30 Days of Christmas Cards Day 10

 

I found this cute idea of peek-a-boo patterned paper on Pinterest and had to make my own version. I had finished the card but something was missing... I added the punched tree and star and somehow the card was perfectly finished!

30 Days of Christmas Cards Day 9

 

A simple little card today highlighting the retired Nordic Noel DSP. I didn't buy this last Christmas, but picked it up from the clearance rack. Ultimately I fell in love with this pattern. Such cute ornaments! I added a tag and a simple sentiment stamp to complete the card.

SSINKCS27: Repeated Olive

Today’s card is featured over at Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration and features a fun card sketch challenge today.

 

I went with my favorite color combination of green and purple. This time I went with Old Olive and Blackberry Bliss. I layered some of the Into the Woods DSP to play off the repeated Old Olive color. The purple comes in with the stamp and washi tape. A nice clean combination. Overall I went with a less is more approach for this card and I love it!

30 Days of Christmas Cards Day 8

 

I bought these Christmas tags last year from the clearance rack and promptly forgot about them in the Christmas supply box. Thank goodness I rediscovered them! These are perfect use as layering pieces on greeting cards. I added some other DSP and afew punched circles. As final touches, I added some washi tape and my favorite accessory: candy dots!

Sunday Haul #33

I picked up some great supplies this past week. I grabbed some Christmas items for upcoming projects (Holiday albums, Christmas cards, December Daily pages). I also got some random supplies (envelopes, snail, numbers for calendars) and some display items for my upcoming bazaars.

30 Days of Christmas Cards Day 7

 

A fun tree-filled card for today. (Yeah I'm still using the Festival of Trees stamp set!) I stacked a few trees to one side and a large sentiment on the right side. This really is one of my favorite cards that I've made this month. Country is not a style that I gravitate towards, but I'm loving it for this card!

A couple of variations for the stack.

 
  • Stamps: Six Sayings; Festival of Trees
  • Inks: Mossy Meadow; Old Olive; Cherry Cobbler; Pear Pizzaz
  • Cardstock: Trim the Tree DSP (retired); Cherry Cobbler; Whisper White
  • Accessories: Doilies
  • Tools: Tree Punch; Star Punch

Holiday Bazaar Crafts (non-cards)

Along with a large pile of Christmas cards, I always like to have a few non-greeting card products available for sale at the craft fairs. This year, I went with a few cards sets made from old cards laying around the cart area. Those were already made and just needed to be packaged. But my big project was a large set of Modified Notebooks and some Baker's Boxes filled with candy. I managed to create all of these in about three days!

30 Days of Christmas Cards Day 6

 

A fairly simple card, but sometimes simple cards are the best! I added the "snow" using a pencil eraser and craft white ink. I love the random flakes. A few simple trees and a sentiment completes the card.

Lovely DSP

Today’s card is featured over at Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration and features my other attempt at creating my own DSP. This time I repeated the heart stamp from Chalk Lines covering the entire paper. The darker strip I heat embossed with gold embossing powder. (I know it looks black here, but I promise it's a very shiny gold) The spacing didn't quite turn out like I wanted, but overall it's a cute idea!

30 Days of Christmas Cards Day 5

 

For today's card, I'm again using the awesome retired Festival of Prints paper stack. I decided to run with some diagonal paper strips to create my background. Apparently I'm really digging my Festival of Trees stamp set lately... Prepare to see it for a few more days.
