Here is another card I made using the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set (this was based on a class I taught last year).  I love how the rose is just barely colored with the Baja Breeze.

And don't you just love those corduroy buttons?!  This card is destined for another special person.  Hopefully she will like it.  What do you think?

Thanks for looking!

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the inks look so delightful
So while the winter is cold and damp
Let us stamp! Let us stamp! Let us stamp!

It doesn't take much convincing
And I've brought a tool for crimping
Choose some paper, turn up the lamp
Let us stamp! Let us stamp! Let us stamp!

When we carefully press just right
How we smile as the image unfolds
Add some color, so bold, so bright
The result is a sight to behold.

Our projects are quickly drying
And there's new techniques for trying
So until we get finger cramps
Let us stamp! Let us stamp! Let us stamp!

Happy Holidays!!

I love the Icicle Rub-ons!  Have you tried them yet?  They rock!  They are so easy to use and make great accents or focal points for all of your paper crafting projects.  Check out this card I made that uses one of the snowflakes as the main focus for this non-traditional Christmas card:

I used Tempting Turquoise and Whisper White to create this layered look.  I cut the cardstock to fit the snowflake rub-on image and then layered out from there.  I also sponged the edges of the card stock to help tie everything together.  This card is so easy to make that you'll want to make a bunch of them (good thing you have both white and silver rub-ons in the pack!).

Of course I had to use the coordinating Serene Snowflakes to stamp the envelope in Tempting Turquoise.  Don't you love getting a hand stamped card - and envelope - in the mail?

Stamps: Serene Snowflakes (for the envelope), Many Merry Messages

Ink: Tempting Turquoise

Paper: Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise

Accessories: Icicle rub-ons, bone folder, stamping sponge
