Hi All,

I hope you are all doing better than I am with all of your holiday shopping. I can’t believe that we are only a few days away! WOW! I’ve been cranking away in my craft room creating some cards for friends and family. Today I used some fun Christmas tags as a focal point for these cards.

Check ’em out!

I absolutely love the way these turned out! I think my favorite part is that these cards are gender neutral. They are the type of cards you’re not ashamed to give a coworker/classmate and have to walk away slightly embarrassed that the card might be a little too cutesy. I know you know what i’m talking about! Anyhow, I’m off to tackle my holiday list… I may even sneak a few of these cards into some boxes.

Warm wishes ~ JS

Handmade Flowers For Handmade Wreaths

By Room Decor

Hey all,

As promised I’m here today with an entirely new project. It’s something a little outside the norm but entirely handmade. As many of you may know, yarn wreaths are totally ‘in’ right now. You can surf through Pinterest and find hundreds of different styles and techniques to making a nice big wreath for your front door or home decor. But there are absolutely no posts (or should i say ‘pins’) on making them miniature. I wanted to make some small ones that could be used to decorate smaller knick-knacks around the house.

I made a quick trip to our local craft store for some yarn and felt…and got to work. Here’s the finished project!

I experimented with some stiff felt to create the flowers you see here. Also, I love to distress things and inked up some of the flowers for a more vintage look (yes they were all originally white)!

Here’s another look at those flowers.

And guess what? I just may have a few extras too.

I’ve got more projects lined up to share with you tomorrow. See you then! =)

Holiday Gift Card Holder Using SVG Cut Files – Part 4 of 4

Hi all,

It’s Christmas EVE! Can you believe it? I am so excited for this upcoming holiday season to begin. I wish each and every one of my readers a very Merry Christmas & hope you have a wonderful holiday with your loved ones. But before I go on my holiday hiatus, I want to share the last of my gift card holders. I love this paper stack I’ve been using for the card series from DCWV. The designs are so subtle yet the perfect touch to these designs. The sentiment is a free SVG from SVGcuts.com.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

Holiday Gift Card Holder Using SVG Cut Files – Part 3 of 4

Hi all,

We’re on to card 3 of the series and I have to say that I am truly enjoying making each one of these. They are so simple to make since they are done on SCAL2.

We’re on to card 3 of the series and I have to say that I am truly enjoying making each one of these. They are so simple to make since they are done on SCAL2. SVGCuts has been a phenomenal discovery for me to work with. Today’s gift card holder was made for a male recipient. I used a decorative red snowflake pattern on the back to make it look like a colorful tissue paper was added. I also split up the front into several different designed layers. I love the way that worked out since some of the pieces were scraps of the previous projects. But nothing about this bag says “leftover”. My husband loved the detailing in the faux stitching and stated that it made a great accent. Overall, again I’m very happy with the turn out on this project.

 

Supplies:

Cardstock: DCWV Christmas Combo Stack & Holiday Collection Stack (for bag), K & Company (Winter Wonderland Sentiment)
Ribbon: Sold-By-Spool Ribbon (AC Moore)
Pen: White Gel Pen

The Giftbag & Sentiment were cut from SVGCuts.com free SVGS – They were then put into SCAL for editing.

Thanks for stopping by & feel free to leave comments!
