Merry Monday

Second Post for the day!


Use a Santa on your card! 
Easy!

I should have brought the letters down a bit.
Hello again! I used Santa from Serendipity Stamps, don't you just love this one! My Alphabet is Wplus9 , I stamped the red and white stripes with my Pinstripe Backgrounder from Waltzingmouse Stamps( love this one )! The Christmas is from Hero Arts, and Lil Inkers circles. Quite a collection!


This is a card that I posted this morning for a split second then deleted it when I missed the deadline. I wanted to get a better picture than the one I had with my iPhone because it was in the early morning.
It was going to be for this Muse here and for Darnell Knauss card. 

 
For this card I use Stamps by Judith and A bit of glitter.
Papertrey Ink Ribbon

Thanks for the visit.

  1. Your Santa card is so fun, and love, love that layered sentiment! Your (almost) Muse card would have been the winner for sure. It's lovely and elegant. CAS and so beautiful. Love it, and hope you don't mind if I pin that one. Bev

  2. It's not fair that you give us two such extraordinary cards in one post, Marybeth!

    I'll have to start with your exquisite CASE of my MUSE card. It is beyond lovely and feminine and thoughtful. I'm so sorry you missed the deadline, but I so appreciate that you joined in!!

    Your Santa is the poster card for Christmas 2013! Your should sell it Macy's or Nordstroms or Saks or FAO Schwartz for their advertising campaigns! I am going to pin it and I think I will spread like wildfire and be CASEd all over the world! Hugs, Darnell

  16. What a gorgeous Santa card! It immediately jumped out at me at Merry Monday - I love the shadow effect of the letters and the Santa is just perfect. I love the paper pieced hat and the jeweled accent.

  17. Two fabulous cards Marybeth! Love the way your Santa's hat pops and the second card is absolutely gorgeous in its purity.

  18. You do simple elegant color better than anyone else I know. Your touches of color on Santa are spot-on. The striped 'shadow' on MERRY is so vintage, and completely lets your white MERRY shine.

    Your white flowers card is stunning! That white sumptuous bow is the perfect finishing touch.

    Hope you enjoy the busy season as much as I enjoy seeing your cards. Thanks so much for taking the time to share. It really is a big commitment to make and post all your lovely creations.
