Cupcake Thief

I made this card for a special friend who just turned 17 years old.  Actually, she is one of my former daycare kids.  She is super sweet and I miss hearing her say, "Miss Jul-lie"

For this card I used another great image from Mo's Digital Pencil called Cupcake Thief. I just love the way the hair turned out.

I created the card in Cricut Craft room by welding two shapes together. This has become one of my favorite card shapes.  It certainly is more interesting than your basic square or rectangle card.

Winter Card

I love the way this card turned out.  I finally had a chance to use my new snowflake nesting frame die set from Yvonne Creations.  I can tell already that this die set is going to get lots of use on my projects. Not only does it come with this gorgeous snowflake circle, it also has 3 other circle dies to make layering a breeze.

I fussy cut out Tilda and she sits just perfectly with the pattern paper that it looks like she is holding one of the snowflakes.  I couldn't have planned that better. (I didn't really plan it. It was a happy coincidence)

Double Pocket Card

This is my first double pocket card. The current challenge at Aud Sentiments is Vintage + A Sentiment.  We are sponsored by My Artistic Adventures. 

 I wanted to make Christmas tags with the images from My Artistic Adventures.  I thought the recipient of this card could use the tags on Christmas gifts. That makes this a card and gift all in one!

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.
