and most summer activities are winding down. I have had a busy summer, this is why you haven't heard a lot from me. I have been keeping all the grands- Kelli 9, Cadie 4 and Cooper 4 mos. It has been a fun, but very tiring summer for me. I have also been working on building a Stamping In Dixie facebook page. I am still learning about all this social media and how to connect this to that and so on... It really is amazing what can be done on the computer these days. I feel really old! You may reach me anytime through email cindystamps@knology.net , facebook Stamping in Dixie, or leave a comment here. If I can help you in anyway please let me know. Blessings are new every morning!

He is Risen! He has Risen indeed!

In honor of the spiritual significance of this day, I'd like to share with you a card I cased from several people online. I love this card and the idea of making the cross from the lattice big shot die. I enjoy it when I can use a item for other things than it was maybe intended. The cross is cut from the lattice die and adhered to a piece of Whisper White. Then I sponged several colors all over the background, Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry, More Mustard and a little Cherry Cobbler. The colors don't show up very well in the picture. After sponging it I ran the background through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice embossing folder. I actually used the wrong side of that folder in order to get the little crosses instead of the square lattice. Happy Easter is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I hope you enjoy this card, but I really pray you and your family have a very blessed Easter Celebration today, because as the 1st century Christians said many years ago " He is Risen- He is Risen indeed!" 5 Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. 7 And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you.” Matthew 28:5-7
