Merry Christmas Brett and Jessica

This card is for my nephew and his girl friend.  I used several of the Magnolia Stamps to create the scene so I kept the card design simple and embellishment free.  I added their names to the stockings and used stickles to glitter them up a bit.  I hope they like it

Sending Love At Christmas

I am still working on Christmas cards.  I am never done because I love making Christmas cards. They are my all time favorite cards to make.  This lovely card features one of my favorite images from Mo's Digital Pencil.  I found this great Christmas greenery at Michaels.  It was in the Christmas floral section of the store.  I love that it is glittery and flat so it works on my cards.  Wish I would have found it sooner.  You just never know what you will find to embellish cards.

Christmas Card

When I chose this color combo for this card, I have to admit, I had some difficulty using the cream.  I love the look of white, silver and gold together but just wasn't sure the cream would work.  It just so happened that the card stock I used is double sided and the reverse of the silver pattern was cream.  Guess it was meant to work after all.  What do you think?

Christmas Shaker Card

Brrr! It's cold outside today.  Perfect day to stay inside and craft the day away.  

This card was a request by my aunt.  She wanted a card to give to the special guy in her life.  All she told me was that he likes outdoors, birds and the Nebraska team.  After trying unsuccessfully to work all of that into one card, I finally decided to make this simple shaker card.  Hope they like it!

Snow Angel

Wouldn't you know it, the day I post a snow scene the temperatures warm up!  I had lots of fun making this card.  Not only is the image adorable but I love all of these dies together. Since Willie is making a snow angel, I decided to use snow tex around him to form the outline of the snow angel.

It's new release day at Scrapper's Delights.  My DT project features Willie Snow Angel.  Isn't he cute?  There are several different digi images available featuring this adorable guy.

Dove of Peace

I love the way this card turned out.  I think it's my favorite Christmas card for this year.  The card embroidery pattern is from Stitching Cards.  This dove of peace is just beautiful.  The pattern suggested using metallic thread but I chose to use regular white and green embroidery floss.  Long before I ever started making cards, I did counted cross stitch and embroidery.  It's so fun to combine some of my favorite crafting mediums.

From Our House To Yours

 

I love the simplicity of this card.  I decided to make the card so we were peeking in the window from the outside.  Since my house is yellow, I decided to make my card to match.  I used an embossing folder from The Paper Studio for the outside of the house.

Window: Christmas Noel Cricut cartridge cut at 3.75 inches
Base for the wreath: Silhouette circle from George Cricut cartridge cut at 1.25 inches

Ugly Christmas Sweater

The current challenge at ScrapbookerPhd is to created a shaped or folded card.

I have had this paper in my stash for a couple of years and it has always reminded me of a Christmas sweater.  I used Cricut Craft room to create the card.  I found a shirt in the Everday Paper Doll cartridge and then stretched and welded two together to created the card.

I had fun adding lots of embellishments to make it look "tacky"  The star is a charm and I stitched it to the card so that it won't fall off.  I found a pom pom the perfect size to give Rudolph his red nose and the ribbon is from the dollar spot at Michaels.  I purposely left the ends frayed to give it that well worn look.

Here's the inside:

This card is for a certain someone we constantly tease about wearing ugly sweaters.  However, I think it would also make a great invitation for an Ugly Sweater Party.  I have already received an inviation to attend one Ugly Sweater party this year.

I really love the way this card turned out.  I found the sketch at Sketch Saturday and loved the clean and simple lines.  This Christmas tree has always been one of my favorite images from my Christmas Noel Cricut cartridge.  I think the Doo Hickey die cut I used pairs perfectly with it.  The paper is double sided.  One side is the red pattern and the other is the silver.

Deck The Halls

Christmas is less than 8 weeks away!  Are you ready?  I still have lots of Christmas cards to make. They are my favorite kind of cards to make so I know I will have fun this next month getting caught up.

I am also counting down the days until Sirius XM starts playing Christmas songs.  Yes, I am that person.  I love listening to Christmas music and will have it playing everyday until Christmas is over.

This card uses stamps from one of my favorite stamp companies, Magnolia Stamps.  I used a sketch from 52 Christmas Card Throw down.  I did not use any die cuts for this card which is unusual for me.  I did add some fun embellishments though.  The snowflakes are buttons and yes, those are real jingle bells.  I stitched them to the card so they are secure.  I added gold stickles to the star on top of the tree, snow tex to the tree branches, white embossing powder for falling snow and I painted the string of jingle bells with extreme glitter paint.

Halloween Tags

Here are a couple of quick tags I made for Halloween.  The first one is a pocket tag and will hold a gift card.  It is going into the care package for my oldest son who is in college and living in his own apartment.  

The second tag will go on the treat bag for my youngest son who is also in college but living at home.  Yes, I still like to spoil them even though they are in college.  I fill their care packages with items such as favorite snacks, gift cards to go out to eat and other small items that helps make college life a little easier.  I always try to include one item that is a reminder of home.  This year that item is a box of Dinosaur oatmeal.  Both boys used to love this as kids (they still do)
