FS93 ~ From Our House To Yours ~

Today’s Featured Stamper is Kendra on SCS. I’m not sure my card qualifies for the challenge as I changed ALOT from Kendra’s card. I chose this card of Kendra’s. I kept her basic layout, rotated it, added petaloo flowers, changed colors and moved the sentiment.
I was determined to make a Christmas card with these colors. Once I get an idea in my head, there is no stopping! LOL…. I know they are unusual for a Christmas card, but I like ’em!
Here are the deets on my card:
Stamps: Holiday Lineup (SU!); Sentiment from Punch Pals (SU!)
Colors: Chocolate Chip, Taken With Teal, Creamy Caramel, GP White
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Copics
Accessories: velvet ribbon, oval punch, circle punch, curvy label punch, Petaloo flowers, gold cord, dimensionals, snowflake EF

I call this photo 25 invites and an aching arse.
I spent my day yesterday making these birthday party invites for my cousin’s little girl, Beilynn. Beilynn was adopted from China when she was 18 months old. She has taken our family for a joy ride. This little girl is very special and so loving. She already has my boys and all the rest of us wrapped around her little finger!
She came over the other day and told me she wanted birthday invites with a penguin on them, so naturally, I took on the challenge with zeal. Anything for this little sweety! It took me all of my Saturday to complete, but I know she will love them.
Note: I did not use any dimensionals on these cards!! Can you believe that?!
Deets on Beilynn’s Invites:
Stamps: Punch Pals (SU!); Party Punch (SU!)
Colors: Basic Black, Cool Caribbean, GP White
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Copics
Accessories: scalloped circle punch, designer label punch, circle punch, scissors, snowflake EF, snowflake die (cuttlebug); black sharpie
TFL and have a blessed day!
Holy moly!! That’s a lot of invites, & definitely something I can’t do!! I can’t make 2 of one card, much less 25!! What a wonderful thing to do for a sweet little girl ~~ & they turned out fantastic!!
GASP!!!! No dimensionals–no foam tape–no pop dots!!!!! Are you feeling okay?!? (*snicker*)
Darn cute invites!! I am sure Beilynn’s friends will be thrilled!
CUUUUTE Kendra card, too!! I REALLY like the color combo!!
BTW–I hope your butt feels better, soon! tee hee!
The invites are really cute and worth the sore “arse”! Your niece is a cutie.
