Christmas 6

Hi Everyone!!
Will today I'm working on cards again..... Here's a close up of my #6 Christmas card!!
Not Bad Hah??
Yep my bow is made with the Bow-Easy and I used a SU punch on the Merry Christmas and layered that on top of a Spellbinder Fancy Tags. 
Here's a view of the whole front. 
I used the largest Spellbinders Labels 4 for the left edge only by just weaving the paper under the die on just one side and left the rest of the paper on top of the die.  I had never tryed this before but think it worked well.

and this is the inside, I used a Martha Stewart border punch at the bottom and layered it on top of the same green as the Fancy tag on the front.
Hope you enjoyed todays card as much as I did creating it.   
The size of the completed card is 5.5 x 4.25 and will fit a A2 Envelope.
This card with decorated envelop cost 3.00/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!!

What,,,,,, NO Card???????

Hi Everyone!!!
What,,,,,,,No Card today?
Will let me tell you why.  Today I went to our NEW MICHAELS store!!
Can you believe it??? We did not have one for 30 or 40 miles in either direction.  But I would make the trip whenever I could make an excuse to go.  Or when a friend would be going and ask if I wanted to tag along....(what a dumb question-hah) !
But NOW I can go when ever I want....
The GRAND OPENING isn't till Sunday the 12th, but today was the first day of the pre-opening.  They had some things at 40% off but no coupons yet, one of the gals there said there would be great deals Sunday for the Grand Opening.... Will I wasn't going to go, but after hearing that, willllll what do you think?
Of course I'm going!
I don't know about the rest of you out there but I really love going there.  And by the look and sound of the rest of the Ladies I meet there we all felt the same.  I talked with several of the ladies there, and we were all excited and smiling and chatting... no one knew each other but we talked like we did...
I had a good time and could not wait to tell everyone!

Thanks for stopping by again!
Hope you Enjoyed!!

Christmas 5

Hi Everyone!
Here's my 5th Christmas Card creation. 
This is a close up of the front so you can see how I did just a little coloring on Santa's robe, I wanted to bring just the red out.  And of the pretty bow too.

Now you can see the whole front.  I backed Santa (by Paper Inspiration called Father Christmas K10407)with white and then use dimensionals to pop that up on the dark green. On the bottom corner I used a corner rounder on everything just to give it a different look. And I used CTMH Vineyard berry to ink around everything to give it a old feel.

On the inside I used a Martha Stewart border punch and then cut a piece of the background paper and rounded the bottom corener agan before I did the inking around everything. 
The verse came from CTMH set "Peace on Earth" (D1243).
Hope you enjoyed todays card I liked this one the best.  It was a lot of fun to make, I always enjoy bows and with my Bow-Easy its so easy.......
The size of the completed card is 5.5 x 4.25 and will fit a A2 Envelope. 
This card with decorated envelop cost 3.00/each, and like anything hand made no two will be exactly alike, maybe very close but can't promise.

Christmas 4

Hi Everyone!!
Today I just finished another Christmas card I can make a bunch fast.  I used Spellbinders Standard Circles Large #2 and Small #1, 2, 3, for the balls.... then cut paper for behind that. It was kind of tirckey to find something that would look nice behind the white but I think it's ok.....?

On this one I used Adirondack Dimensional Pearls-Cranberry on the Red dots... I was supprised how much it changed the look.   The Merry Christmas is from CTMH set "Wonderful Season" (C-1293).

This one I used paper that looked like beads that had gold on it already.  It dosent show up much on this pic but looks nice in person.

The inside I stamped with from CTMH set "Peace on Earth" (D1243). I used a 1" circle punch for this and back with the same paper as the front.
This simple design was fast and fun and I can 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.

Hope you Enjoyed!!

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.

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.
