peace & joy Christmas card

A Christmas card I made specifically for my best friend! She has a “thing” for moose. Her Great Dane is named Moose, she has about six pieces of moose art in her home, a moose hook in her kitchen … you get the idea! She LOVES moose!!

**The moose cut and the font (Aubrey) are from the Silhouette Store!**

    Poinsettia Christmas Card!

    | Corner Scraps

    Poinsettia Christmas Card!

    I created the card base myself using Silhouette Studio. It’s a 6″x6″ flip fold. The colors aren’t exact because everything is so shiny getting the right angle was rough, it kept trying to reflect my camera, which really stood out since it’s pink! All of the poinsettia cuts came from the Silhouette Store. The biggest poinsettia is cut from a silver card stock and I used some red seed beads & Glossy Accents for the center. The rest of the poinsettias were done last year on water color paper, and I used Distress Spray Stain “Candy Apple” with some “Pewter” Perfect Pearls mixed in for the red poinsettias, and for the silver ones I used Heidi Swapp “Tinsel” Color Shine. The centers of the red and small silver poinsettias is some Glossy Accents that I used to “hold” a layer of Stickles “Gunsmoke” up (Stickles tend to dry flat, and Glossy Accents tend to dry 3D!). After all the flowers were in place I popped in a few little bells from Basic Grey’s “Juniper Berry” embellishment pack.

    This angle shows the colors the best!
    Colors aren’t exact here, but I had to lighten the photo a bit so the print on the card stock would show up!

    Colors aren’t exact here either, I had to lighten this photo a bit too so the print on the card stock would show up!

    Summer Hello Cards – Simon Says Stamp July Card Kit!

    Just a couple of straight forward cards I made using the July Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp! The card on the right was inspired by Heather Hoffman’s card shown on the inspiration/idea insert that comes in the kit! These cards also fit nicely into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge this week, and MarciLB’s “Tis the Season: SUMMER” challenge over at scrapbook.com!

    Shaker Card! The splatters are Distress Oxides, and the pink for the sentiment is Lawn Fawn!

     
     

    I used a circle thinlet to cut the circles in the top and underlying foam for the shakers!

    This one was 100% inspired by the card done by Heather Hoffman shown on the inspiration/idea insert in the kit!

     Product List:

    • From the Simon Says Stamp July Card Kit: SSS “Sea You Soon” stamp set, SSS “Moonshine” Confetti, acetate, printed paper from Echo Park’s “Summer Dreams” collection, and the “Doll Pink,” “Sunshine,” and 120# White cardstock.
    • a la mode clear embossing powder
    • Lawn Fawn “Plastic Flamingo” dye ink
    • Tim Holtz: “Retro Circles” Embossing Folder, Distress Oxide –  “Salty Ocean” and “Peacock Feathers,” and Distress Embossing Ink Pad (Clear)
    • Ranger Glossy Accents and Super Fine, White Embossing Powder
    • a bit of hemp twine
    • the white, vellum looking bit for the banner isn’t actually vellum, but I have no idea what it is or where it came from! I kept it a long time ago because it was rather pretty, but I don’t remember how I aquired it!

    Winter Wonderland

    Winter Wonderland

    I was inspired by the “Sizzix Christmas In July” Challenge over at scrapbook.com to start some Christmas projects early! There was a lot of fussy cutting involved, but it was worth it in my opinion! Those birds and houses (Crate Paper “Snow and Cocoa” line) are just too darn cute!

    I don’t know if I should classify this as a card or as decoration, so I’m going to call it #Card_Deco! It put me in mind of my childhood. My parents had a string that hung across the beam in our living room, and every year they would hang the Christmas cards we received on it. Friends and family became part of our Christmas decor!

    The very front of the card is rather straight forward! The “Wonderland” piece is from Crate Paper, the card stock is American Crafts, everything else are Hip Kit Club Exclusives!
    Lots of fussy cutting found here (well not necessarily “lots,” but for me it is!) And if I haven’t said it before, I’ll say it now, I am IN LOVE with the Distress Oxides! I’ve had all these papers since November/December (2016), but I hadn’t figured out exactly how to use them. Apparently they were waiting for Tim Holtz’s Distress Oxides!

    That little fawn was cut from some scrap white card stock I had using the “Retro Deer” die from Simon Says Stamp. I just trimmed off the antlers and added some spots so he could match his Mama! (Hip Kit Club Exclusive Die Cuts – the doe & the mushrooms)
    Winter Wonderland CarDeco closed and ready for an envelope!

    Product List:

    • The card base/design I created myself in Silhouette Design Studio & used my Cameo to cut the pieces out.
    • American Crafts “Lollipop” card stock
    • Hip Kit Club Exclusive Papers & Die Cut Pack
    • Crate Paper “Snow and Cocoa” Collection (“Wonderland” and all the fussy cutting!)

    Just because it’s 110 degrees outside doesn’t mean I can’t do Christmas! After all, in the Southern Hemisphere of this big blue marble we call home, Christmas is a summer holiday!
