Birthday Card

I have been busy lately and haven't made any cards.   But I did make this card for a friend on her birthday.  I have included the photo of the inside.  Again I have added a flower which I very rarely do, but this card just called for one. I tend to go overboard and I don't apologize for that, I love embellishments, especially ones that are free and easy to make. The friend I gave this card to took the idea here and made a Christmas Card. That is what you do to make a card your own. 
Pearls have been my favorite embellishment lately.

Christmas Card

This card is far from fancy, but I like it because it looks old.  I used some designer paper with green stripes on one side then took a piece of cardstock and used a border punch to cut along both sides for the middle. Green ribbon covers it.  I used a large Stampin Up stamp for the other side, the "25" is also from that stamp in another color cut in a circle and layer on top of a scalloped circle....everything was sponged on the edges.

Christmas Card

I made this card from the Stamp Up stamps that were for Thanksgiving, but thought it would look great for a Christmas Card.  I used an embossing folder from Stampin Up also.  Red Cardstock from Gina K along with some gold ribbon, the center stamp was embossed with gold embossing powder. Soon I will get more detailed with how and what I have been making my cards with, along with some websites where the items can be bought.



Christmas Card

Here is another Christmas Card.  I get so excited about making Christmas Cards, but not really a Christmas lover.  I find Christmas to be way to hectic and not as exciting as it use to be. I would be satisfied with all the family getting together enjoying good food and family time, and celebrating the reason we celebrate Christmas..on to the card now..... This card was made with stamps from Stampin up, I stitched around the edge of the paper with gold thread.  Tied a red ribbon to complete the card.  Also I believe the cardstock for this card was craft type cardstock layered with red.

Christmas Reindeer

These may not be the traditional colors of Christmas but I just had to try to see what this would look like.  He is such a cute reindeer.  I used stampin up stamp for the greetngs, and the circle cutter for the circles and the scalloped punch for the large circle and used the white gel pen to make fake stitches around the red circle..  I also inked the edges lightly.. I really enjoyed making this card.

Birthday card

This card has been one of my favorites only because of it's color.  I usually don't add a lot of flowers to my cards but in recent post you can see I have done that a lot.  The designer paper is from a pad I purchased from Gina K designs along with the cardstock.  The brad that I used for the ribbon is from Stampin Up.

This was a fun card to make.  I used punches, stamps and ribbon of course.   I'm not sure where the paper came from but I think it was a single sheet that I bought.

Top Note Christmas Boxes

                                                     The Deer is "Dasher" from Stampin Up.

                 The Ornament is a stamp from Stampin Up and cut out with the Stampin UP punch.

                                                The Stamp here is from Stampin Up. 

These are nice little boxes for treats or whatever you would like to put in them.  The are made with the TopNote from Stampin Up.  I found the instructions on Youtube. They were made with Gina K cardstock and the designer paper was a pad of Christmas Paper and I can't remember the name.  Dasher is a stamp from Stampin UP, he is a cutie.
