Friday, December 30th

Are you ready for 2023?? It surely fast approaching. Today I would like to share some Christmas dies from Tim Holtz. Again, I didn't want to stop making the cards. These are called Christmas cut outs.

                  Had fun using background paper that otherwise, might had been throw away. These are watercolored papers. Perfect. 

                            

                                 Thanks for looking & stay warm!

Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS.. Hoping you are having a wonderful day! So far we watched Its A Wonderful life this morning! We hadn't seen many of the oldies this year, so we were glad to see it. Speaking of a 'wonderful life.'. It is a wonderful life, thanks to that miracle birth of 2000 plus years ago! Hallelujah Jesus Christ is born. 

I did these cards a couple months ago and just didn't get around to showing you. They are easy Spellbinders 'foil' die and a greeting in the center diamond. Maybe a little greenery around the edges. 

                                          

 

                      These all went out to the nursing home here. 

 

                               A Merry Christmas to all!

Saturday

Good Morning! It is December 17th ,and just 8 days to Christmas! Hope everyone is looking forward to this season. We had a quiet Thanksgiving and Christmas will be only the relatives that live here. Today I will share a few random cards made over the year. So lets get started.

3-D Poinsettia embossing folder from Tm Holtz . Prettier in 'real' life!

                         Haven't made a center step card in a long time. The 'center' image is from Heartfelt creations paper pack.

              A little variation on the 'gazebo' from Pinkfresh studio.               Lots of watercolor splatters & gems.     

                                             

                          Card fronts with older Pion papers.                 

                                Couple cutie cards. This is an Art Impression snowman and friends. Love the bunny & the birdie! 

 

 

                                       Thanks for looking!

Well hello again! I almost had this done and lost it. Oh no! It is a quick post, so I will try again.

These are Gemini dies and they are an intricate card front. All I did was add colored cs to the bells, ornaments, even the candy canes after cutting. Finish with an additional layer to cover the colors on the inside back of the card. 

                              Just a couple more.....

                                        

                                     There is more.............

                               Okay I will call it done for tonight!

                                          Thanks for looking!

 Good morning, good morning. I have a couple sets of cards to show today. Lets just see how far I get!

           This is a Lawn Fawn cover die. The Christmas elves are "north pole littles" from Hello Bluebird stamps. Sooo cute!

                                         

                      Maybe one that is not necessarily for a child

                                      

 This isn't a favorite, although it could be embellished later... um..

                                     Thanks for looking today!

December 2nd!

It is Friday already! And, it is even getting colder here. Lets just get started. I made so many cards that I liked, yes liked, and wanted to keep doing. Here is my first selection. This is the Pinkfresh Merry & bright hot foil die.

       This looks alittle redundant, but, I used a plaid background stamp from Concord & 9th. Pink fresh has a die & stencil set called festive something (leaves maybe). They used that, but I didn't have the set. I used Tim Holtz various foilage dies behind the words.

                  Stick with me! These are a  'Swirl' stencil from Pinkfresh studio! I even used the colors from the package cover, along with some silver paste sprinkled with glitter. Used the Merry & Bright in pastel colors. Hope you like these. You will see the swirl again, maybe in a birthday or anniversary card.

                                   Thanks for looking!
