Christmas Comes Early Challenge

Over on Stamp TV http://stamptv.ning.com/, they are having a Christmas Comes Early Challenge. You just have to make a Christmas themed card using Gina K Stamps. I used Gina K's Stately Flowers 6 by Melanie Muenchinger.

Tag, you're it!

The gang over at the Mod Squad Challenge Blog http://modsquadchallenge.blogspot.com/ is having a tag challenge this week. You have to have a tag somewhere on your card. It's fun to join and you get to see everyone else's creativity.

For my card, I made a crème colored tag and used a Martha Stewart punch for the edge. Then I embossed it with the Dotted Swiss Cuttlebug embossing folder. The card base is from a Christmas set by Paper Studios. The stamp is called Christmas Joy by Justrite Stampers.

Water Challenge

Stamp TV at http://stamptv.ning.com/ is having a water challenge. You need to make a card with water pictured on it. If you use stamps by Gina K Designs you will be eligible for a wonderful prize. You ask how I know it's wonderful. I have won the prize before and you get all sorts of things, like inks, ribbons, stamps and papers. It's like Christmas!

For my entry uses Gina K Designs You Light Up My Life. I used chalks to make the clouds and waves. I have a cloud stencil which I of course used for the clouds, but I turned it upside down to make the waves.

Busy, Busy

I have been working on what I call a "mixed bag" of things. I received several new Cricut cartridges and I also received a request for several different Christmas cards. Here is a sampling of the things I have made.

The first card is made with one of my favorite Cricut cartridges Create a Critter. Love all the images on this cartridge.

Next, I love this Wintry scene. The deer is from the Winter Woodland Cricut cartridge. The background is from Bo Bunny Winter Woodland 6 x 6 paper pad.

 

 

On the next card, I tried the new woven card technique. It doesn't look too bad, but I think I did it

backwards, because the inside of the card looks better than the outside. I used Cricut Lacy Labels cartridge and printed the sentiment on the computer.

 

 

 

Lastly, I got this idea from Pinterest. The wreath was made using Spellbinders Circle and Scalloped Circle dies. The sentiment is a Paper Studio stamp.  This is simple but I like it.

More Christmas Cards

Trying to get a head start on Christmas before it starts snowballing. Used Close To My Hearts stamps for these.

The first one is using the CTMH set Christmas Village. It is hard to see all the glitter on the snow with the scan.

Next, I used CTMH Set To You and Yours. I just love this redbird. Looks so real.

Joy Christmas Card

Trying to get a head start on Christmas before I get overwhelmed. It will be here before we know it.
I used the retired paper pack Pear and Partridge from Close to My Heart. Love these papers. The joy is cut from the Winter Woodland Cricut cartridge. The sentiment is a stamp from Stamping Up but I don't know what set. Bought it by itself in a garage sale.

Cute Get Well card

I'm playing with my Cricut Create a Critter cartridge again. It is addictive. My daughter bought me a set of really colorful flat panel cards with bright envelopes from Home Goods called roobee by mara-mi. Had to add the card base and of course the duck and umbrella. Inside says, "Heard you were under the weather, Get well soon."
