Some Cards for the Season

Here are a few of the cards I have made for the Christmas season and also a card for Thanksgiving. I used Razzleberry in every card. It is a great color and I‘ll have to stock up before it retires in the summer. The Melon Mambo and Razzleberry card and matching treat box is very no-traditional but I like being radical like that. :} The stamp set I used for three of the projects is SU hostess set in the Holiday Mini “Pattern Pines“. I liked this set as soon as I saw it in the mini and love all the stuff I’ve seen on split coast using it. On the Thanksgiving card I used a sizzix green die I have had for years of a maple leaf and then ran them through my Big shot using an textured folder. I hope you enjoy!! Have a good evening!!

3x3 Jingle Christmas Set

Good Afternoon everyone!! Hope everyone is having a good Friday. I’m off today and Monday from work so I’m enjoying mine a lot. I have been working on this 3x3 set this week after work . I used the SU Scallop Envelope Sizzix die to make the box. I also used the new ornament punch and stamp set from SU. This is the first project I have made with them but can’t wait to make more. I will have a busy day tomorrow. Both of my girls are going to homecoming. Autumn is a freshman this year so she excited this is her first homecoming. She is actually driving me a little nuts cause she is working so hard to make it “perfect”. My oldest daughter Kayla is a senior so this is her last homecoming. The dress shop she got her dress from totally messed up on her dress and its to late to find another so we are doing the best with what we have. She will still look beautiful but I’m sad that her last homecoming has been stressful and did not turn out like she expected. I will post picture this weekend of the big event.

Supplies I used:

Stamps: Delightful Decorations, Christmas Punch
Ink and Paper: From another catalog sell company

Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend!!!

Christmas Flip Page

Here is a flip page I worked on a few days ago. The top page is a 9 x 9 page protector glued to the back of the 12 x 12 underneath. I found a video tutorial on how to do this on Tresa Black’s Blog. It is a really cool u tube that shows two different ways to do interactive pages the technique I used is towards the end of the video. I used mostly SU products but the 9 x 9 and pattern paper is CTMH.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas Everyone!!! I hope all of you have a day full of wonderful memories. I wanted to upload a card I made for our niece and her husband for Christmas. We will be giving it to them today. Their gift is a “Night Out”. We got them movies certificates, O’ Charley card and Starbucks card. Everything they could need for a date night. I think I might me a little Snow Swirled obsessed. I love this set. Bethany loves brown and teal so I used those colors. This is like a card I made a few weeks back I just enlarged it. I used Choclate Chip textured and for the card holders I used the Sizzix fill folder.


Thanks for Visiting and Have Wonderful Christmas!!!

Snow Swirled Class

These are three of the five cards I will be having at my monthly card class this evening. I thought with the holidays coming it would be a good time to make some Christmas cards. I really like this set because it can easily be used on cards or scrap booking. As you can tell I like to use non-traditional colors on Christmas cards. I will be off from both jobs all next week for Thanksgiving so I hope to get more time to create and blog.

Have a great day and thanks for visiting!!!

Swap Cards

I join my first swap ever this week. Well I have swaped with the girls in my upline from SU before but never one where you make several cards and send them all to one person. The Swap was from Spitcoast it was on the forum of SU Demo users. It was a WOW 10 + 1 swap. I join two groups so I end up making two sets of eleven cards. You had to us only SU products and have four layers and three embellishments. I was a little low on Christmas looking paper so I had to reverse the pattern paper on the Kiwi and Riding Hood cards. Let me tell you I am a little nervous!!!! Will the Post office get my cards there safely?? Will everyone like my cards?? And many more questions pop into my head. I can’t wait to see everyone’s cards and let me tell you I’m not good at waiting!! I am getting a some Stampin’ Up! Goodies this week so that will have to tide me over until the cards come. Well I hope everyone has a good weekend!! I need to go eat before I fall over faint.

June Christmas Card Challenge

Today I worked on my June CCC08. I realized today that I didn’t make any cards in May for the challenge. My life was just to busy to get to them. I’m just going to let them go and not stress my self out about it. I made this set with a one sheet wonder I came up with for my stamp camp in April. You have to use a 12x12 double sided pattern paper.








First cut is 5 inch then two cuts at 3 ¾ in. ea., you will get three pieces. These pieces I cut in half either way and place on the same card. This is why you need a double sided pattern paper cause I turn on piece over and glue one on top and one on the bottom.

The next cut is 4 in. and then three cuts at 3 in. ea. this will make four pieces.

The last strip left you make two cuts 4 in. ea. this will give make three pieces.

When all cutting is done you only have a small piece of paper left. So there is not much waste and you have enough pieces to make 10 cards.

Supplies I used:
Basic Grey Figgy Pudding-Nestled pattern paper, SU Cranberry Crisp, Cool Caribbean, River Rock, Very Vanilla Card Stock
River Rock, Cranberry Crisp Ink
All Through the Year, Flakey Friends, Seasonal Scribbles (TAC) Stamp Sets
Scallop Punch, Circle Punch, SU Ribbon Cranberry Crisp and River Rock

I know it is odd doing Christmas Cards in spring but I checked out Beate’s Challenge when I got home from work today and knew right off that I wanted to use it for my March Christmas Card Challenge. I signed up for the CCC and had yet to get March done. So I seriously need to get caught up. I mean it is almost April.
I love this set that was in the Holiday mini. It is probably my fav. Christmas set that I have. Just think when I first looked at it in the mini I did not want it. But like a lot of sets I own as soon as I checked out what all the talented ladies on split coast where creating with it I just had to have it. I am so glad I purchased it!!

Supplies I used:
Season of Joy, Lots of Thoughts
Real Red, Glorious Green, Whisper White card stock

Some Assembly Required SC155

When I saw this sketch challenge a few weeks ago I thought of this stamp set. I had to print the sentiment on my computer because amazingly out of the hundreds of stamps I have this is a sentiment I did not have. Haha!! I have mentioned it before but in case you are checking me out for the first time, my resolution this year is to not only join the Christmas Card Challenge but to make 20 card instead of 10. I like to give cards for soldiers to send home every year and this year I want to have a lot ready. I am way ahead now because I am using some new stamps I have gotten lately. I’m sure before long I will not be a month ahead!! ;) I used paper I found at Hobby Lobby and as soon as I saw it knew I wanted to use gable green with it.
