Merry Christmas Walmart Peeps

Morning blogland peeps.  This past week I have been busy making cards for co-workers.  I am a Customer Service Manager (CSM) at Walmart. I supervise the cashiers, customer service desk and self checkouts.  This year I decided to make cards for all my peeps plus a few more that help out on the front end. Fifty-five cards in all.

I started by cutting out all the card bases and front panels.  I stamped my image on white cardstock.  Here I am stamping the snowman image from the card onto the envelope with versa mark.

I them layered my image panel onto a color panel and added the word 'merry' to the snowballs above the snowman.

After coloring the hat, mittens and scarf with color pencils, I put the panel onto the card base.  Then adding stickles to the snow, wink of stella to the hat, mittens and scarf, and glaze pen to his coal parts. Here they are layed out to dry. (Some had to be put onto hubbies desk. Glad he wasn't home to see.)

And here is my finished card.  It took me all morning to sign and add names to the envelopes. But most have already been delivered, and I will gradually catch everyone else this week.

Today will be spent finishing my cards for family and friends. I know I will probably miss the mailing deadline, but that is typical for me. Who doesn't like receiving a Christmas card in the New Year.

happy crafting ;o)

Happy Retirement

Good morning blogland.  What a bad blogger I have been. I'm having a hard time finding the time to sit down and post.  But I have managed to make a couple cards. Hubbie once again needed a card for the office.  This time a retirement.

I started with this one. Nice simple. Patterned paper, simple stamp. I even cut the sentiment stamp so it would fit.

Then I had some fun with this one.

And on the inside. This great stamp set came from The House that Stamps Built. Hubbie took both cards.

Right now I'm trying to come up with the family Christmas card. One thing I have discovered is that I can't color with markers.  I just can't get them to blend. Looks like a 5 year old did my coloring. Pencils are the way to go.

happy crafting
