Purple Snowflakes

It seems I always make the traditional red and green Christmas cards or blue snowflakes, so I wanted to mix it up a bit and try a different color.  I found this purple patterned paper with snowflakes on it and that was my inspiration.  This silver snowflake die is called "Bianca" from Memory Box.  It is so delicate and I was wondering how well it would cut, but I was surprised, it cut quite well!  These are cut from shiny silver paper.  The purple snowflake behind the silver is punched with a Marvy punch.  I then added some Glimmermist to the purple snowflake for some added glitz.  The glittery pen (swirls around the edges) was from Gelly Roll.  The "holiday photos" was cut from my Cricut using the cartridge "Joys of the Season".

The Great Outdoors!

Look at this darling moose! I found this Cricut cartridge "Campin' Critters" and just had to have it! I made this moose into some cards, but I also made a few photo/journal albums.  He just seemed to be the perfect cover for these.  I used the Stampin' Up "On Board Journal" for this project. The paper is by "Happy Camper" by Imaginisce (found at my local Ludington craft store!)  The title "the great outdoors" was also part of this cartridge.  The senitment "smile" is Stampin' Up and the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" is from "Say Cheese, too" by LawnFawn.

Owl for You!

Here are a few owl cards I made or received  this past summer.  See all the different ways you can use this cute owl punch from Stampin' Up? All cards were made with the owl punch.  Most supplies and materials here are from Stampin' Up (except for the leaf punch border and some of the ribbon).

Glitter Leaves

Here is another Thanksgiving card I made using this new paper pack "Autumn Splendor".  The leaf is made with the stamp set and die "Leaf Prints" from Paper Trey Ink.  This time I used some distressing Stickles glitter glue (Ranger). 

Gobble! Gobble!

It's getting to be that time of year!  I have been making a ton of holiday cards.  Here are some Thanksgiving cards I just added to my spot at Changing Thymes. I made these cards using the stamp set and matching dies "Gobble Gobble" from Paper Trey Ink.  Again, the paper is from the paper pack "Autumn Splendor" (see previous post).  Of course, the googly eyes really make this card so cute.  Don't forget, if you are in mid-West Michigan, check out my booth (all the booths) at Changing Thymes on Chicago Dr. in Grandville, Michigan!  Awesome store, be prepared to spend some time there!  I will be adding my Christmas selection this week!  Check back to see some of my designs!

Felt Leaves

These cards are made using the stamp set Leaf Prints from Paper Trey Ink and the matching dies.  I cut the leaves from felt (also from Paper Trey) and then stamped the leaf veins.  I added some clear glitter glue to add some sparkle.  The scallop circle is cut using a Nestibilities set (Beaded Circle, I think).  The paper is from the paper pack Autumn Splendor from We R Memory Keepers.  I will be showing a lot of cards from this paper pack - I love the fall plaid in this card.

Sparkle Leaf

November is right around the corner and this is a perfect November fall card. The card stock and ink colors I used are Soft Suede and Baja Breeze (both from Stampin' Up)  The pattern paper is from "First Edition Specialty" from Stampin'Up. The maple leaf is heat embossed using white embossing powder. I then sponged ink around the embossed leaf and added glitter glue (from Ranger).  I added wrinkled ribbon (seam binding) that I antiqued with Bronze glimmer mist (Tattered Angels).
