Simple Christmas Card

This card has it all: glitter, heat embossing, ribbon, stamped sentiment... and it is still a simple, simple, simple card!

I know I've posted a bunch of Christmas stuff lately but I'm just SO EXCITED for the holidays to be here already! Unfortunately, I haven't started my Christmas shopping yet! Have you?

A Hybrid Card!

This card that I made is three old Christmas cards recycled and remade into one fresh, new card!

First there is the red overlay. It was originally a card cover and it came with the cute little hole already punched out and just waiting to be transformed! The mitten focal image was punched from another card front using my handy two inch circle punch. The punch that I own is the kind with the handles that you grasp. I really like it.
The third piece is the green strip of glittery flourishes. Underneath that I stamped flourishes in Versamark to coordinate. Have you recycled any cards lately?
I love how this final card compilation turned out! Let me know what you think and leave a comment or two!

Christmas! It's Almost Here!

Well, I guess we have a *little* bit longer until Christmas is here! But with all the christmas card and present ideas on all the blogs, I've just felt really inspired to get an early start on everything.

I made a couple of these little 3x3 cards to use as gift tags. The main image was colored using chalks and a blender pen. I stamped the background image in Versamark because I love the subtle look it gives the image!I think this is a great little card to include with any Christmas present. What do you think?

For my Sister

This a beautiful card I created for my sister. I love this. I used one of the $1 alphabet stamp sets from Michael's for the focal image and just repeated it over and over. I think it turned out really well. What do you think? The "A" is also from that set.

The bottom piece is stamped in Versamark. I just LOVE this look. And this color combination is so beautiful and feminine. Perfect for my little sister!

The buttons are tied with Rustic Jute Twine and the border is punched with an EK success punch. I use this thing all the time! Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Happy Birthday, Little Brother!

Yesterday was my little brother Robbie's birthday! Here's the semi-masculine card that I made for him:

I know that there is a lot of glitter on this card but I needed a glitter fix! I just HAD to use some somewhere and I think this turned out alright. It's not too feminine... even with all that sparkle!
It's been forever since my last post! I had to completely rearrange and gut my craft room but now that it's done I feel so much better! This new layout is fabulous and my creative juices are really flowing now! I can't wait to keep this blog up more regularly!

Happy Birthday to my Mom!

For my mom's birthday I made her a little photo album with recent pictures. This wrapping is great though! I put the photo album in a box and covered it with some cardstock that I stamped with a couple images. The stars are from an old Stamping UP Christmas set that I have and I can't even remember where the cute little "to my mom" sentiment came from.

The tag is covered and sanded chipboard that I embossed a "Happy Birthday" sentiment on.

I can't wait for her to unwrap this surprise and hope she likes it!

Just a Note

Here's my latest card:

It uses similar colors to the last one that I posted and actually some of the same patterned paper but I just love blues and browns together!I made the little tag myself. What do you think?
