Christmas vs Halloween

So we wake up Christmas Morning and tell Madi that Santa had visited our house. We were so excited to see her reaction to Christmas morning. She came out to the front room where the presents and tree were and took one look at her presents and proceeded to tell us that she wanted to put on her kitty costume and go Trick Or Treating. We laughed and laughed. I guess she really really LOVED Halloween. You gotta LOVE it!!!

New Card Size…6X9 Merry Christmas

This card may seem a little big well thats because it is. I found these new envelopes that were 6 X 9 and they are sooo cute.

Products Used: My Minds Eye paper for the base of the card. Merry Christmas cut with my Cricut, tan ribbon, and ink.

I use a small piece of string to tie off the edges of this ribbon…I think it is a fun technique. Merry Christmas!!

I’ll Have A Blue n Brown Christmas

Products Used: Holiday stamps from JoAnns, distress Ink brown, white and brown ribbon, blue and brown diamond paper.

When working with ribbon make sure you have an odd number of ties…Odd numbers are more appealing to the eye than even numbers when designing.

Enjoy!!!

Seasons Greetings Santa

I LOVE making cards for the #10 envelopes. Products Used: My Minds Eye Santa cardstock, Tan ribbon, brown and red distress ink and seasons greetings cut from my Cricut.

This card was real simple to create. Cut and cold card to fit a #10 envelope. In this photo I notched out a little bit of the card on the left so I could thread the ribbon through and tie it.

I cut the season's greetings from my Cricut Expression and placed it on a mat piece of paper. Inked the paper and card then adhered the season's greetings to the card.

Enjoy!!!

Merry and Bright Christmas Card

Here is a real simple card for you to tryout. Products used: Green cardstock, My Minds Eye Christmas Paper, white ribbon, VersaMark glue ink, glitter, Merry & Bright Stamp from Joanns.

I put the cards together and then added the white ribbon as an embellishment and then stamped merry & bright with red distress ink.
