Christmas Project # 13

Christmas cards are one of my favorite things to make and send for the Christmas Season. Here is one of my favorites. I love the look of it and the message it carries. I used the Mistletoe papers. This is yet another beautiful paper from that line. I also used the stamp sets Everlasting Life for the "Peace On Earth" and Adorn-ables for the Ornament. The cranberry card stock at the top of the card was dry embossed and sanded. The ornament was decorated with mini pearls and an organdy white daisy bow. Using the organdy ribbon not only gives an elegant look but flattens nicely for mailing and still looks good when the card is opened by the recipient. The card size is again the standard
4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I hope you enjoy this one.

Christmas Project #12

Today I have another standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card that is very quick and easy to make but gives a look of elegance. The B&T paper is from Mistletoe Level 2 and the Creative basics Mistletoe pack. The Apron Lace border punch is used on one edge of the New England Ivy  B&T paper. Add the sentiment on the lower portion of the card with " Holiday Commentary". At the top some ribbon and a button was added along with a few sprigs of fern from a Martha Stewart punch. Add a little red gem at the tail of the word Christmas and the card is complete.
Thanks for looking. I'll be back again tomorrow with another card. See you then.

Christmas Project # 11

I have some more cards for you. I am trying to keep them flat for mailing purposes this year. Not as easy task to do when I love all the bling etc. But with glitter and embossing I hope you like how they turned out. Some of them were cased from other talented crafters and some are my own and some are a combination of the two.
I post a couple today and the next few days I will get them all posted for you.

Both of these cards used the Mistletoe Level 2 paper. I made the letter "O" by stamping from the All the Best stamp set. This is a really nice stamp set that comes in the Mistletoe Workshop Kit. I stamped the round ornament and added Prism Glitter to the swirl design. I added waxy flax for the hanger. A scalloped border punch and some sheer ribbon to finish it off. The sheer ribbon flattens easier for mailing and still looks good when opened. I used some misc. sticker alphabets letters to finish the words. The colors are Olive, Garden Green, Cranberry, and White Daisy. I added Red glitter to the cranberry dots on the B&T paper to accent them a bit more. Very simple cards but they don't really look simple. Enjoy!! Come back tomorrow for a couple more cards.

Christmas Project 6

I have another card today. Simple and beautiful. I call this my Peace On earth card. It is a standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card size. I used the Mistletoe Level 2 paper pack, Cranberry ribbon, clear embossing powder and a large red Raindot. The flower was stamped with versamark on White Daisy CS and embossed with clear embossing powder.

Christmas Project 5

I have another card to share with you today. My card today is an Easel Card. I used the Festive Frills and Holiday Commentary stamp sets from CTMH. I also used the Mistletoe Level 2  paper pack, a Martha Stewart border punch called "Doily Lace" , cranberry Grosgrain ribbon and some Raindots for the berries. I used New England Ivy, Cranberry, and Black inks.
