December Card Ministry

 The first card was very popular. We used the Crafting With You Bundle. The easel was stamped in Pebbled Path ink then that piece of Basic White was die cut with a Deckled Rectangles Die. This was mounted on another White layer. The card base was Mint Macaron which is retired, but so pretty with this. The picture/painting? It is a photograph of a famous street here in our hometown. The avenue of Live Oaks is so very beautiful and typically southern. I simply opened the photo in a Word Document and resized it so that it would fit on this easel stamp. I then copied 9 more of them to fill the page and printed it in color. The brushes needed a cup so I used a retired punch, Washi Label, and punched some DSP, cut it in half because it was too tall. 

Trucking Along bundle, Balmy Blue and Basic White, the tag was made with a retired punch, called Tag Topper.

Lets Go Shopping bundle and DSP. The storefront was stamped in Rich Razzleberry onto Bubble Gum cardstock. The card base is also Rich Razzleberry, a retired but beautiful color!

 Fun folds are just plain fun aren't they? Today I have more from the Let's Go Shopping bundle and DSP, but I also have a companion stamp set that is found in the Christmas Catalog, called Shop The Town which coordinates with the Let's Go Shopping Dies.

Let's Go Shopping

 I say this so often, but this bundle has been tons and loads of fun!!! The Let's Go Shopping suite was on my wish list when the new annual catalog came out last spring It was one of my top favs, but I was trying to be practical in my choices. I kept pushing down the list and now that I have it I'm wondering why I didn't get it right away! Silly me!! I just love playing with it and the more I use it, the more applications I see for its use.  I sure hope we have a flower shop stamp set to coordinate with the dies in the Spring Catalog!!
