Creative Challenge #2: Creative Scallops

Today's Creative Clear Stamps Challenge this week is all about Creative Scallops!   Remember when everyone was using the slit punch to create scallops by taking the bracket off the bottom and lining it up? :o) Let me tell you....I enjoy the convenience of scallop punches, absolutely no guess work!

For this card, I used the stamp set Turkey Day and stamped the turkey twice and popped up the body of this little turkey on dimensionals.   I am trying to make more of a concerted effort to do the inside of my cards....so here she goes... :o)

Sorry for the slight glare on this one...  For the inside, I used the turkey track stamp from Gone Hunting, it just went so well with this turkey.  If you get a chance, we would love for you to join in our challenge at Creative Clear Stamps, you can find all of the details HERE.

My parents and brother are coming for a visit today before my brother deploys back to Afghanistan. Sure are thankful for our military and their sacrifice for our freedoms....

Have a wonderful day!
Blessings,

CCS Challenge: Creative Texture

Welcome to the first Creative Clear Stamps Challenge.  We are thrilled to be starting our own challenges each and every Monday.  We would love for you to play along and on the CCS Blog you can link up your project, we would just love to see it!   Lisa is our challenge coordinator and this week the challenge she has for us is all about Creating Texture!  One of my favorite ways to create texture is none other than using my Cuttlebug and Embossing Folders! I am all about my Cuttlebug and use it to some degree for nearly every card whether using embossing folders or Nesties.

I used the stamp set Let It Snow and added texture to this card in two ways...obviously the Snowflake Embossing Folder, but  I also added some Polar White Flower Soft for snow at the feet...wait a minute, snowmen don't have feet...ummmmm, around the bottom of the snowman..that doesn't sound right either....You know what I mean! hee~hee! I think this snowman is just the cutest little thing...he is just enjoying the snow.  Each stamp in this set is just adorable and perfect for creating Christmas/winter cards.  

If you are looking for more inspiration on Creative Texture, be sure to stop by the CCS Blog as well as Linda's.
Have a great day!
Blessing,
