Yet another Christmas Card

At least for this one, I mass produced the images. All I need to do is get the cards put together, into envelopes, addressed, and mailed.... At this rate, I'll get enough made for family only. I've got to start earlier next year. Anyway, this concept was borrowed from Gina K but simplified for me. Gina's is gorgeous but had a few more layers than I really wanted to cut (yes, I'm lazy at this point) :-)



Recipe:
Stamps: Magic of Christmas (GinaK)
Paper: PTI White, SU Brushed Copper
Ink: Versamark, Vintage Sepia
Accessories: Gold Cord, Copper Embossing Powder, Circle and Scalloped Circle Nestabilities

Oh yeah... I used my new Ott light to take the picture. I like it.... Now I just need to work on the operation of the camera ;-) So obviously, I heat embossed the ornaments on white cardstock. I rather like the outcome. It's a simple card, but it is elegant AND it won't require me to send it first class parcel through the mail. That is going to save me about .60/card! YIPPPEEEEEEEEEE!!! Thanks for looking!

Christmas is REALLY Close

Have I sent out any cards yet? NO!!!!!!!!! Why would I think ahead? It takes the fun out of the stress of Christmas!! :-) Here is another Christmas card that I was able to get made.

Recipe:
Stamps: Three ornaments (unknown)
Paper: Going Gray, White, Basic Gray, Night of Navy
Ink: black
Accessories: CB Ornaments Embossing folder, Copics, Crystal Stickles

Hopefully I'll have more by tomorrow!
Thanks for visiting....

Christmas is just around the corner

As I mentioned, I have actually been able to get a little, very little, crafting done. This is the bookmark that I am making for the staff at DD's "school"(daycare). I learned how to make these at my upline's house a month or so ago and thought they were just waaayyyy cute!


Recipe:
Stamps: N/A
Paper: Whisper White, Riding Hood Red
Ink: Pacific Blue
Accessories: Chipboard, Pacific Blue ribbon, filigree brads, snowflake punch

This is a double treat because its an SU only project as well! I used chipboard at the top and inked it up with Pacific Blue. Then I added the whisper white square to the chipboard. I punched the snowflake out of Riding Hood Red and attached the filigree and brad. The ribbon is attached to the back on the whisper white and then covered by another piece of whisper white... I hope that makes sense. If it doesn't and you really want to know, let me know and I can take pics that explain better :-)

I also made some of my Christmas cards for this year. I used a beautiful Kinkade stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms. I cased the card from SCS.



Recipe:
Stamps: The Night Before Christmas (CHF)

LONG Time

I know it's been a long time. It was always like this with my diaries too. I was actually able to create a little last weekend, so I will have something new to post soon! I promise ;-)

YAY - Another card

I can hardly believe it myself, but I got another card made!! YAY ME!!!! I thought that this stamp deserved to have a card designed around it.. It is just too cute!!


The medallion(for lack of a better term) at the top right is popped up on dimensionals as is the circle with the snowflake. I used the Hero Arts 1/2 back rhinestones on the tips of the snowflake for a little extra bling. Aren't these penguins just adorable???? TFL!

Whiff of Joy Challenge #7

Howdy... Finally got into my craft room to create something! I used the marvelous sketch provided for the Whiff of Joy Challenge #7. One of these days, I'll figure out the code for the widget and will put it on the side in a link. Anyway, I just had to ink up Willow with umbrella. She is so sweet and cute! I added a little sparkle to the rain and to her umbrella. We were talking about dew drops on SCS yesterday so I had to break mine out for this card as well. TFL!
