I had a quick card-making session - quick is key this time of year, right? but you want them to be great, too! The solution? simple stamping, with a little bling added by way of gold ink! Enter: Reason for the Season!
If you have a wee bit more time … how about some simple pencil coloring?
Isn't this the cutest set? I had a little more fun with it, combining it with a little kitty from MFT [no the drum is not in this set - nor, is the sentiment. I've used a bit of creative license, clipping, and writing* to make it my own]
Hope your Monday has been purrrrfect, too!

These are, of course, all fabulous but the kitty card makes my heart sing!
ReplyDeleteThese are all clean & simply wonderful Michele! I agree with Jen, that cute little drumming kitty has my heart, but I do love how those little sheep are hiding around the corner too, another clever technique that I rarely use but now you reminded me... maybe I will have to try it again lol!
ReplyDeleteLOVE all your cards Michele!! What is the name of the set you used?? I've been looking on their site and can't find it...I'm in love with those sheep and just the simple line drawings of the manger and Holy Family!! CAS perfect cards my friend!! :0)
ReplyDeleteYou've given us an abundance of CAS cuteness to look at! Sweet sweet cards Michele and your drummer sentiment is purrfect!
ReplyDeleteAww.. I love all of them! I can't even choose a favorite, they are the cutest cards ever.
ReplyDeleteMichele your fabulessness shines through again.
ReplyDeleteThese stamp images are so cute but your layout of the images make them look super adorable, Michele! Fantastic CAS cuteness! And I LOve your original sentiment for the kitty drummer. You should make this (creating punny sentiments) a business, seriously!

Gorgeous, Genius, Darling, Fabulous...what can I say, Michele! I LOVE every one of your cards...they're amazing! Beautiful coloring on the last two and the pom-pom on the kitty's hat just slays me :)
ReplyDeleteIs that an embossing folder on the last card? Love all the texture...and your perfect handwritten sentiment! You ROCK, my friend!
Simple and wonderfully CAS, Michele ... LOVE those line drawn nativity images ... you've used them so beautifully to depict the true reason for the Christmas season! J'adore! Oh, and your hand lettering is awesome! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSo cool all of them, I love the CAS designs and the more involved, the no colouring and the simple colouring and the wonderful drumming cat, what else could you ask for. Totally love them.
ReplyDeleteThere's that genius creative mind at work again.
ReplyDeleteLOVE!! Each one is fabulous, but the show stealer is signature Michele, that kitty one...be still my heart. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteDare I say...purrfection.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh these cards make me smile BIG! how did I miss this post? I am loving those characters to pieces - especially the one with the beard! heeheehee you find the greatest products! and then work wonders with them.
ReplyDeleteACK! These are all so cute and perfect for this time of year! I love how you wrapped the sheep around to the back of the second card. ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are sweet, simple and oh so adorable!
ReplyDeleteAw, so adorable! Love the simple line drawings. How cute to have some of your flock slipping around the corner. And the kitty is just precious--a perfect design!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely over-the-top cute!! I'm such a sucker for these sweet stamps! And your effortless style. I'm slowly starting to get a handle on quick(er) crafting. I'm lucky if I finish a card in a day! So you could say it's still a work-in-progress! I've started a set of one-layer cards, and I do have to say it helps a heap ;)
