It's Heartfelt Wednesday

Happy hump day everyone...we are that much closer to another weekend!!! YEAH!!!!  Today I've got a Heartfelt Creations card I made with the newest release " Sparkling Poinsettia".  This card has a lot of layers going on that really add to the interest.  The stamping and layers make this card shine on it's own without have to add a lot of other elements.  I think it lets the collection speak for itself. 

Be sure to stop by Heartfelt Creations blog today and you can get a complete listing of supplies used for this card but also step by step instruction for how to create it yourself.  Plus remember there are tons and I mean tons of other projects by the rest of the design team to check out.  Have a great rest of the week and happy crafting.

Christmas is right around the corner with Graphic 45

 

 

It may not seem like it, but now is the season to start those Christmas cards and projects.  Graphic 45 makes that super easy with their latest collection release " Twas the Night Before Christmas".  Of course it brings that vintage flair that G45 is known for to all of your projects. 

 

Today is a card I created for Graphic 45 and it full of lots of layers.  I fussy cut out the holly leaves and then layered them back up with foam tape for a lot of dimension. 

 

 

 

I always like to sew with a sewing machine around my cards...I think it just gives that extra touch of detail and another layer of interest. 

Don't forget to include decoration on the interior of your cards.  It's just as important for the receiver to be thrilled when they open the card as when they open the envelope. 

Be sure to hop over to Graphic 45's Blog today and see more beautiful projects created by the design team using "Twas the Night Before Christmas"  and I'll see you on Friday. 

Things Are Merry and Bright with KaiserCraft

Just thought I would share a quick card I made using KaiserCraft's November release of Merry and Bright.  They certainly had some wonderful Christmas collections this year to work with, so if you haven't gotten yours you really should.  

Peace, Joy and Love Holiday Card

Can you believe another week is almost over...good grief, where is time going.  Today I have a Christmas card I made using KaiserCraft's Just Believe collection.  The flowers were created from Kaiser Paper petal flowers that had been water misted, crumbled and then layered for a lot of texture.

Prickley Pear Monday

I hope everyone had a wonderful long holiday weekend.  Today it's time to jump right back into crafting with Prickley Pear. 

I created this holiday card using Prickley Pear's dies and stamps and I just continue to love their products the more I use them.  The clear stamps line up so perfectly with the dies...easy peasy.

I have a ton on tap for you this week so keep checking in and also be sure to head on over the Prickley Pear's Blog and check out the rest of the design teams designs for this week, always some great inspirations.

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like.......

Christmas!!!!  I can't believe Christmas music is already on the radio...really?  I do love the season but somehow this year I'm not getting into it quite yet.  Maybe this card will do the trick. 

The collection of paper is from Beary Scrap/ My Mind's Eye 12 Days of Christmas.  I love the retro feel of the paper...50ish looking.  It really is different and fun and you should have it in your collection for sure.

The stamps and dies I used are from Prickley Pear, along with the sketch.  I love the way Prickley's clear stamp line up with the cut dies perfectly...really it makes creating super fun.

Now here is the really great part... Prickley Pear has changed their sketch challenge...you don't even have to use their stamps, just follow the sketch, link it up and you might win a $15 gift certificate for whatever your heart desires in the store.  What it even better...right now at Beary Scrap it's anything goes and you could win a $30 gift certificate to the store...WOW!!!  Just think one project would satisfy both challenges and there are some great prizes out there.  So jump in and play.

Hugs,

My First Post with Beary Scrap

Today is my first day as Beary Scrap's new guest designer.  I'm thrilled to see what the next three months are going to bring.

Believe it or not Christmas is right around the corner and now is the time to start those Christmas cards... For this card I used Webster's Pages Waiting for Santa/ Sweet Season 6x6 pad.  I love the way Webster's Pages has such unique graphic pages in a collection but then also have a nice choice of rich patterns, for a perfect  mix. 

Hugs,
