mixing beautiful papers and giveaway

Hello Again, It's been a super busy week for me and I keep thinking I need to stay organized as the holidays creep up on me.  Creating cards has always been a wonderful outlet and it's always a happy day when  Simon Says Stamps card kit arrives. 
as you might have guessed ...it's that time of the month that I love ...when I get to give one of Simon Says Stamp December Card Kit away to one of you. Just leave me a comment (tell me if you are on Instagram) and I will pick a random winner on NOVEMBER 25TH
(If you purchased the kit and win you will be credited for the amount of the kit.) 
The papers in the Card Kit were so happy & festive I couldn't help but, make four cards. This stamp set called "Big Wishes" is awesome!! I LOVE sentiments and the battery image!! I can't wait to share what I created :)
I used a dauber to created the inked backgrounds on my cards. The rays of light look were intentional coming off the snowflake stencil. (The ink colors that matched the papers are linked in the supply list.) The sentiment was stamped on this banner die & I traced over the snowflakes & the sentiment with this awesome glitter pen. The perfect stocking stuffer!

Just in case you HAVE YOU BEEN WAITING TO BUY COPIC MARKERS ON SALE. Now is the time and I wanted to let you know that SIMON SAYS HAS everything Copic 25% OFF right now! CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE SALE. These blending sets are the perfect way to start if you are new to Copic markers. 
Have a great weekend and I hope you know that I am always grateful for your visit. Hugs, Kathy
P.S. I have been having fun posting different and random photos like table settings, food, cards, collections and stuff on Instagram if you are interested. Just search for Kathy Rac.
