My two childhood best friends both live in New York, one in Manhattan and the other in Brooklyn. I visit them periodically, but I have been missing them a lot recently. All three of us are into Asian decor, especially bamboo. On my last visit to NYC, we visited an adorable Asian store, where I got a GORGEOUS Asian tea set. (The three of us also performed together in a school play of The King and I).
I just got this adorable Hero Arts stamp set from
Simon Says Stamp, so I thought they would be perfect to use on a card for my two besties.
I wanted to create two similar cards, but I didn't want them to be exactly the same. I used all the same elements and two different sketches.

On these cards, I used the Hero Arts Asian Dolls stamps, paper by Anna Griffin, Studio G sentiment stamp, adhesive pearls, and the Creative Memories scallop corner punch.

INSIDE: (I used the reverse cut of the Xmas tree instead of throwing it out. I think this works well for the insides of cards, as long as the shape is big enough to write your message inside the card). The stamp is by Studio G and it says "Warm Winter Wishes." I thought it was so appropriate for this card.

I created this card for a swap on the Cricut messageboard. (I made 5 of them). I used my new Joys of the Season Cricut Cartridge to make the bear and oval. I used a Studio G stamp, stickles, poinsettia primas, the Martha Stewart leaf punch, a brad, Cuttlebug snowflakes embossing folder, and pop dots.
