Mother Teresa message for Christmas

Simplified tag

After being away for a while I found myself behind for this month’s 
Christmas Card Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.
I thought that a tag with a message for the holidays and all days was good to feature. The quote is Mother Teresa’s. Making flowers is a favorite of mine and the Tim Holtz tattered poinsettia dies makes it so easy. I added white chalk ink on the petals of the poinsettia to give a frosty look. Mail it, hand it out, pass it on or hang on the tree. It's all good. The tags measure 4"x 5.25" and die cut using Spellbinders Curved Rectangles.

Thanksgiving Treats!

Everyone needs a treat! 

What about a great little treat basket made from a scalloped circle?
The tutorial for this basket is found at Splitcoaststampers .

Chrysanthemum

Mums are fall flowers! 

So, for the Clean and Simple Challenge at Splitcoaststampers I wanted to break away from the fall leaves and pumpkins for this card. The colors in the pinterest inspiration photo allowed for the use of red, yellow and green. I used three different punches for the flower that I punched out in yellow and then used a water brush dipped in SU Raspberry Ripple to color the petals. I added a Sizzix tattered leaf, and the center is a 8" x 1/4” strip of green card stock, snipped and quilled. I used a Sizzix scallop die and layered the positive and negative cuts in the border.
