Back at Christmas cards again!



A fun day on Saturday when Ardyth, Emily and Natasha made their way up to Muskoka to spend the day with me. Always a good time with these girls. Ardyth brought her Hero Arts Holly Jolly stamp set with her at my request after I saw a card she did using it a while ago. So I stamped the holly on both white and kraft cardstock using the Hero Arts Ombre Mint green ink pad. I finally used my MISTI (with Ardyth's urging) that I have had for over three month's now. I bought it before selling/buying and moving houses so today I learned how WOW it really is. Since the end of October is now closer than the beginning it is time to get back into making Christmas cards for this year.




Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

These are gorgeous and perfect for mailing and mass producing, especially using MISTI. ;)

Two gorgeous one layer cards, Tracey! I love how you created the ombre effect with your inks...it adds so much interest to your CAS design! So glad Ardyth encouraged you to use your MISTI, and that you had so much fun stamping and playing with 'the girls'!

Jen W. said...

Okay that's it. I really NEED a MISTI and some ombre ink pads!!!!!

Lindsey said...

Oh great — another accolade for the MISTI. ;) Someday I'll cave, I know I will!
The subtle shading of the ombré ink is ideal for this style of CAS card! The clean design allows it to shine.

Kim Heggins said...

These are so beautiful...love your pretty holly and I love the way it looks on both background colors.

Jen Mitchell said...

Wow, I can't believe you've had the MISTI for that long and never tried it out! It's an amazing invention isn't it?

Joyce said...

CAS perfection. Love the beautiful and bold images. Flat for mailing and stunning with your home made touch. So, I took forever to buy the MISTI and you bought it and took forever to use it. Can't decide which of is is more rediculous!
