Snowflake Glimmer Card

Today post is week 3 of my 10 weeks of Christmas posts.  I used our large snowflake die in this bundle to get the fun snowflake on this card.  I did put a piece of balmy blue glimmer paper behind the snowflake to give it is glimmer.  I stamped the smaller snowflakes on the whisper white cardstock to make my own designer paper.  I did do the stamp off method for this snowflakes, ink the stamp and stamp on scrap paper and then on the white cardstock (sometimes twice).  I didn't want the snowflakes to be real dark, just wanted a little color.  This is a fun and easy easy Christmas card to make.

Season of Thanks Card

I would like to share a fun fall theme card I created.  You can change the greeting and make it a thank you or birthday card. I made my card a thanksgiving card or a thank you card.  When I stamped the leaves, I then took the sponges and added a little color to leaves.  I used the mango melody and pumpkin pie to add the color on the leaves.  The leaves in the early espresso have the die cut impression on them.  I hope you enjoyed the card today.

Sunflower Celebrate You Card

This is one of favorite bundles from our annual catalog. It is a bright and cheery card to create.  I stamped the sunflower and colored it in with our blends.   I then used the Wink of Stella glitter pen to give it some glitter.  This is a fun and easy to card to create.  It is fun to create beautiful bright cards to send to people to encourage them.  I hope you enjoy sending cards out for encouragement.

Happy Birthday Card

Here is a bright and colorful birthday card I created.  This a fun card to create.  I took a piece of the Ornate Garden Specialty designer series paper that had a white background and the gold foil flowers on it.  Then I took the daubers  and colored in the flowers.  I started with the darkest to light in the colors.  It was fun to use the daubers to color in the paper, you can create with any colors to customize a card.

Hark the Herald Angels Sing Card

I would like to share with you a elegant Christmas card.  Here is my week #2 of Christmas.  I embossed the greeting on this card in gold.  I like to create cards that I can emboss on.  When I first learned to stamp, I embossed a angel in gold on my first Christmas cards I made.  I learned to not emboss with the ceiling fan on high.  I had gold embossing powder everywhere.

This is a fun and elegant card to give during the holiday season.  I used our brushed metallic cardstock and an embossing folder to give it a design on the metallic cardstock.  The gilded gems gives a little more sparkle.

Snowflake Sparkle Card

This is my first share of a Christmas project for this holiday season.  Here is my week #1 of Christmas.  This past weekend I was working on our projects for our Christmas class and this is one of our projects.  I live in Southern California the it was in the high 90's, still having summer like weather.  So it was really hard to get my mind in the Christmas season.  Thank goodness for my Christmas music to help get my mind on the holidays.

I love to have at least one navy (or blue) card in the Christmas that cards I create.  This was a fun card to create.  I used our dies to cut the snowflakes.  The designer paper was perfect to giving a design on the card.  I love our balmy blue glimmer paper we have.  It added just the sparkle to this card.

I would like to share with you a cute Halloween treat box I created.  It is a cute small box that will hold a copy of small pieces of candy.  We made this treat boxes at our September class.  I used our little treat box dies to create this cute treat box.  I enjoyed coloring in the pumpkin with our blends.  For coloring in the little bat behind the pumpkin, I used the light black blend only.  I used the spider web die on the basic black card stock.
