4 Cards Today Featuring 3 Different Stamp Sets (all with Trees)........

This beautiful scenery card was made by Cindy Stewart &

features the "Let It Ride" Stamp Set. (pg. 45-Occasions Catalog)

I love how Cindy created all the mountains & trees.

My friend Debbie Kramer made this lovely tree card.

"All The Good Things" Stamp Set was used here.

(pg. 151- Annual Catalog)

Designer unknown. The reflection technique was done

on this card I believe.

Both cards #3 and #4 used the "Winter Woods" Stamp Set.

This item was carried over from the Holiday Catalog and

is shown on pg. 55 in the current Occasions book.

Although I did not personally create any of these 4 cards,

I hope you get a little inspiration from them.

Card #2 from Debbie has a very simple & cute card layout

that you could duplicate with any images you choose!!

Thank you very much for stopping by......Lori

One of the tiny punches from the Bitty Blooms Pack made those cute red flowers.

The Lovely Lipstick Enamel Dots are from page 25 (Occasions).

Thank You was cut out with the new Rectangle Stitched Framelits.
