Before the holidays are too far behind, I wanted to share two lovely cards that were sent to me by fellow stampers. The first is from a wonderful woman by the name of Elaine who frequents my blog. Her card is simply stunning and it honestly takes your breath away in real life. Oh Elaine, I received your card!! If you could leave a comment and give us all the deets on this lovely creation – I’m sure many would appreciate it.
The second card is from my dear friend Janine at 2bKrafty. This tree is so gorgeous and sparkly! I didn’t realize it, but I have that Penny Black stamp in my stash and I’ve never made it look as fabulous as this.
Thank you ladies!!! I was only to happy to find a home for these lovely cards!
Beautiful, I also would love to know how she made the first one, that is so elegant!! Both are just lovely and it’s so much fun to receive cards and get new ideas. Thanks for sharing those!!
Both cards are stunning. I love them both.
Both cards are beautiful. I’ll be watching to see about the deets on that first card. Have a GREAT week!
Becca,

Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

What lovely cards!! TFS
You are one blessed crafter, getting cards like those from friends. And you are so right about the tree! I was never able to make it look like that…until I saw this card!
What talented ladies!
The cards are amazing. I am curious about the tree ornaments.
What was used.
I’m so glad that I found this site.
Wow! Gorgeous cards!!!! TFS :)

Well my goodness! I was so surprised to see my card on your blog! You asked for the deets – they are embarrassingly simple – they had to be for as many as I needed to send out.
The card is 5″ X 7″.
The background was from “Love to Stamp” – it’s a large frame that I’d had for ages but hadn’t known what to do with it. The center stamp is from Inkadinkado.
Both were stamped with VersaMark and embossed in Detail Gold ep on Sandstone Sparkles-Crushed Leaf Cover stock from Paper Zone.
The center stamp was mounted on black glossy and then mounted on the frame stamp. The card portion was a gold sparkle paper also from Paper Zone. They make so many different color choices – I used a green, blue, red and gold (but all were heavily starkled in gold) to put some variety in the cards going out.
And that’s it – very very simple.
I am so blessed that you enjoyed it
Hugs – Elaine
just beautiful

Truly exquisite!
Thank you for the details Elaine; it’s one of the loveliest cards I have ever seen.

Thanks for sharing these, Becca. Elaine – what a tremendous card! Both the frame and image stamp go together so well – such an elegant card. Happy New Year to you both! Kris, Wadsworth, OH
These are gorgeous cards and very talented ladies. Thanks for sharing these wonderful creations with us! Wow, ladies I bet they are even more fabulous in real life!
No wonder you were thrilled – beautiful!

Both cards are stunning but so very different in style and technique. Both these ladies should be extremely proud of their work.
I am so sad. Alas, the stunning cards are not showing up on my computer. How will I sleep tonight?
Ditto, I can’t view the cards either, bummers.
