We're excited to start creating again at
Just Christmas and Birthday Cards. This weeks sketch was created by Linda. I really enjoyed the layering in her sketch. I've decided as part of my creating this year I want to use more of what I have and not think I need something new every week! Easier said then done, right! Well, this challenge brought me to one stamped image, a new Magnolia which I adore. By clipping the holly from her hair and coving it with a little knot of red thread, I used the same stamp, with papers from the same line / stack, to creat both my Christmas and Birthday card. This is not only user friendly to my resolution, but it also made creating both cards a lot simpler for me. Not quicker but simpler :)
Be sure to check out the other design team cards. Everyone did a great job this week as always! Try the sketch out for a chance to win a really fun stamp 'the faith lady looks shy', kindly donated by

Beautifull cards Rheannon.
love how you can change a x-mas stamp into a b-day stamp with just a very small adjustment.

I love how you used the christmas stamp for your birthday card by just cutting off the leaves. That´s a great idea - and I think I will scraplift it... ;o)
Also your idea of using the same paper is great - but the cards don´t look the same tough because of you choosing other papers for matting and embellishments.
Both cards are adorable!
Love,
Kathrin
Gorgeous cards both of them!
Brilliant idea to transform the stamp. :) I can't believe the two cards were made with the same elements - they look so different and unique. Very clever of you. :)
Hugs,
