Cards to have on hand

OK - so power is almost completely restored to the area so it's time to get back to card making. I made a bunch of cards recently for an order and it was so much fun to try some different papers and different styles and different stamp sets from TAC.

The first card uses the Rustic Chic paper and the Basic Bird stamp set. I love how the burnt umber ink looks with this paper and doesn't the bird stamp look great with it too? The simplicity of the stamp mixes so well with the richness of color and design on the paper.

The second card is on that beautiful rich navy cardstock that TAC carries. I used the circle sampler set in the circle and the running stitches stamp set to make the "stitches" on the white band.


The third card also uses the Rustic Chic paper (only $6.95 for this 36 sheet paper pack!)and one of the gift with purchase stamps that was in the fall catalog. The Spring Catalog is coming soon so all new GWPs, some double-dipped cardstock and who knows what else. So exciting! I'm quivering in anticipation. :)

The final card in this set features the Uptown Girl paper (wonderful pink and black pages - same as the Rustic Chic - 36 pages of 8X8 paper) and the Little Friends stamp set. Four darling images that show a little whimsy and bring a smile.

Now, I need to make a few more cards for gift sets and then I can start on my Christmas cards. I've got plenty of time, right? ha! :)

Happy Stamping!
