Clear Winter Wishes Card

Hello everyone!  Here's another Christmas card.

So this one was hard to photograph.  The white paper is glittered paper, the tree has some bling and the background stamp is stamped with metallic Staz On, so needless to say - very hard to photograph.  The sentiment stamp and dies are PTI and the background stamp is Hero Arts.

Have a great weekend everyone!

2 Christmas cards

I haven't blogged in a while.  The family has been keeping me busy.  I'm slowly making Christmas cards, but today I thought I would share 2 reject cards that I had made back in June for Paper Craft mag.

I really like how the first card turned out.  Pink + kraft = yum!  The pink paper is glitter paper so the whole card sparkles.  I cut the snowflake out using my Spellbinders Nestabilities, the stamp and banner die are PTI.

I don't love how the second card turned out.  It started off with one idea and snowballed into a mess. That happens, right?  I do like the colours though and will try that combo again.  I made the snowflakes out of felt using PTI's Peace Be Still die.  The letters are glitter stickers.

I'm hoping that this is one of many posts in the next little while.  I love making Christmas cards and tags and plan to post more soon.

Thanks for dropping by today!  I appreciate it :)

Happy Halloween!

Yes, a day late, I know.  Better late than never, right?  Here are the cards I made for my kids.

The stamps are Inkadinkado that I paper pieced (I love these guys!  So cute).  Most of the paper is Echo Park or scraps that I had.  This is a lot of pattern paper for me but I really tried to push myself, it turned out ok.  The vampire's cape is made of some black glitter paper.  For their hair I added some black enamel (Rangers), you can't see it very well in the pics.

Hope you all had a great Halloween.

Thanks for visiting!

Boo!

Two Halloween cards for you today.  It's just around the corner, so I popped these in the mail today.  The spider and sentiment are PTI and the background stamp is Hero Arts.  I use HA background stamps A LOT and knew when I bought the PTI set that I would be putting them together.  Erin Lincoln from PaperTrey Ink had the same idea and made a similar card (I would link it but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.  I know, bad eh?).

I love this Halloween set and will show you other projects I made using this set later this week.

Have a great week everyone!

Thanks for dropping by!

Baby Cards

I am so excited that my friend Michelle is having her first baby (it's a boy)!  I don't get to see her that often, but on our trip to Toronto this weekend I made sure to pop in for a visit.  I thought she might need a few thank you cards for all the presents she'll be getting at her baby shower, so I got busy making cards.  I love making baby cards, so this was a treat!

This last one is my favourite.  I love that cute giraffe!  The stamps and onesie die are all PTI.

Michelle loved the cards!  She liked them so much so, that she wants to use them to make a banner in the baby's room.  What a great idea!  Why didn't I think of that?!

Have a great week everyone!

Birthday card and Christmas card

I made this card for my niece Ava who's turning 4.  I love these stamps from PTI, soooo CUTE!  I don't love the way it turned out (I ran out of time) but I think my niece will like it anyway.

This next card is one of many Christmas cards to come.  I love making holiday cards, I could make them all year :)  For this one, I used Spellbinders Nestabilities ornament dies with some Close To My Heart paper.  The Noel stamp is from Michael's and the background stamp is HA.  This usually isn't my style of card to make but I like how it turned out.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in Canada!  Bring on the turkey!

Have a great weekend!

Halloween Cards

I haven't posted in soooo long!  It's been a little busy here but now that the kids are back in school I'm looking forward to going back into my craft room and crafting.

In the mean time, here are some Halloween cards I made last year for my kids.

I LOVE this felt ghost (Making Memories).  He's so cute!  My son still loves this card and likes to walk around the house with it.  I actually had to fix one of his eyes this week from all the wear and tear.

On this card, the stamp is so adorable (Inkadinkado).  I paper pieced these guys and added a Making Memories bat.

I'm hoping to make some new Halloween cards next week.

Have a great weekend everyone!
