New Gift Card...

I got to thinking about the pointsettia I showed you yesterday.

I decided to make it into a pin. For a card & gift in one...

Cool ... Right?

I made the flowers with my Big Shot, smooched them with spray. 

 Attached them to the pins, in a way they are be unclipped and got off, without incident.

And finally attached them to the card  base.  My GIFT CARD...!!!

I made four for the coworkers who have been so good to me over the last few years. I am sure they will "ahhhhh " all over them... and then I will be relieved better late then never on their cards! In which I think this year is the first they all will essentially receive the same card!

Thank you for stopping by!

Leave me some love - I love to hear from you all!

Hug the ones you love!

Have a great day!

Pointsettia

While  in midst of the holiday clean up, I noticed this paper.. it was Christmas paper, which I had trimmed to two sizes, and then obviously didn't use it in the means in which I wanted at that time.  It didn't take me long to gather up the pieces, some Crumb Cake cardstock and through a ribbon together and get that Island Floral die out and rip out a flower!

I cut out four Cherry Cobbler Floral flowers, spritzed and mashed them. Along with a Artichoke leave. That I sponged with Chocolate Chip before smashing.  While waiting for that to dry, I used the 5 petal punch and then the owl punch for the yellow center. This card was almost together and it wasn't more than 15 minutes from finding my already cut pieces.  I reached for the Four the Seasons stamp, used the Espresso ink and then cute the ends with a square punch. I used my bone scorer to loosen the fibers and then attached the sentiment near the bottom of the card. I  used my Tombow glue to connect the flowers, alternating the leaves, and poofed it up. Crunched the flowers accordingly.

I love it ! Its my favorite, and I made three more!!!  Of course, I used different sides of the paper for different effect.  I will just have to figure out how to get these little big guys in an envelope!

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Limey Holidays

I wanted some untraditional colors for some cards... and Lucky Limeade was staring at me... so I took advantage of it, and really like the outcome!

Its simple and not over bearing! I do wish I would have moved the snowflakes up  - but I like the bling on the pop up of the center one!

I made a handful of these for mailing, but haven't got to the mailing part... OOPS!!!!

Take care!

Thanks for stopping by!

Striped Seasons Greetings

Alittle less tradtional, but still fun! I didn't realize this paper was in the pack until I went searching for paper for my mom's birthday card...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!

I like the Blushing Bride card base, so I could use the deep Real red for the main focus.
Simple and easy.. another thing I like when I am to be baking and birthday card making !!!

Have a great day!

Blue holidays

Fast fun & simple.. that is what Christmas cards are about! Ok, so maybe there is something to elegance, but hey at the moment - its creating Stamp a Stack cards! I love snowflakes - with alittle blue & glitter - whats to lose? These are great cards for those that you have to mail - since they are not too bulky .. no extra postage needed here!

Fast, fun and simple- Blue Holidays:

Ingredients:
Stamps: Serene Snowflakes, Four the holidays
CS: Bashful Blue, Not quite Navy, White
Ink: Not quite Navy
Big Shot- Northern Flurry
Chunky Glitter

Coral kind of Christmas

My challenge.. use Coral CS & Ink.. my daughters challenge... on a Christmas card!

GAME ON

I mixed the Coral with light grey and silver... and I love it! I wasn't sure about it at first, but it adds come elegance to the fact that its a christmas card. As a matter of fact, it screams out to me to be the card I am giving my grandmother! I was beginning to think my daughter just wanted me out in the craft cave so her and her brother wouldn't be bothered! They are like that I am finding out.. distract mom so she doesn't see .. A B or C.. LOL.. they are teens so I guess it goes with the age!

This second card - I had to let the ribbon dry since I used the coral ink and inked up the ribbon - so as easy as this card looks it was just a smidgen longer to make since I did the ribbon. Again, happy with the coral color. For depth, I added rhinestones to a few of the snowflakes. IRL they are shinier.

Stamps: Serene Snowflakes, Four the Seasons
CS: Coral, Grey and Silver
Ink: Coral, Grey, White
Snowflake punch, silver ribbon, white ribbon turned coral, rhinestones
