I hope everyone had a blessed and safe Thanksgiving day. I want to share with you a bright fun birthday card today. To create the background on this card, I used the sponges to add the color to the cardstock. I sponged the Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Just Jade and Pacific Blue to get this look. This is an easy background to create.
This is my week #8 of my 10 weeks of Christmas. This project is a great box decorated for Christmas. You can decorate this box for any occasion that you need. I used our designer series paper to decorate this box along with Joy dies to decorate this box. Now I have a box all ready for the holidays, just need the gift to put inside. I have made quite a few gift boxes for this holiday season. It is a nice feeling being prepared for Christmas. Now to finish up my Christmas cards.
This is another fall themed Thanksgiving card that I created. I have enjoyed creating cards using our Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. I love the colors and designs in this designer series paper. I stamped the pumpkins and then colored them with our blends. Now to finished getting my cards in the mail.
This is a bright glimmer birthday card. We have this gimmer paper in our annual catalog and I used one end for the sunflower and the other end for the leaves. The glimmer paper has the yellow orange pink blue and green colors on the paper. I just used the dies to cut the full sunflower on the glimmer paper and then the outline of the sunflower and leaf dies on the black cardstock. I stamped the happy birthday in the versamark stamp pad, embossed in the white embossing powder and embossed it with the heat tool. After it cooled down, I then sponged it with the magenta madness stamp pap to give make in pink.
Here is a Thanksgiving card I would like to share for today. For this card I cut squares of cardstock and designer paper at 1.25" x 1.25" and laid them out on the very vanilla cardstock. It was fun to use these squares as the design base on these cards. I then stamped and punched the leaves and acorns to put on the squares. I sure have had fun this year creating different cards for Thanksgiving. My family will each be getting a different card.
Today we have my week #7 of my 10 weeks of Christmas. I would like to share with you a great holiday gift holder for the someone special who likes coffee. I used our mini coffee cups and mini coffee carrier and decorated it with the holiday season. Our warm wrap dies are great for the wrap on the mini coffee cups. I used our Heartwarming Hugs designer paper for the tag and the designer paper around the mini coffee carrier. The mini cups are great to put a gift card in and the other one you can fill with candies or you can put a small gift inside each one. Great to give the coffee lover.
Here is my week 6 of my 10 weeks of Christmas. I created a gift card holder with our rectangle tins. It was fun to decorate this tin. What is nice with this tin is that you can decorate it any way for any celebration you have. I am going to use it for small gift or to put a gift card inside for Christmas. I decorated the tin and then put the band on it, not real tight so it could be removed easy.
Here is a thanksgiving card I created. I have had fun using our Beautiful Autumn Bundle and the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Paper. I really like the colors used in this designer series paper. For this card I used our layering circles dies and cut a circle in the center of the very vanilla cardstock so I could put all the leaves and acorns around the circle cut out. This a beautiful thanksgiving card for me to send out.
This is my week 5 of my 10 weeks of Christmas. We have a snowflake card to share with you today. This bundle is one of my favorite bundles in our August - December catalog. This card is easy to create. I used our designer paper and die cuts to create this card. I really like the dies in this bundle. In the center of this card I used the die to create the center for the greeting and it is stitched around the designer paper. The only stamping is the greeting and then the inside of the card. I hope that you have been busy creating your Christmas cards.
Today's share is a fall themed grateful card. It is Sunday here in Southern California and we are having some cold weather. It is finally feeling like fall weather around here. I have quite a few different fall themed cards to share with you.
This card we made at our Fall Festive Stamp Retreat this past September. We used our new Beautiful Autumn Bundle on page 45 of our August - December catalog. This bundle includes the stamp set and 3 punches. I had so much fun using this bundle as you will see as I get the projects posted. I punched out the different leaves (2 leaf punches) and the acorn and arranged them around the circle piece.
I would like to share with you an elegant Christmas card. This project is week 4 of my 10 Weeks of Christmas. There is no stamping on this card except for the greeting inside the card. The designer paper and die cuts make this card. I really like the color of this card, it's not the typical color for a Christmas card. The designer paper has the beautiful copper on it.
