Happy Thursday!
Today is my day to post at Quietfire Creations. Keeping with my New Year's Resolution, I made a Christmas card using their new Illuminations stamp set. The card came together in a flash and is now added to my stash. :)
(Admittedly, it feels great to get another card done for the holidays!)
Feel free to pop over to the Quietfire Creations blog for more details on the card.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
Hugs,

Hi again!
Made a quick little red, white and blue Kraft birthday card to share.
The card base is die cut Kraft paper using Spellbinders A-2 Fancy Ribbon Threader. Clear vellum was dry embossed using a Cuttlebug scroll folder then die cut using Spellbinders Labels Three. Red and white polka dot paper (October Afternoon) was die cut with Labels Fifteen and Labels Three. Navy blue paper was die cut with Medallion One. Light ivory linen card stock was cut with Standard Circles (LG) and then stamped in Majestic Blue (Versafine) sentiment "Happy Birthday and Many More" from JustRite set Forever Friends. Tim Holtz's Fired Brick was inked along the edge of the circle. Blue twine was stitched into the base as was ivory ribbon. Recollections' blue rose button was assembled to the bow. Martha Stewart's butterflies were punched in ivory and blue.
The above looks like a lot of steps/work, but the card went together quite quickly. I find with the A-2 die that cards just seem to fall into place easily. :)
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!
