Christmas Cards

ok here are some others that I am just now getting around to posting ...

One more Fall ...

I am running behind in my card making hopefully I will be able to get it together in Oct. .... LOL

Last of the Christmas cards

These are for our grands ...

Just a few more Christmas Cards

these are embossing folders and die cuts I haven't played with or not in a year ..... I also drug out my Pearl X to do the stencil background on one of them .... was fun to use those again

Working on Christmas Cards

these are some of the ones I am doing ... somethings are scraps and something are new ... I like using what I have laying around on my work table when I get into my Holiday stuff and deciding on what different things I can do with them .... oops the gold embossed ornaments and the winter white pearl embossed ornament are new thing not scraps ... sorry I thought I had only the scrap cards in this bunch ...

Well it's almost Halloween

so I had to make the grandkids some Halloween cards ....

Starting Christmas Cards

it's been very difficult for me to get started on my cards this year but here are a few and maybe I now that I have started I can keep it going .....

#7 of AB RR

This is the last in the RR this session ... the theme is Butterflies and Birds, it was fun working with this theme since they are two of my favorite subjects ...

A few more cards ...

I was messing around with some scraps and then decided to make cards out of the good ones ... 

this was just playing with re-inkers and alcohol inks and washi tape

this was using the same stamp and alcohol inks and oil pastels and water color brushes

the black one is clear embossing powder with background stamp then rubbing ink on it and rubbing it off , then the yellow one is color pencil and pop up partial images and the beige one is die cut with velum sandwiched in between cardstock to create a window

these are just using up left over scraps from a previous project ...

#4 in the Altered Book Round Robin

This ladies theme is "Mica", I love to work with mica in altered books but truthfully I forget to use it so this really excited me ... I immediately thought of bottles of mica holding butterflies ... and then a window into another butterfly world so this is what I came up with ....

# 3 in the AB Round Robin

ok this ladies theme is Vintage 4th of July ... see what you think

Playing Tag yesterday and today

I have just wanted to do some scrap stuff on tags and demnitional stuff too, and I really needed some stress relieving .... so this is what I came up with ... you can't tell much about the demnition in these photo's but it's there ....

Valentines is on it's way

so I decided to make an explosion LOVE box .... 

A few more Christmas Cards

still trying to make more to send out, but life keeps getting in the way so this may be it ....

I used Martha Stewart's punch for the top and bottom borders, just a regular circle punch 5 times for the ornament and the writing embossing folder

this one was very simple the only thing is Tim Holtz tree stamp the rest is just paper 

This one is Tim's Holly stencil and Speckles stencil, I used Tea Dye Tim's ink for the branches, Barn Door ink for the berries and Forest Moss for the leaves that I put on top of Peeled Paint then the Speckles were done in denominational paste and sprinkled with glitter while it was wet to look like snow falling, the next step was to cut a frame from the green cardstock and lay it over to mimic looking out a window

This is an easel card with a mixture of Tim's Snowflake border and Deer, Sizzix Snowflake #3 die and Martha Stewart's Snowflake punch, with pleated velvet ribbon and Tim's word stick painted with white craft paint and wiped down some 

Today's project ...

Poinsettias, my flower for Christmas, I wanted to do something in white in stead of red ... 

Now we are looking at Thanksgiving ...

I am very thankful for all of my family, good health and friends ... with those I can conquer the wold ...

some of the glitter letters don't show up to well but it says "Thankful"

Happy Easter ... ok just a little early

Seems like all I can take time to do these days are small projects ... like cards and banners

Happy Valentine's Day ...

well today is the day and I am getting the last card posted today .... boy I almost missed it ... lol

Christmas bags for online swap

I used the G45 paper from the "12 days of Christmas"  8x8" pad and Tim Holtz Vintage Lace and Poinsettia dies, then I blinged them up with Stickles and Wink-a -Stella brushes ... I did a 3rd but forgot to take a photo before mailing it off .....

Thanksgiving Cards

I printed on canvas my stock images then tore and pinked around them to sew onto cardstock

I lined the envelope with the paper for the turkey card and used Tim Holtz little tattered leaves diecut for the leaves on the little boy card
