Hubby's Christmas Card!

Hi Everyone!!

Can you believe it... I forgot all about my hubby's Christmas card... I did everyone but his and one for my Mom and Dad.... I'll work on there's tomorrow maybe! 

Will today I did hubby's and here we go........  He LOVE'S to Deer hunt so I try to do a deery card each year for him.  This is what I came up with... I used 2 different kinds of pattern paper, one with horns and the other with leaves... Did my layering, then used my OLD SU deer set called Noble Deer, love that set it can be used with so many different card types.

 Here's another view of the front, I couldn't decide which one I liked better so used them both...

 Here's a close-up, see how I did the bow, I just folded it back and forth in my hand then used needle and thread to sew it so it would hold then I glued it down. Next I tied some twine on the button and glued it on top to cover the sewing... Looks good and not frilly I hope.

This is the inside... If one of his gifts doesn't get here I'll put a gift card in here too....

Will I still got time to do a few more things today... hubby brought home some mistletoe for me from our cabin in Ga. so think I put that in little clear bags and tie ribbon on each for little gift stuffer. 

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!

 

Catch of the Day

Morning!!

Today I made our oldest sons Birthday card.  It's not for a week but had to get it done before other things got going...

He love to fish so this was perfect I though.  This cute little bear out fishing and then the Old Men Rule back ground paper for fishing was just perfect.  The little bear is from the CTMH set Beary Best (C1363), and the Catch of the Day is from what else but Catch of the Day set (C1277). 

this is the inside.....

 Yep, it's an easel card... to cute!!!

Hope he likes it, bet he will with the gift card inside...we could put it in a folded piece of news paper.   That's an idea... maybe I'll try something later with news paper. 

Will that's it for today.

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!

Seize the Day

Morning!!
Today I needed some Sun so I did these two cards.

I just love the Sunny look of these very similar cards.  I used the CTMH stamp set called"Something Splendid" (D-1424), it's a double stamping technique that I used Honey and Sunny Yellow inks. Some thinks I did the same on each like the layout and sayings, also I used Swiss Dots folder on the white background on both, the same border on both, ribbon color but there's a few little changes that I'll explain down further.  

 On this one I backed the flower with a lite green and just sponged the edges with black, I also used Butterscotch and Espresso dimensional Pearls on the center of the flower. On the Swiss Dots background was sponged with Citrus Leaf.  And then I did a Bow on this one. 

Now the difference on this one is I put Black behind the flower and the Swiss Dots instead of just sponging.  I also did the crinkle ribbon thing with No bow.

Even thow these are little changes it really makes a difference.

this is the inside.  I showed the top so you could see how I did the ribbon to hid the seam from the black, I did that on both.  and used the same saying on the inside.

LOVE this saying by SU... In fact love the whole set called "Favorite Thoughts" there cute but sassy too....

This is a shot of all the STUFF I used,,,,I think...

I might add this kind of pic for each post... don't know if you like seeing this or not so let me know.

That's it for today!!  Think I'll do something different again... this one was fun and made me feel good, and that's what we should be doing, Right?  Do what makes us feel good!

PS:  Finished my Tree, almost finished decorating the house... Yea!!!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!

Happy Hauntings!

Hi Everyone!!

Today I did something compleatly different than what I've been doing for almost a month now..... I did a Halloween card....

Now I'm not usually big on Halloween but I got this free stamp set from CTMH and had to try it out, its called Thriller (D1442) and the Chandelier came from an OLD Clear Stamps I had by Heidi Swapp.

Here's the front.

This close up you can see the Adirondack Dimensional Pearls in Eggplnat around the outher edge, then Lettuse aroung the orange, and Butterscotch around the yellow in the backround area.  I also used some Liquid Pearls Silver Pearl on the tips of each candle and then when that dried I added a little Stickles-Crystal.

Now for the inside.... I used the same background paper and then used an old Fiskars corner punch on that.  I added the large labe from Spellbinder Labels Four set and stamped the bottom with that FREE CTMH set Thriller (D1442).

Hope you enjoyed the change, because I sure did... may do a few more of these before moving on to something else... who know??

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!

 

Dotty A Cards & Things Book

Hi Everyone!!

Today I decided I was not going to touch any Red, Green or Gold..... I just don't think I can stand to see any more Red, Green or Gold for a week or two.........

Sooooooooooooo!

This is what I decided to do.

I reworked a Composition book into a:

"Dotty A Cards & Things Note / Ideas / Sketches / Misc." Book

this is the front...... so you can see the 4-tabs on the side and 2 across the top.

and this is just the front.......

bad shot of the top tabs.......

better shot of the side tabs......

I really enjoyed doing this and so glad I did.  I've need / wanting to make this book for a while and so glad I took the time to make it. 

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!
