Early Morning Christmas Card

At 5 am. my mind was racing with ideas for a Christmas Card, my mind was working so hard but my body was still laying there in bed, finally enough was enough, I had to get up and put this all together.  It isn't a card that required a lot of work, but needless to say, I had to use my minds ideas to complete it.  The card base is Gina K Designs card stock, and I embossed it with Stampin Up embossing folder, the sentiment is a clear stamp I found in my stash.  I used corsage pins for the pearl embellishment, along with extra pearls I thread on the pin to make it more dressy.  This is my Early Morning Christmas Card.

This is the inside of my Early Morning Christmas Card.  I used the nestibilities (book) label for the sentiment to be used.  I didn't include a sentiment on this card as I thought it would be nice to wait and find the right sentiment.  I used the branch punch from Martha Stewart, I bought it at Walmart and the small flower is a punch from Michael's.

Stampin Up Christmas Card

This is totally a Stampin Up card.  Everything on this card came from Stampin Up.  Pam and I spent the day yesterday working on this card for a Stampin Up Party.  We both made this card that is why my watermark is not listed on the card.  It is really a nice card.  But after we got the card done we realized that we had another idea for the party.  Isn't that the way it usually goes.

This is the inside of the Stampin Up Christmas Card.  I took the photo at an angle so you could see the embossing on the greeting area.  I really like this card.

Brown Snowflake Card

I made this card the other day, I saw the paper and then realized I needed to make a card in brown.

The card base is Gina K pure luxury paper, the label is from Stampin Up and the snowflakes are from a punch, not sure what brand.  Ribbon is from Walmart..the brown paper is a pad of paper I bought a while back.  I used Stampin Up glimmer mist on the background paper.  It was a little different for me.

Happy Birthday

Embossing,  Ink, Rich Razzleberry Paper, Ribbon, Stamps and inside is all Stampin UP.

I made this card a while back and wanted to share it here, Yes, it will probably take a box to ship it

because of the flower, but still a nice card. 

This is the inside of the card. The stamp is Stampin Up which I added pearls.

Reindeer Easel Card

This is an Easel Card, I do like making them but they take a little more paper so I tend to make regular cards.  Most everything here is from Stampin Up, except for the paper and ribbon, the stamps and punch are from Stampin Up and the square was just cut with my cutter.  Easel cards are nice to give for Christmas since we tend to diplay our cards for a long period of time.

Snowflake Card

I was up early this morning after a night of not sleeping because my mind was thinking of card creations I could make, so this morning after breakfast I headed to the scrapbook room for some stress relief.  I made this card this morning, I can't say it is anything that I was thinking while being wide awake. I used several things here.  The glimmer mist I used on the red snowflake paper was a nice touch, this can be found at  Stampin Up   The scalloped circle is also from Stampin up along with the large snowflake.  The paper is K & Company which I bought at Michaels...the ribbon I believe is also Stampin Up. As always I used            Gina K  pure luxury paper for the card base.

This is the inside of the card.  I really think it is important that you continue your creativity inside your cards too.  You get so much more out of your cards when you take the time to do a little something on the inside to make it just as special as the outside.  The person receiving the card will appreciate it too.  Sometimes I do not sign my cards.  This gives the person you gave it to,the opportunity to send it to a friend or family member as a gift, so your gift was a gift for someone else.  I just include a small loose note with a personal greeting, they can do the same and the card can be sent to several people........maybe it is being GREEN! 

But it is a cool idea.  You will never know you could start a Christmas Card Chain.. 

Farm Sketch Christmas Card

I made this card this evening using a smaller version of the farm sketch. I really like how it turned out.  I used the K & Company Yuletide Christmas Paper, a border punch from Martha Stewart, can't remember the name...all of this I bought at Michael's.  I used some cream ribbon along with the Martha Stewart Branch Punch to trim out the corner....and a small flower punch with which I used some pearls.  I really like pearls on the corners.

This is the inside of the card.  I used the Martha Stewart Branch Punch and the small flower punch....I used a silver button tied with red thread...pearls added in the corner....used the topnote from Stampin Up.

Our Christmas Card Sketch

This is a Christmas Card I made today.  I used K & Company Yuletide Paper, I purchased mine at Michael's.  I used Martha Stewart double looped punch also bought at Michael's.  Ribbon is by Stampin Up.

I used pearls also from Stampin Up.  The deer is also from Stamp Up, and I used "Merry Christmas" stamp which was from Stampin Up and embossed with gold embossing powder.  I used some stickles to put a  little sparkle on the paper

  This is the inside of the card.  This sketch was done by a daughter of a good friend of mine, who seems to have a talent for her art.  This is of our farm and I thought it would be great to add to a card.  I would like to add some more embellishments to it but I thought for now I would leave it this way.

Gatefold Christmas Card

This is a gatefold card.  I saw a sample on Stamptv and thought I would give it go with a design of my own.  A gatefold card is usually hard to keep shut, so I used card magnets, which you can also buy at Stamptv, they are awesome magnets and work very well.  The Large label is Nestabilities label 14 and the stamp set is also from Stamptv.  The smaller tag is a punch from STampin Up and the small sentiment, I have no idea where it is from but it is cute.  The large button is also from Stamp Up, and I always use Gina K pure luxury cardstock, great for cards.  I also used a cuddlebug folder to emboss the white cardstock. 

Birthday Card

I actually made this card for a friend and I always take photos of all the cards I make, but she didn't pick this card (I let her pick the one she wanted) so I am posting this today.  It was actually made from a sketch I seen on the internet and thought I would try my hand at my touch on this.
