Here comes Santa Claus

 

I have been very anxious to do one of these bendie cards for the holidays.  This one was quite fun to make.  I used lots of those cute holiday buttons and just clipped the shank off of them so they would lay more flat.  There are a few diecuts used by Memory Box and the snow was added with my snow pen that is almost gone!  Hope I can find another one as I really like it.  Happy holiday crafting!

 

It is so good to be back in my craft room.  I made many Halloween cards but did not have time to photograph them before mailing out.  I did lots of the Prima Doll cards all dressed up for Halloween and I was very pleased with how they turned out.  So, this is a card I just made this morning.  Lots of die cuts used in this one.  The little children are a cutting from Graphic 45 papers.  I added snow to the window and lamp post.  These are mostly Sizzix and Memory Box dies.  The brick background is an embossing folder that I have distressed.  Have a wonderful day and thanks for dropping by!

Warm Wishes

I'm back with a fun holiday tag to share.  The background was run through a mixture of several distress stains by Tim Holtz.  I sprayed some gold mist in the stains as well.  I dried the tag.  Then I stamped several images with gold embossing ink.  I embossed Tim's deer in gold.  The pointsettia dies were also dabbed with distress stains and dried.  I sprinkled some glitter in the stain too.  I embossed a pearl in gold since I didn't have a gold bling for the center of the flower.  The burlap ribbon is from HL. The tree stamps at the bottom is by Memory Box.  The snowflakes stamp is by Tim Holtz.  Have a fun crafty day!

Glory to God

I am finally back with a holiday card.  I have had 2 computers crash on me in the past few weeks so posting cards has been impossible.  I am finally getting a few made though so that is good.  This is a new "chalkboard stamp" by ODBD that I ordered and really like it.  It is stamped in black on white paper thus the chalkboard look.  The pointsettia and leaves are dies by Memory Box.  I bought a bolt of this burlap ribbon to add to some of my cards.  The papers are from my stash.  Have a great day!

 

Halloween bag card

Hope your fall day is going well!  It is so beautiful here in Colorado...finally!  It's been a rough year for us but hopefully we are on the mend and can stay out of the news for awhile.  So, this is a fun die...cute bag to use for many occasions.  Our LSS has kraft paper that is a good weight for these bags.  I added a few stickers to the front and made a tag (which I forgot to pull out of the bag to include in the picture - sorry).  There is a bit of tulle behind the bag.  Quick and easy! 

Wedding card

Here is a wedding card I made using a Lily of the Valley stamp.  The papers are leftovers from a kit I ordered from Button Farm.  They are Kaisercraft papers.  The cut out behind the wedding couple is also from those same papers.  I added a little SU stamped tag and some bling and ribbons.  This will go with the little book I made for them using these papers.
Happy crafting!

Bohemian Card

Today I have a Bohemian Bazaar Card to share made with Graphic 45 papers.  It is one of those trifold stair step cards that are easy to make and the directions for various ones can be googled.  I just cut the papers to fit the folds and added embellishments.  The butterflies are 3D stickers from my stash that tied in well with the colors of the papers.  Have a great weekend!
