Round FF card on stand

With my newest dies, the grand nestabilities, I could finally make a round card. The card is made from wallpaper, I just love to use this instead of scrappaper. The square is made with a Spellbinder nestability, the text stamp is from Stampinback, the flowers and the stand are made with JoyCraft dies, the swirl is from Whimsy and the stamp is of course a Forever Friends. The stamp is colourd using the Distress Ink from Tim Holtz.

Half step stair card

Since I really have to start working on my Christmas cards, I made this winter variation on the step stair card. Unfortunately you can't see the colors very well, all blue tones (dark cardstock and metallic blue scrappaper). The 2 mitten stamps are from Whimsy and the other two stamps are from Whiff of Joy.
