Bird Gazing Christmas Cards

I made this card using a polka dot patterned paper by American Crafts. All of the other components are from a pad of Christmas pieces by Studio Light that features foil elements.

The journal box is by Teresa Collins, the glitter cardstock is by Recollections, the red ribbon at the top is unknown, and the rest is by Studio Light.

Silver and Muted Red Christmas Card

  My Christmas card has a few layers. The layer closest to the card base is a pearlescent red by Coordinations. The gray with red stripes is the backside of a journaling card by Teresa Collins. The red die cut with a silver marker outline was made with my Cricut and silver metallic pen. The white die cut is by Spellbinders. The “Joy” card is from a We R Members Keepers 6x6 paper pad. Thanks for looking.

Saturated Canary Grad card

Today's card features a Saturated Canary graduation image. I printed her out onto Cryogen cardstock and colored her with Copic markers. I die cut her out using a Spellbinders die and inked the inside with distress ink. I die cut another rectangle shape in red to go behind the image. The patterned paper is by Scenic Route. The sentiment is a die cut from my Cricut. I inked the top layer of this sentiment die cut before adhering it to a shimmer piece of paper by Recollections. The rick rack is by Wright's, sequins by Craft Medley and enamel dots by Teresa Collins.

Christmas Cards Mid Month

Today is mid month for the Christmas Cards all Year Round challenge. The challenge is to create a Christmas card using only red and white. I rather liked this challenge and made three more cards to share today.

The first one I used Teresa Collins patterned paper for the background and then I die cut the white cardstock label shapes from my Cricut. I used the larger ones upright and the smaller one as a label for the sentiment sticker by Cloud 9 Designs. Then I placed the ornament stickers onto the die cuts and poked a hole in the sticker to the back which I threaded the hole with white floss to make them appear as though they are hanging down.

My second card is a shaker card using candy cane and snowflake shaped sequins by American Crafts to fill the inside. The houndstooth cardstock is unknown but the foliage sticker on the left is by Little Yellow Bicycle and the sentiment sticker is by Mrs. Grossman's. The shape of the window is a Spellbinders die cut and the window film is by 3M.

Last card. I used the same houndstooth patterned paper in the shape of a frame and filled it in with two Martha Stewart ornament stickers. I did the same floss thing from the first card and the same sentiment sticker as the second card.

 I think I may have made these cards in this order by using components from the first and second card to create the third. Luckily when I send them out this December, no one will know.

Christmas Cards all Year Round

This month at Christmas Cards all Year Round the challenge is to use red and white on your Christmas cards. 

I created this simple card with beautiful patterned papers by Teresa Collins. They are stunning enough that I didn;t want to cover them up with a bunch of embellishments. I didn't even stamp on this card. I must be ill. lol. The card base is by Recollections, white flower by Imaginisce, red poinsettia by Prima and the gem in the center by Forever in Time.

So join me at the challenge blog in 2015 making your Christmas cards early.
