Christmas Cards #3

Time to share some more cards.
On the first card I used a free cut of the week from Cricut.com  and cut it out using the Cricut Craft Room and my Cricut machine. I added some bling randomly around the card to give a bit of sparkle.
On the second card I used papers from last years Recollections Bright and Jolly paper pad. Added some ribbon and a simple greeting and just like that I was done.

I am so close to finishing all the cards that I'm beginning to get a bit sad. It’s so much fun making Christmas cards that I’m thinking of making them all year round. Don’t worry I won’t mail them out until Christmas. Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Cards #2

I have a couple of more cards to share.So far these are my favorites.

For both cards I used the Christmas Cheer svg cut file from svgcuts.com. I love the way the Christmas tree turned out. But for some reason it reminds me of Charlie Browns Christmas. hmmm. I added some Recollections Glitz to the ornaments and star to make it more festive. Can't have Christmas without glitter.

On this cute cross eyed guy I used my Cuttlebug with the Divine Swirls embossing folder to emboss some swirls around his feet to make it look like snow. I also added some Glitz to the edges of the trees to give it some sparkle. And lastly a little red gem on his nose.

The cards were so much fun to make and I still have some more cards to make from this collection.

For those of you who have cutting machines go check out svgcuts.com. They have some really cute and fun svg files.

Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Cards

I’ve been working very hard on making my Christmas cards this year. Here is a sampling of a few cards I have made.
The papers are from last years DCWV Christmas pack. The greeting and nativity are from Hero Arts clear stamps “Greatest Gift” set. I embossed the greeting with Recollections Metallic Silver embossing powder.
I really love this stamp set. It’s what Christmas is really all about. Love it!

I’m half way done with making my cards. I didn’t realize how many cards I had to make. I’m having a blast making them though. So no worries. I will be posting some more pics later this week.  Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Card List Freebie

I have a freebie for all of you today. I needed a list of family and friends that I need to sent Christmas cards to I didn’t want to right down on boring blank paper.  So I created a list on Word and decided to share it. Hope you like it.

More Halloween Cards

Here’s a couple of more cards I would like to share.
First up is the cutie pie Witchy Tia from SomeOddGirl.com. She’s so adorable!
On the second card we have the pretty Hallo Witch from The Greeting Farm.
I used digi stamps on both cards and colored them with Artist Loft colored pencils from Michael’s. I used Turpeniod to help blend in the colors. Papers are last years collections from Recollections and K&Company.

I’ve been having so much fun making cards that sometimes I forget to make dinner. That’s what takeout is for right?
Thanks for stopping by.

Halloween Projects

Yay! I finally bought batteries.
Here is my very first table runner. I had some left over fabric from last year and just pieced them all together. It makes me nervous to try any kind of surface quilting so I just didn’t do it. Do you know what the best part of this project was? My husband actually liked it. Yay for me!

Next I made a card. I love this card! I used  K&Company and Recollections paper from last year and die cuts from svgcuts.com. The little bat is a clear stamp from Recollections. Have I mentioned I love this card? Hmm, I might just keep it.

I hope everyone’s Halloween projects are in full bloom. I can’t wait to get started on Christmas projects. Thanks for stopping by.

It's October!

Yay it's October! I love the fall. The leaves are changing, the World Series is coming(GO YANKEES!), and it's time to start eating. My favorite time of the year.

I've been busy making Halloween crafts and I would post pictures for you but my camera went dead. I'll post them as soon as I get new batteries. One item I made is a Halloween table runner. I'm very proud of it. And the second item is of course a card. I'm also making Halloween goodie bag toppers and tags. And yes more cards. You never know who will be getting a card from me.

 I hope everyone is enjoying the whether change and see you soon. But until then enjoy a bit of Charlie Brown.
