Holiday Trees in Threes

These 3 trees were actually cut from designer paper. The papers are by Basicgrey, the Wassail collection. I cut the trees and then made a tree trunk with ribbon. The stars are punched out. The lacy edging is also a punch. The papers are all by Basicgrey and Bazzill. Pretty simple!

Colorado is rather cool today! It was about 45 degrees today and it looks like it is going to snow! It's quite a change from the past 2 days where it was in the low 80's! Tomorrow it will be colder! Have a cool day!!!

A Happy Christmas

I got too busy on another major holiday project yesterday so didn't get time to post anything. I have lots of cards to post but will save them for when I am gone next week.
This is from Grahic 45's Christmas Past Collection. It's a punch out! I punched out the center image and popped it up with dimensionals. The outer frame is mounted on gold metallic paper. There is a beautiful SILK ribbon from Sharon Johnson that I threaded under the image and tied in a bow. This is just so elegant! Have a great day!

Snowmen

Aren't these the cutest guys? I just love them! They are by Firecracker Designs. I stamped the image and then colored and cut it out. One of the signs is also stamped twice and then popped up - and I like that better! I just cut out a few hills for him to stand on. I thought about putting some snow all over but didn't want the mess and I'm sure the recipient will be thankful. The background paper is by Paper Salon - if I remember right! I'm heading to Colorado next week so maybe I will have the opportunity to see some of these guys in real life!!! Wouldn't that be fun! It's supposed to be back up to 98 this weekend in Phoenix so it will be nice to get away to some cooler temps!

Easel card

I've been wanting to try these "easel" cards and I think this will be a style of card I will do more often! I needed an anniversary card so found this K & Company paper in my stash. I embossed some SU hearts with clear embossing powder 4 times. I then just cut them out and popped them up with dimensionals. I added pearls to the hearts for added elegance. The punched border is by Martha Stewart. The button on the base holds the top part of the card up and open. The sentiment was also stamped and embossed. I made a double bow with my BowEasy to tie it all together! Have a great day!

Another Thanksgiving Card!

Hope you're having a great day!!! I used my 50% off coupon for Michael's today and got me some Tim Holtz scissors! They are WONDERFUL!!! They really make a big difference when cutting out stamps mounted on EZ Mount. The gooey mess is gone! I don't know how I managed without them!!!

I've had several requests for Thanksgiving cards so I'm busy trying to get some made. Here is another one...
This card was made using the Just Rite stamps. I colored the pumpkins with my Copics. I stamped it twice and cut out the center and popped it up with dimensionals. I added a few punched leaves to the sides. The ribbon is made with my BowEasy. The papers are SU. Have a great week and see you tomorrow!

Vintage Thanksgiving Card

I hope you are having a great weekend! I am sneaking in another Thanksgiving card I just made. I got the image from a pad of seasonal images by Crafty Secrets. I just love them! So, this was a simple card. The background paper was embossed with a SU embossing plate that my friend gave me. I think it's going to become a favorite of mine! It can be used for so many different occasions. The papers are SU and Bazzill. The ribbon is SU. I have another Thanksgiving card to post tomorrow so come back and visit!

Masculine Birthday Card

This was a tough card to dream up! My brother-in-law's birthday is coming up real quick and I needed something sports related for him. I ALWAYS have a tough time with men's cards but this one came together rather nicely for a change. I had several single sports ball stamps and stamped each of them and then just colored the images with my Copics. I then cut them out and mounted them on some distressed paper. The balls are stamps by Stampabilities. The sentiments are all one stamp that I have cut apart and popped up with dimensionals. It is a Great Impressions stamp and is perfect for him! The papers are all by SU. I hope he likes it! Have an awesome day!
