I cut the gloves and scarf out with my Cricut many years ago. I will try to link back to the layout in which they came from. The die cuts are wrapped around the super old frame die cut by Provo Craft. The sentiment is by Hero Arts. Thanks for looking.

Upcycled Stockings Christmas Card Part 1

Floral Fridy Spanner Christmas card
So the border on the bottom is made up of a horizontal strip of Sizzix opulent paper. Layered on top of it is a border from an old paper pack by Die Cuts with a View. The doily in the center is by Stampin Up. It’s hard to see but I adhered tiny red flowers behind the green flower that form a wreath on top of the doily. All flowers are by Prima.

Floral Friday Pink Flowers Destash Card
This card used up most of my small pink flowers. I will probably regret that in the future but there are other pink flower accents that I can make.
When I started placing the flowers on the card I didn’t know where I was going with it. I just went for it and glued them down and added Stickles to the center. That wasn’t the best decision. I should have made the pattern then glued the flowers down. I thought:
Oh well I liked the top better than the bottom.
It was the bottom and so I was OK with it.
The top is cleaner than the bottom.
Nobody will see the bottom.
I found the tiny plate with letter die cuts and cut out “Thirty 1993” for my Niece’s 30th birthday. I adhered the letters around a rhinestone cluster that I found in my stash. I had to cut off the edges to fit on my card base. It wasn’t until then that I realized…I put the letters on upside down. I was crushed. I tried to take the letters off. Nope. Removing the letters was destroying the flowers, which I had a very limited quantity of.
Looking at it now, it’s no big deal. You can hardly tell or see what I’m talking about.
But for me this piece of paper was sitting on my desk for weeks waiting for the right pattern placement only to trip at the finish line.
I have to remind myself that,
It’s handmade. Not Ha11m@rk.
Thanks for looking.

Black and white with blue Chipboard Card
The polka dot velvet patterned paper is by the Doodlebug. The white, black, blue, layers are chipboard pieces layered on top of each other. The blue chipboard is by Colorbok and the others are by American Crafts. The sentiment is by Fiskars.
I’m going to try and explain this ribbon thing so that the future me will understand, maybe.
The ribbon is two sided; one side is black and the other is black with white polka dots. So what you’re seeing is both sides of the ribbon because the ribbon goes around the whole stack of chipboard you see the side with polka dots closest to the card base and when it comes out from behind the back you see the polka dots pattern. When it goes around the front, it passes through the belt buckle shaped chipboard and up to the top with the black facing front. Then I stapled them in place. It’s going to cost a little bit (a lot) of postage to mail it but it will be worth it.
Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday Balloon Slimline Card in greens and blues
Today, I gave this old Stampin Up stamp a new-to-me twist by using different colored inks and aligning the balloons side-by-side. I haven’t used this set in a while and the only reason I did is because I’m rearranging my room to be ergonomically correct and any stamp sets like this, ones which I haven’t used in a long time, are taking up prime real estate in my craft room. I decided to use the ones I liked or hadn’t used yet before I needed to get rid of them.
This is a 4 x 8 1/2“ card.*
The patterned paper is by Studio G and Cosmo Cricket.

Christmas tree card with Mulberry Paper
The blue background is a mulberry paper. I did a few things with it. First, I pulled the edges apart using water and a tool from Creative Memories. Second, I added small stars that I retrieved from a corner punch. Lastly, I sprayed the mulberry paper with a mixture that I made where I added perfect pearls into a water bottle.
And here's the last part about my card the tree. I used distress markers to color in the rubber area before stamping it down. Then I fussy cut the tree and adhered it to the mulberry paper with foam adhesive. Not pleasant or easy to do. Anyway,
Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday Confetti Birthday Card
This is a square card and the confetti patterned paper by Accord Publishing was a 5 x 7. Therefore, I had to cut it down and make it mesh together to fit seamlessly. And I can honestly say that when I look at this picture, I can’t tell where that seam is.
The star punch is by Creative Memories and the paper is a glitter paper, but it’s almost waxy and it is by The Paper Studio
The wavy rectangle dies are by Stampendous. The sentiment die is by Scrapbooking Made Simple. The wonky shaped die, red cardstock die in the center, it is by Scrapbooking Made Simple.

December CaleNdar Layout wearing Shorts in winter
I made the mistake of asking him what he thought of this layout to which he replied why do you do you have Santa heads with shorts? I didn't think it mattered because I mostly go by colors in the photos and this worked.
The Santa paper is by My Mind's Eye. The whistle was made with my Cricut. The green corners are a square cut corner to corner. The words were made with letter stamps from OTC.
