Jingle All The Way

Hello crafty friends! I was able to do another Christmas card while the kiddos were in school. I think I have enough for all of the teachers and helpers finally:-) This card was inspired by Just Add Ink's sketch. I'm not sure if it qualifies because the only "ink" I used was Wink of Stella on the snowflake dies, but I thought I would give it a go anyway. I'm also linking the card up to CAS-ual Fridays, My Time To Craft, and CAS on Friday challenge blogs. The dies and patterned card are from Reverse Confetti.

O' Christmas Tree

Welcome crafty friends! Today I would like to share with you a card I made for a few awesome challenge blogs. I started with inspiration from Inspired by all the Little Things blog. I used the sketch from Reverse Confetti blog along with CAS-ual Fridays, Cut It Up, Just Add Ink, and Craftyhazelnut challenges. The patterned card is from Reverse Confetti Warm Heart stack. The stamps and dies are from Reverse Confetti Christmas Bear stamp and die set. I used yellow and purple Wink of Stella for the star and ornaments for a touch of sparkle.

Fa La La La La

Hello crafty friends! While the pies are baking I took a moment to make another challenge card. This time I used the sketch from Mojo Monday challenge along with the color combo of Inspired by all the little things challenge again. I just love this combination of colors for Christmas. It has such a retro feel. I pulled out a KaiserCraft paper pad I bought when I was in Oz. The cute ornament stamp and dies are from Reverse Confetti.

Season's Greetings

Hello crafty friends! I know... a tad early, but I just had to use these new adorable stamps and dies from Reverse Confetti! I thought the new Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge would work with this adorable vintage ornament stamp and die combo. I toyed with attaching silver thread at the top, but the sketch called for a little horizontal something:-) I thought it was time to use up some of my twine.

Christmas Tags

I'm am really lovin' these adorable Christmas tags I made at a Fetti Fans class at The Little Blue House this week.

    



This tag I used for the Kindergarten teacher's gift card. I tied it to a cute coffee mug.



These were a super easy trio. When opened the "to and from" are stamped. I added a little Wink of Stella on the words and the leaf edges.

Merry Christmas Tags

Hope y'all are having a wonderful holiday season. I'm really lovin' this warmer December weather here in Texas. I know the kids miss the snow, but they've never had to drive in it 6 months out of the year. Here is one of my favorite Little Blue House tag kits so far. So sparkly with lots of Stickles and Wink of Stella. Love, Love, Love it!



I think Tracy has a few more kits left so check out her site by clicking on the link above. Happy Holidays to all of you! Thanks for stopping by. Have a creative day:-)

Holly Jolly Day

As I am sitting here writing up this blog post, the down pouring rain has changed to huge gigantic snowflakes! I am so glad I got two of my kids home at noon and my DH should be back from Madison and picking up my son from school. Ooo, there goes the power flickering. Not good. Fingers crossed.x

I used the Cupcake Inspirations challenge photo for this shaped card. I used the shadow feature on the Winter Frolic cart to weld two ornament shapes together in Cricut Craft Room. Next I printed and cut the layers using the Imagine Mr Frosty cart. The ornament layer was embossed with the Cuttlebug Snowflake folder. The silver top was cut separately using some Stampin' Up silver metallic card stock. I punched two small holes in the middle of the folded part and threaded some hand dyed ribbon and some Stampin' Up metallic twine. The sentiment is from Pink By Design's Christmas Wishes set.

White Christmas

Tonight was my daughter's high school Christmas program. What beautiful music. I am always amazed at how much talent there is in the high schools. Since I was home earlier than I thought, I decided post the card I made today. We are expecting our first snow tonight so I thought this was appropriate:-)

I used one of my new favorite carts, Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons. This snowflake has four layers. Each layer having more intricate detailing. I only used white and pearled white cardstocks to fit in with a few challenges this week. The top three layers are adhered to the fourth layer with foam adhesive then the entire snowflake is "popped" up with foam adhesive on the embossed layer. The embossed layer was done with Cuttlebug's Snowflakes folder. In order to see the contrasting layers, I inked the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink. I liked the softer look of the pearlized CS so I used White Opal liquid pearls instead of Stickles.

Merry Christmas Snowflake

I seem to be getting a lot of Christmas cards make this week:-) I just love the variety of papers, stamps, and die cuts that can be used. Here is one I made for some challenges this week.

I used the large snowflake stamp from Iron Gate Stamps Snowflake set. The DCS is Authentique's Festive (yes, I have a lot of this card stock - gotta use it up:-). I "antiqued" the red, white, and green baker's twine with some Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink. The sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's Winter Wishes set. Did you spot it? Yes, Candy Cane Stickles!

Scandinavian Santa

What a beautiful day we had here! It was 62 degrees here in Northern IL! What a treat:-) Tomorrow they are predicting 66 degrees:-) Definitely not complaining, but it does make it hard to get in the Christmas mode. I was able to get most of the lights up outside. Found I was short a few because some seemed to not want to light up:-( I did manage to get this cute little santa card done this evening.

I used the Scandinavian Christmas Cards cartridge along with one of my favorite stamp sets from Iron Gate Stamps. The patterned cardstock is from Authentique's Festive pack. I did need to use a little Black Diamond Stickles for his eyes (needs a twinkle) and buttons.
