Christmas 3

Hi Everyone!!!

Today I'm showing my third Christmas Card.... This one I did simple because I'm going to make a bunch of them.... I used my Cuttlebug folder Swiss Dots on the Green background then just layered white and red behind the Merry Christmas paper I got last year.  Put a little ribbon around that before mounting to the green and added a tag with Gold embroidery threads. Then around the green I added Gold Liquid Pearls, that added just enough glitz I think.  On the envelope I stamped the holy from a CTMH set called "Vintage Christmas" (D-1166). 

Here you can see the tag better with "Merry Christmas" from the CTMH set called "Peace on Earth" (D1243),

this is the inside,  I stamped from the same  CTMH set called "Peace on Earth" (D1243).  The border I used a Martha Stewart border punch and more Christmas paper I bough last year and backed it with more of the Red.

Hope you enjoyed today's card, This one was a simple design so it could make a bunch easily...

The size of the completed card is 5.5 x 4.25 and will fit a A2 Envelope.

This card with decorated envelop cost 2.50/each, and like anything hand made no two will be exactly alike, maybe very close but can't promise.

Thanks for stopping by again!

 Hope you Enjoyed!!

 

Merry Christmas 2

Hi Everyone!

Here's my second Christmas Card..... the Candle (by Penny Black stamp) and Merry Christmas (by Just Right) were both Gold heat embossed. Used a Just Right border from the set of Months and I just did the Merry Christmas out of the 15 & 50 point Special Occasions fonts in the center. Stamped it twice, once on the green and once on the red and then used Spellbinders Classic Large Ovals # 2 & 3. The border is a Martha Stewart Border punch.

this is a close up, you can see where I used dimensionals to border and the candle.  And of course I used the Bow-Easy for the bow.

For the inside I placed a border down the right side and add my verse (by CTMH Peace on Earth D-1243) in the middle

Hope you enjoyed today's card, I had fun making this one...

The size of the completed card is 5.5 x 4.25 and will fit a A2 Envelope.

Christmas Ornament

Hi Everyone!!

Can you tell what I've been working on????????????

Yep, Christmas Cards!!

Here's a close up of my first try...

Here's a full view of the front. 

I did heat embossing with Gold for the ornament (from Judi Kins) and even did the edges of the red too.  I may not do that to all of them it was kind of tricky to get that stuff on the edges.  For the ribbon I just made a hole in the loop of the ornament and pull the ribbon thru then let it hang down at the bottom... simple!

The inside looks better in person, the pic just does not make it look right. 

I used a Spellbinders Label 13 and stamped a CTMH sentiment from the "Peace on Earth" (D1243). 

The size of the completed card is 5.5 x 4.25 and will fit a A2 Envelope.

New TOOL !!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone! 

Will I had to share a new tool I decided to get after much debate.  Finally broke down and got a Scor-Buddy..... and WOW!! I love it....!!! It's the smaller version of the Scor-Pal.  I really didn't think I had room for the larger Scor-Pal and keep putting it off so when the Scor-Buddy came out a few months back I just could not resist. 

At the bottom I laid a 6" ruler down so you could see the size better.

Across the top is has a built in ruler along with special marks for the card markers special needs.

"IT'S PERFECT"

Here is shot of the tool I've used for years...It works fine but like most Cutters that you can Score with it does not have enough room so you don't have to open the swing arm every time you want to cut/score....

For it's age it's really in good shape, but I've been very careful with it, always worried I was going to brake that fold away arm off... then I'd be up the Creek....

That's it!!

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!

 

LUCKY !!? Flippin' Card

Morning Everyone!!

I tried something NEW for me today!!!  I first saw these "Flippin' Stamps" at the 2009 CHA show in Orland last year and didn't get any but was aways disappointed that I didn't.  Will a few weeks ago I found them again and boy was I excited  http://www.lapashe.com/.  Below is the card from one of the new stamps sets I ordered.

On the front I used a EK Success border punch with Red paper behind it and then I used a hole punch to punch out the red so the black would show thru.  The black ribbon is just from my stach who know where it's from. The back ground paper is from a SU set I think it's still being sold, really cute with check's, domino's, and all kinds of card shapes. Looks cute with this BINGO Winner!!

Here's a close-up of the front, you can see I used dimensionals behind just the head and arms...

And here's the inside!!!! See how when I cut her out then put her to the edge of the front so she's hanging off then you can see the Black inside of the card behind her when it's closed. 

The saying is;

It's not the taking part,

It's the Winning that counts.

Again I used the same border punch and background paper too.

To write on the inside I'll use a White Gel pen.

Will that's it for today!! Tell me what you think of my Flippin' Stamp set, I'll have more from time to time.

The size of the completed card is 5.5 x 4.25 and will fit a A2 Envelope.

This card with decorated envelop cost 3.50/each, and like anything hand made no two will be alike, maybe very close but can't promise.

Nothing Wrong with the World???

Hi Everyone...!!

I've been working on a couple of Friend's cards... There almost the same just changed up the ribbon... you'll see what I mean.

The Gal on the front is from the CTMH stamp set "Ms. Gardener" (D1344) , and the sentiment is a SU set called "Favorite Thoughts". Love both of these sets and know I'm going to use them allot.

Todays SU-sentiment is;
There is nothing wrong with the world
that a sensible woman could not settle
in an afternoon. - Jean Girandouz

Now for the card.... I did several layers of paper and used Spellbinder-Fancy Tags on the front, and I used one of Martha Stewart border punchs (don't have the name of it). The ribbon is from my stash I think I got it at Michel's a while back on sale.... it looks good both ways but I'm partial to the crumpled one on the left. 

Sorry the pic looks washed out... tried it a few times, think it's my lite... (I don't have professional lights, just my overheads, maybe someday!)

here's a close up of the card with the ribbon flat with buttons... buttons from my flea-market stach.

and here's a close up of the font with the crumpled ribbon.... I like this look the best...

Here's the inside... both are the same so I just took one shot..

Will that's it for today!

The size of the completed card is 5.5 x 4.25 and will fit a A2 Envelope.
