Here are my versions of 5 of the cards; I added some gold cord, gold Stickles, and pearls to "bling" the cards up a little. I intend to make a set of 10-12 to use this year.

Minimal Stamping....if any
In spite of the hundreds of stamps that I own, I love making a card that gets away from stamps and ink. After discovering Jill Foster's "Inspired By" blog in July, I followed her tutorial for making a set of cards out of Penny Black stickers. -- HERE This month, Jill played with the PB Stickeroos again for "Christmas at Dusk" cards. Non-traditional colors but traditional images, and I love them! (I used one stamp: "Peace")

Inspired by Jill again...
Previously, I've posted a couple of cards that I made after seeing the technique on Jill Foster's Inspired By blog. Her recent video demonstrating how to make a set of cards from Penny Black Stickeroos motivated me today, and I actually made three cards and had stickers left over. The two-toned card at the left was colored with Distress Stains, the first time I've used them. The horizontal card to the right was also colored with Distress Stain. Distress Inks were used for the rest of the stamping and inking. (click for a closer view)

Inspired again...
(What a relief to find Blogger working again!) Sometimes I think I've never had an original thought about card-making! I do love to find cards that I can CASE or use as great inspiration, though, and Jill Foster's Inspired By blog has once again provided that inspiration.

Card 3 for June 22
It's just 9:30 p.m. here, so I'm well inside the deadline for my three cards. In fact, I made another card today that I'm not posting; it was a sympathy card that I put in the mail this afternoon.
This card is a CASE of Jill Foster's wonderful creation in her June 7 post. Jill's "Inspired By" blog truly inspires me with the vibrant colors and striking designs.
My card is a horizontal version of Jill's card...because the sentiment and embellishments wouldn't fit on a vertical layout. The simple flower image and the sentiment are both from Hero Arts.
