New Christmas Cards

I haven't posted any cards for a while as I was making 60 for a friend of mine. Here they are.

Regional Swap Card

Here is a very similar card I used for my swaps. Instead of the lighter green, I used Artichoke and I used gold glass glitter instead of silver and I used dazzling diamonds around the merry christmas in read instead of color. As soon as I can, I will post the cards I received from the swaps.

* Christmas Cards

I remade my door card. It now looks like my front door from the inside. One of the cards you may notice very old (from at least two years ago) DSP paper. I am using this up to make cards to sell at the craft fair. But notice the paper beads I made from the DSP paper. Aren't they cute? You will see more of them on current stuff. The last card is the Christmas Collage. I may use them for a swap I am in but haven't decided yet.

Jean contacted me last night was very excited to be the winner of the blog candy. It is on its way today. Everyone else, keep trying.

Christmas Again

Here is a Christmas Card made just from the DSP and a punch and ribbon.

Christmas Again

Here is another Christmas Card I did. I love the new Christmas DSP and the glass glitter. I hope that stays around and it would be nice to have a crystal one. When I scanned the card, some of the glitter came off ( you will see where) cause it isn't supposed to be there.. Enjoy and have a good day.

Handmade Christmas Cards

And finally here are some handmade Christmas Cards. The new textured gold paper is used on one card. It will be available in the mini as will the rest of the stamps.

Happy Cards

After all my griping today, I sat down and made some cards. I desperately needed some masculine cards so I made two of them and then another Christmas card. Hope you like them. Today I am going to make a birthday card.... For myself. I turn 60 today and making cards (besides seeing my daughter which I won't be able to) is the only thing that makes me feel better.

Vintage Christmas

I took two of the Christmas DSP from the mini that match the fabrics and weaved them with 1/2" lengths. I cut them to the size I wanted, embossed it with the Lattice embossing folder and glued them to my card. I added another piece of DSP like ribbon and on top of that added one of my flowers I made from the fabric. I embossed in silver (to match the vintage brad) the Merry Christmas and offset it with versamark. I really like the look of this. It has a very vintage look to it. Hope you all like it.

New Christmas Card

I had to make another Christmas card from the new stuff from the mini.

I took the DSP from the mini and cut it into 1/2 strips then glued them in a row. I then cut what width I wanted. I made a flower from strips of material that I tore. I used one of the glitter brads in the middle of the flower. Hope you enjoy it. 

Singing Rudolph

Most of you know I was looking for the singing reindeer. Thanks to all your help, I found it. Here is my version of it. I made the songbook with MDS. The brown is Early Espresso, The red is Cherry Cobbler and the blue is Baja breeze. The whire was accented with moonlight smooch. I used a non SU embossing folder but when my snowflake embossing folder from the winter catty comes in, I will use that. Too bad the music one isn't stampin' up because it is actually perfect for this card.

Working on my Christmas Cards

Here are two cards I made. I am working on my big seller (2 Fall Festivals in October) so now is the time to start making Christmas Cards. I have made a lot lately and I will not show them all because I don't have the time to scan all the cards. Since I have been laid up, I have at least made 10 cards a day but they are not all Christmas. The second card is all MDS except for the crystal effects I put on the colored dots.

Another Card from the flood

isn't this the cutest card. I love it.

Christmas

I have been so behind in posting on this blog and Christmas is right around the corner. In the next week I will be posting all my Christmas cards, both made by me and from my friends. I hope you enjoy them.
I hope you are getting ready for Christmas that is stress free.

Christmas Ornaments

I saw someone make a card like this using the sweet cups as a snow globe and then I started thinking, why not make it into an ornament. Thing how many different designs you can make. I used the circle cutter for the outside border. I think next time I would put a piece of cardboard in between to make the paper more durable and even. Enjoy!

Card made from FaceBook SS Card Kit Swap

Here is the card I made for this swap this month. The theme was Christmas in July.

1st Christmas card for 2009

This is the first Christmas Card I am posting for 2009. I have others but they will come later. This is using the one stamps under $10 that is in the back of the catty. It also uses the new "In Colors" and the new snowflake stamp. I used crystal effects on the reindeer and the snowflake. The sentiment came from Teeny Tiny Words.
