Some Finished Cards

I know....where is the soap?? Well it will return soon. ;)

In the meantime here are a few of my finished owl cards...I just love them!!!!

This one is actually a goof up....the green Merry Christmas is cleverly hiding it, hehe

This cute lil guy was a little too plain so I "blinged" him up.

These ones I did different with my swirled tree stamp...the one on the left is stamped in green, the one on the right is my "fancy" version where I embossed it.

A lot of work for something that may go in the garbage...but hopefully a few people will get a smile out of them. I have sure had fun making them....now on to Valentines.........

Now back to your regular soaping program. :)

Making my own Christmas cards

So now of course you know I am hooked on Stampin' up and I also am crazy enough to think I have loads of free time in between working a full time job, building my business and making loads of soaps and lotions....so yeah somewhere in there is enough time to MAKE my own Christmas cards....and well while I am at it sure I can get them out in time to arrive BEFORE Christmas 2010!!

So here is my start...I LOVE owls, so I saw this owl punch and it was love at first sight.
I have been punching owls out while watching TV in the evening....even took some to work to do while on my lunch time....



These are my lil guys in process....punch the brown body, then a colored belly, then the 3 layers of eyes. Then from another punch I punched out bird wings to add to some of my owls...I like them both ways.

I have bunches ready....now time to assemble the cards soon....

Some will need a branch to sit on.....
