Santa Hat Invitation

I made 8 of these cards to use for some of our holdiday open house invitations.  I love the clean and simpleness of this card.  The sentiment is from Mark's Finest Papers set called Musical Holiday.  I may make more of these to use for some of my Christmas cards too.  I cute the Santa hat with my Cricut and the Joys of the Season cartridge.  I'm trying real hard to learn how to do more things with my Cricut. 

Here's the deets on the card:

Stamps:  Musical Holiday
Ink:  Gold
Paper:  Cherry Slush, Snow Storm Smooth, Handsome Hunter
Misc:  MS glitter, Cricut, Joys of the Season cartridge

Happy Stamping!

The Bison Run Free



The clean and simple (CAS) challenge on SCS yesterday was a sketch challenge.  This is what I came up with.  I think I'm going to make a few more to use as masculine birthday cards.  This card went together fairly quickly, and I need about 12 of them for December!  This is from the newly released set by Mark's Finest Papers called Bold and Free. 

Stamps:  Bold and Free
Ink:  Palette Noir, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, green
Misc:  ribbon

Have a wonderful evening!

Happy Stamping!
