Merry Christmas Dear

By Cards

Hi All,

This is part 2 to my other post today. I used the same techniques for this card (inktense pencils and color blending). This stamp set from Simon is great for sentiments with a play on words. I thought the play on ‘deer’ vs. ‘dear’ was adorable.

Here’s the deer that I colored using Inktense pencils.

I’m hoping to have a few more cards done before the craft show and can’t wait to share them with you soon!

‘Tis The Season

By Cards

Hi All,

‘Tis the season to be Freezin’. I love how my auto-correct would love to change that to f-r-e-e-z-i-n-g. Nice try there.

I found this gem of a sentiment over at Miss Kate Cuttables. I am not entirely sure if it is in fact miss kate making the cuttables, but I am thankful for some of her really fun die-cut shapes. Be sure to check her out on facebook if you are interested in cuttable shapes and she even has options for obtaining images for commercial use.

I found this frame in a dark oak brown and ended up painting it heirloom white to give it a new identity. I then pulled out my Silhouette (cutting machine) to size up these images to fit the frame . To make the words POP i colored them with stamp markers and then added some silver glittered accents to make them look icy.

The entire image sits on a wood-grain background – which is super difficult to see, but I promise it’s there.

Snowman Christmas Gift Topper

By Cards, Planner Stationary & Accessories

Hi All,

How about a kids-craft today? If you’re like me, presentation in a gift is just as important as the actual gift. I believe this cute idea originated from Faythchik777 (she’s a fellow crafter on YouTube) who was kind enough to share the idea with her viewers. These little snowmen can be attached to gift bags, baskets, presents, pens, pencils, and the list goes on.

..did you notice the eyes?

I likely be adding these to the gifts I give out to kids this year. It just might replace all my bows. Somehow, I think some adults will want these too! =)

 

Hey readers! What is your favorite way to decorate a gift? Whether it’s the weekly of a sales ad, ornate wrapping paper, or the ‘wrap this gift’ option on amazon..I’d love to know!

Joy to the World

By Cards

Hi All,

I got another Christmas card to share with you today! For this card I wanted to try out a new shape and design. I designed the entire card using my silhouette cutting machine and some good quality cardstock.

By the way, I have a sentiment on the inside (I will post a picture over on etsy). It reads “Merry Everything”. LOL It covers all your holiday wishes for family and friends.
