Christmas tree with oval wood Frame card



I used a Tim Holtz stencil with distress ink and oxide for the sunshine rays.
The tree is an upside-down pennant stamp that was heat embossed in that funky color. I added the yellow with Copic marker. Other things I added were a stamped tree trunk, a star sequin, and iridescent small "sequins" for lack of a better word. I've had them forever.

The frame is an oldie that I found from my stash. I painted it and distressed it with an emery board. I was just playing around with it as a prototype for another project but don't ask me what that was.

Thanks for stopping by.

Gold 50th Anniversary Card



I made this card using the sketch from...IDK
Found it.
This sketch was my saving grace for this anniversary card.
The patterned paper is by Anna Griffin. The gold paper is by CM and it's dry embossed with a Crafter's Companion. The 50 is a SU stamp and it was heat embossed with gold glitter embossing powder by Stampendous. I rarely use it because it never seems to give the results I'm looking for. This one out of 5 made the cut making it to the card. The gold twine is from my stash. The black cardstock is popped up on foam adhesive.
Thank you for looking.

Manly Monday Gingerbread Man Card

Gingerbread man stamp and powdered chalk are by SNP (no longer in business). Perfect pearls for the icing. Spellbinders die-cuts. PP by PinK is by Bazzill and the blue PP is by MME. The word Sweet came from a patterned paper by Recollections and cut out with a Spellbinders die.

The posts look the same to me but they're not

It is a stretch to make this card Manly Monday but I  just don't have anything else. I'm making calendars and it's time-consuming. Thanks for looking.

Aqua colored Christmas colored cards

My hands and arms are struggling to type. When my neuropathy flairs up, it feels like pricks of small needles with each touch of each key on the keyboard. I'm not looking for a pity party, I'm just telling you why I haven't been writing much.
Thanks for looking.

This layout is from my brother's 2019 calendar.
The background paper is by Scenic Route. The cardstock in the center has been inked. The center embellishment/border is something I cut out of a patterned paper by MME. Flowers are by Prima and Oriental Trading Co. The brad is by Making Memories. I can't think of who made the little title but as I go through my things I will find out and add it to the post.

Upcycled Photo Frame Christmas cards

I decided to upcycle the photo frames that people send out with their kid's pictures. The frames aren't used anymore because people can go online and plug their pictures into the different layouts and TADA!! their photo Christmas card is finished. They even get envelopes.
Some 
online services; Shutterfly, Walmart, Walgreens-I've heard that their quality is better than you would expect. 

The trio of trees stamp is by Denami Designs Circa 1998. It was from the lady that went into the nursing home and I received all of her Christmas stamps and stuff. Well, she heat-embossed the tree in gold on vellum and added some glitter to it. I colored the green on the back of the vellum with green Copic Markers. To give the trees a little color.
Thanks for looking.
