Card and Gift all in One!

Hi everyone!  I finally felt like making a card today.  I seem to be in a major slump since The new Year.  I hope it comes to an end soon!

Here is my card.  It is an easel card and the cool thing is it has a calendar inside that the recipient of this card can keep it on their desk!  I got the idea from a friend of mine, here is a link to her blog. http://clfphoto.blogspot.com/.

The image is called Fairy Teacup  and is from Moe’s Digital pencil.

• SU paper and dp. it K&Company.
• I used Spellbinder dies, SU scalloped boarder punch, ribbon, dimensionals, brads and stickles.
• The calendar template can be found here-http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/templates-f143/cats-2012-checkbook-cover-calendar-t519138.html.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Too Many Digis????

Maybe……….oh heck….yes!!!!!!!  I colored up this digi a while ago and do you think I can remember the company it came from???????  I give up looking for now.

I think I need to start marking each image when I print them off so I know where they come from.

When I came across this image today I knew what the card should look like before I started.

Here is the card-

Here is a side view so you can see the layers.

Happy Monday!

Hi everyone!  It is a cold Monday morning here in central Canada….although it is warmer than what is coming!!!!

Last week a new set was released over at The Paper Shelter, called Vintage Christmas.  This is an amazing set of images and sentiments!  I think if you are someone who wants to make your Christmas cards but don’t want to spend a lot of money on all the “stuff” you think you need, then this is for you.

Here are 2 cards I made-

 

 

 

On this card I used ribbon and dimensionals. Now if you don’t have a Big Shot to cut the corner dies you could use pearls or rhinestones!

 

On this card I used ribbon, pearls, and stickles to add some glitter.  Both cards have digital Christmas paper which can also be purchased at The Paper Shelter.

See how easy it can be without alot of supplies!

Hope you go look at this kit plus many other Christmas printables available!

Thanks for stopping by and remember…..our Blog Hop starts this Wed. December 7th!!!!!

Here you can see all the loops I made with the gold ribbon.

The image is called Getting Ready For Christmas
The digital paper is called Christmas Spirit
I colored the image with Copic markers.  Outlined the image with a gold felt pen. I used SU scalloped border punch, Spellbinder oval die, gold ribbon, glue dots, gold beads, dimensionals and liquid appliqué for the fur.

Christmas

WOW…is time ever moving fast!!!  November tomorrow!!  I figured I had better get busy and get working on some Christmas cards made.

Here are two I did last week.

The image for this one is from Bonibleaux Designs. I love this image!! LOL!

I used my mini bells I got from Stampin Up.

The second card is made with a free digital sentiment from the newest issue of Paper Crafts Magazine.  The flower I made using a new flower punch from EK Success. Because if the depth of the flower this would not be a card you would want to mail!

Close up of the flower.

Hope you are all having a great Monday!

Bye for now!
