Made this for my supervisor's birthday.  I just started the job this year so she has never seen my handmade cards. (The ribbon actually matches the paper even though you can't tell from the picture - it is an olive green.)

Supplies used:

SU Stippled Blossoms and embossing folder

MFT banner die

PTI happy birthday stamp

Thanks for looking!

Christmas Cards

These are a few Christmas cards I did for The Embellished Scrapbook Boutique's Christmas Card Round Robin this past weekend.  They set up card kits and customers go around to each card and make as many as they want for $1.50 per card.  You can see the cards HERE.  We make up about 20 kits of each card and sometimes have to make more kits before the weekend is over.  I had to cut more for each of these cards.  The Joy card was the most popular.

 

This card used the O Little Town of Bethlehem stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs stamped in colbalt ink.  The poinsettia is the Layered Poinsettia die from Spellbinders and the greenery is the Martha Stewart medium pine branch punch.  The pearls were colored with a copic marker.

As I said this was the most popular card.  I started with 20 kits and had to cut an additional 35 kits.  The joy and snowflake are cut from WPlus9 Seasonal Sentiments dies and the snowflake border is Memory Box Frostyville.  

For this card, I got the idea HERE using the Taylored Expressions O Christmas Tree die. I just changed the color and left off the bow.

We took a break from blogging but not from stamping.  We've made lots of cards over the past few months so hopefully they will get posted on the blog.

I made this card using THIS tutorial from Michelle Zindorf.  The stamp is an old one from A Stamp in the Hand (are they still around?) called Country Tree.  I embossed SU Chocolate Chip cardstock with a CB Paper Lace II EF then lightly sponged PTI Vintage Creme ink on top.

Santa Cards

This year I made a few Christmas cards using my Cricut and SCAL program.  The Santa hat and holly are free downloads from Birds Cards. I ran the trim and pom pom through the cuttlebug to emboss and used foam squares to pop up just the one edge of the hat.

These next three Santa's were done using a kit I bought from SVG Cuts.  I first saw this card HERE on Splitcoaststampers.  I love how she used the Peachy Keen stamps for the face.  I don't have those stamps so I hand drew the eyes myself.  Those eyes are what really makes the card. On the card above, I glittered the trim and pom pom and ran the beard and mustache through the cuttlebug to emboss. The holly is a button I had.

This card I used paper from My Minds Eye for the hat, the holly svg from Birds Cards and ran the hat trim, pom pom, beard and mustache through the cuttlebug to emboss.

This card is actually smaller than the previous two.  Those are about 5 1/2 inch square.  I reduced the files down to about 80% for this one so that it would fit into a standard envelope.  The hat is paper from My Mind's Eye.

I made this card a few years ago.  I saw similar cards on Spitcoaststampers.  Using them as examples I free-handed the hat, trim, beard and mustache.  The nose and brows are an SU! punch.  I ran everything through the cuttlebug to emboss. The eyes are brads.
