Valentine Card

Yeah...I'm kinda late posting this (like really late).  I put the post in "draft" and forgot about it.  But better late than never huh?

I really like how it turned out.  The Valentine card was made using a Spellbinder die (Majesty).  I love the way it is designed.  It is smaller than a regular A2 card but that was the size of the die.  I put glitter paper under the die so it would be spar-ka-ly.  We all like bling right?  The stamp I used on the front is a Gina K. Designs stamp and for the embellishment I just used some tulle and made a little flower out of ribbon.

 Let me know what you think.  Thanks guys!  Scrappy hugs to all!

Hunkydory Christmas Cards

I got some Hunkydory topper sets to put together as Christmas cards.  They are beautiful. They just pop out and you make a card out of them.  They showed only two samples on the packaging but I got four cards out of one package.  I could probably have gotten more if I wanted to. 

The kit comes with two pattern papers and a sheet of toppers which include images and sentiments.  The paper itself is of chipboard quality.  Very thick, but easy to work with.  Here is a video of the cards up close.  

Let me know what you think.  These are great when you are in a hurry to make a card.

The Paper Shelter Winter Card

This is a card I made using a digi image from The Paper Shelter.  Isn't she adorable!!!  I love their images.  They are so stinkin cute!  I love that they separate their images and then they also put them together as one image such as the background, the bird, the girl, etc. so you don't have to do anything but print it.  However, they are also separate to give you the option of maybe using a different background or maybe not using the bird.  And they have so many to choose from in different categories. 

I also did a video on it.  See below.  Let me know what you guys think.

Christmas Cards...keep 'em coming!

Boy I'm crankin' 'em out!  I like making cards and since it is that time of the year, I am working hard to get my cards done to send to family and friends.  Here are more cards I have done.

I really like how these turned out.  Thanks.

More Christmas Cards

I wanted to try out my new Spellbinders Christmas Die so I made these cards using different kinds of paper.  The first one I did in foil paper and the second on with just regular card stock.  I could not do any changing of the foil paper like coloring but I did some changes or additions to the other one.

Here is the video I did on the cards so you can a better look and explanation of how I did them and what I used.  I hope you like them.  Thanks.

 

MayMay Made It Christmas Card Project

MayMay Made It is doing a Christmas Card Mini Album project.  She asked that people send her Christmas cards so she could incorporate them into a mini album.  She did the same thing with some baby shower cards and made them into an album for a friend.  You really need to go to her YouTube channel to see it.  It's wonderful!!! 

Here is my card that I sent her.  I used a PaperTreyInk Stamp and Die set for the focal point and I cannot remember the paper I used. I am so sorry about that.  I should have written it down when I got it. The inside sentiment I believe is also from PTI.  It is either that or Stampin Up.

I was in such a hurry to mail it, I forgot to take pictures but did get a video done.  Oh well.  I hope you like it.  I will be putting more cards on my blog soon.  I have been doing some fall and Christmas cards. Whoo hoo!!
