Thinking of you at...

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone!!

YAY! the weekend is here! Thank goodness --

This week has been crazy busy at work and

I can totally use the downtime! How about you?

I thought I would share a SUPER QUICK 5 Minute CARD!

Say What??? YUP! This card really only took me

5 minutes to make!! AND - It's a Christmas card!!

Let me start by telling you - I happen to

come across the image in my scraps pile

EVEN BETTER! LOL and when I took a

look at it, I was like - Ooh, wow... I've had a 

5 minute card sitting here in my stash and

didn't realize it - UGH!! LOL

Here it is --

Now how easy is that??? LOL

Basically the paper is from an OLD DCWV paper stack

When I saw it, I thought... HELLO easy card right here!

So I pulled out my Stitched Rectangle die and placed

it over my image - Then I used my Clear Wink of

Stella glitter pen on all the leaves & the birds wing --

 - then I Stamped a Christmas Sentiment

with some Memento Rich Cocoa Ink in my Misti

Thought I should make the berries pop too, so I

pulled out my glossy accents and just dotted each berry

I used a piece of Fun Foam behind the design and

popped it right up on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Red cardbase

Besides being super simple I thought it was a cute image --

Another card for my 2018 Stash!

I think I better go take another look at my

Christmas Scrap Stash pile - Just in case I find

another 5 minute card to make!! You just never know!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a FANTASTIC WEEKEND!!

Celebrate Brightly...

Hello & Happy Tuesday Everyone!

How was your Weekend? Did you get 3 days off?

I did, so it was nice to get a bunch of stuff done

I'm still working on re-organizing my Dies and placing

them on Magnetic sheets - I'm almost done! So YAY for that!

I thought I would share my Next set of

Christmas cards with you --

There should have been only 2 cards - but for some reason

when I went to print the first set of 2 - one did not

print correctly - So I had to re-print them and I'm NOT

one for wasting space - So I just went ahead and printed out

2 more of the same design - So then I had 3 cards to make! :)

The image is from the Silhouette Store (MOD WREATH) #22994

and I got it when Silhouette was having their 50¢ Christmas Sale.

I used the Gina Marie Wonky Stitch Die to cut out

my Wreath image on these 2 cards - And the cardbase is

Melon Mambo from Stampin' Up -- I sprayed my images with some

Acrylic Sealer, before adding on some Clear Wink of Stella to the

bows and pink dots --

I attached the Wreath Image to some white Fun Foam then

attached them to my cardbase - I die cut the word

Celebrate (MFT) 4x's (2 for each card) and layered them

on top of each other, before placing on my card --

Then I stamped "This Christmas" from Hero Arts in the lower

portion of the card --- 

I also added some Ice Cube Jewels from Lucy's Cards

to give it a little extra Sparkle!

Since this one was my extra card - I wanted it to be a little bit different 

So I die cut the Wreath Image out with a Scalloped Stitch Die

I used White Cardstock as my base, then I added a piece of Melon

Mambo, then I layered my image on top of that with some Fun Foam

I die cut the Celebrate word out 2x's for this one as well and

added the Same Sentiment as before -- I also sprayed

this with some Acrylic Sealer before using my Wink of Stella pen

and of course I added some Ice Cube Jewels too -- 

I really like all 3 cards - They are very different than my

"Normal" Christmas cards - The Bright Pink and Greens

just make this Happy & Fun!

Looks like 3 more cards completed in my collection!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a FABULOUS Day!!

Joy, Joy, Joy....

Hello and Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!

Last year I challenged myself to make 1 

Christmas Card a week - until Mid. Oct - 1st of Nov.

Well, I did manage to get all my holiday cards

done and I labeled all the envelopes & had

them all stamped by Dec. 1st! YUP! It worked for me --

So this year I will continue with this same process -
the only thing is - I've already got 19 cards done! Say WHAT?

Well, since I finished all of mine early enough I still
had Design Team projects that needed to be made
for the holidays... so that got me a jump start on my
2018 Christmas cards! How crazy is that??

I'm so happy I did it though - it made me realize 
how stressful making your own cards can be during the holidays
and knowing that I'm doing them weekly throughout the year
really does add LESS STRESS!

So, today's cards (Yes more than 1) was
actually made the end of Nov. 
I found the image in the Silhouette Store
and then these quick cards came out of it --

Check them out --

I got 2 Regular cards and 1 Gift Card made - 

Here's my Simple Gift Card Holder -- This was actually a mistake when I was doing
the sizing in my Silhouette Program - Of course NOW it's a good mistake! LOL
The JOY image is (#230500) and the Scallop Card Shape is (#25782)
I went to cut the Scallop Card shape out and realized it was
NOT the size I wanted - but then I realized it could
totally work for a Gift card design and that's how this one came about!

Here's the inside of my holder --

I used the Jaded Blossom (Scallop Slider & Topper Die) to

make the slits for a gift card to sit inside of this

This was the actual size I was looking for when deciding to make the JOY Image

into a card - I had to enlarge everything before getting it to cut the size I wanted --

This actually opens just like the gift card, but on a Flat Card Base

I really like the fun way it opens and how I brought the JOY

inside the card as well -- I tried to find papers that matched

the Fun colors -- The inside sentiment is from 

My Craft Spot (which is no longer in business) 

This is the last Joy Card I made - Simple and easy to mass produce

if needed - But I'll  probably just stick with the ones I already made --

I added Clear Wink of Stella to the J, Y, Carrot Nose, & Ear Muffs on

ALL 3 projects - Before I did though - As I have an Inkjet Printer

I spray my paper with some Acrylic Sealer first and let Dry Completely

before adding any sparkle - otherwise, my images would fade out

when adding the wink of Stella on them - Just an FYI for you

I used Ice Cube Jewels from Lucy's Cards on all 3 projects

Other Products Used --

Cardstock - Recollections 110lb., Stampin' Up, Bazzill, Fun Foam

Designer Paper - MME & DCWV

Stitched Rectangle Die - MFT

Stitched Scallop Die & Smaller Rectangle die - Craftin' Desert Divas

Big Shot, Misti Tool, Canon Pro 9000 Printer, Cameo  3

Have a FABULOUS DAY!!
