MDS Family

I created a 8 x 8 page with my MDS, later I will put it in a shadow box with some additional embellishments such as ribbon, button and brads. I do not have a picture on completed project yet. I am learning and hope to have more time to play later.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from my family to yours.
This was my first try at making my Christmas card with MDS it was fun and I know that I will be using MDS a lot this new year.
May you all be blessed and enjoy your family.

The color combo for this card was chosen from The Rubber Redneck Stampede "Winter Wonderland" Day 1 Challenge. I used Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Very Vanilla. Holly from the Rubber Redneck blog offered this class. She is an awesome stamper.

shabby pocket fold

Fold down a corner and tie your card shut with a strip of Stampin Up's new fabric, add a big button and a glimmer brad with the snowflake punch to embellish this fun card. The second picture shows the card you can pull out to write your note on or maybe add a recipe. This shabby look comes from the shading and torn edges.
