Hello stamping people! Here is another realtor card sample I made this year, from a design by Andrea Walford. I printed her instructions and put the card together just as she directed, even the tricky ribbon pleating part! She is a wizard, I tell ya. I don't know how she comes up with her amazing ideas but check out her site at www.andreawalford.com. This card is from her 12 Weeks of Christmas 2010, week #3. There was a video presentation also which took you through the ribbon pleating procedure. I'm glad I watched it, as well as printing off the directions, because it was tricky to master just from reading it. I thought it turned out well though and it sure photographed well! Thanks George. On another note I just had a birthday yesterday, Dec. 5th, and I'm so close to old age pension time it's a little scary, people! And to think I'm still working. I seriously need to win the lottery and stop this work/job foolishness. One more year and I hope that's it for me. I'm slowly getting ready for Christmas but it's taking more time than it usually does. I haven't even got my cards out yet and I generally have them mailed before the end of the first week in December. I got a card from my daughter already! I guess I had better get my rear in gear before too many more days go by. Enjoy the rest of your week everyone.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like ...yikes, Christmas!

This is one of 6 cards I offered my realtor friend as his client cards this year. This one uses that yummy Cherry Cobbler seam binding, scallop punches and dies Presto Patterns dp and sponging. He didn't choose this one but he did pick 3 others so they're just about ready for delivery. He gets lovely (blowing my horn!) handmade cards for his clients and I get more of my cards out there so it's all good. I ordered another roll of the CC seam binding but as you all know it's backordered right now. I'm hoping it makes it into the big catty in July and with lots of other colors too! It's so scrumptious and easy to work with. The stamp here is from Perfect Punches, a really useful and versatile set to have. A little SU silver cord (retired) finished it off. I added a piece of WW to the inside so there's somewhere to add a greeting and that was it. Very quick and easy.
